Known for his unique appearance, particularly his viral “sea urchin” hairstyle, Jo gained widespread attention when he was first introduced to the K-Pop scene. His bold, red, and spiky hair quickly made him stand out in an industry where it’s difficult to make an impact, cementing his place as one of the group’s most talked-about members.

H Music Entertainment confirmed Jo’s departure in a brief statement, revealing that he had taken a break due to health issues. After extensive discussions, both Jo and the company agreed it was best for him to step down from the group.

“Hello, this is H Music Entertainment.

We would like to inform you about the future activities of DXMON and member JO.
Recently, JO took a break due to health reasons, and after in-depth discussions with us, it has been decided that JO will no longer continue activities as part of DXMON.

Moving forward, DXMON will continue with a five-member formation, and we kindly ask for your warm support for JO as they embark on a new path.
We deeply appreciate the love and support from all the fans of DXMON.

Thank you.”

Jo went on hiatus from activities due to health complications over 3 months ago. Many fans are upset that H Music kept Jo’s health condition under wraps during that period, leaving fans in the dark. Furthermore, the announcement of his departure was initially only shared on the group’s exclusive fan cafe, making it inaccessible to many fans.

Angry comments have flooded social media, with many accusing the company of poor management and communication. Fans feel that Jo deserved a more transparent and respectful departure announcement, sparking further frustration and disappointment.
