Previously on August 27, Woollim Entertainment announced the departure of Bomin, TAG, and Jibeom from both Golden Child and the agency following the expiration of their contracts. At that time, the agency also shared that Lee Jangjun, Bae Seungmin, Bong Jaehyun, Kim Donghyun, and Hong Joochan had renewed their contracts. However, with today’s announcement, only Jangjun and Joochan remain under Woollim Entertainment.

We extend our heartfelt wishes for Golden Child’s members’ continued success in all future endeavors!
