“Hello, this is TS Entertainment.
We are here to inform everyone about B.A.P member Bang Yongguk, who was with TS Entertainment from August 12, 2011 to his contract expiration on August 19, 2018.
After a period of long consultation with both Bang Yongguk and the B.A.P members, we were unable to reach a new contract with him, and will respect his decision.
We would like to express our gratitude to him and wish him well in his future endeavors.
