Recently, the band Jannabi has become the center of heated controversy over their collaboration with former member Yoo YoungHyun, who left the team due to past school violence allegations. This news has sparked considerable debate among fans, leading to a variety of opinions.
According to the music industry, Yoo YoungHyun has been working as a sound engineer for Jannabi, participating in performances and rehearsals even after leaving the band. This revelation triggered significant backlash from fans, prompting Pepony Music’s CEO Choi JungJoon to release a statement on the official fan cafe. Choi stated, “We have decided not to proceed with Yoo YoungHyun’s sound assistance any further,” acknowledging that the handling of the matter was inappropriate for fans and issuing an apology.
Choi further explained the collaboration rumors with Yoo YoungHyun, stating, “There was no intention to hide this from the beginning,” and that they planned to explain it in detail once the ongoing issues were resolved. However, he emphasized that it is not true that Yoo YoungHyun was directly involved in Jannabi’s music projects and revealed plans to take legal action against false information.
The band’s leader Choi JungHoon conveyed a heartfelt apology to fans, saying, “I apologize for trying to bring him in as a staff member through a wrong process.”
Yoo YoungHyun was identified as a perpetrator of school violence in 2019 and subsequently left Jannabi, having admitted his wrongdoing at the time. Jannabi was formed in 2011 and has undergone several changes while continuing their activities. The impact of this controversy on Jannabi’s future endeavors remains to be seen, with fans and the industry focusing on the direction the band will take in their upcoming activities.
