He was their vocalist.
Almost a year after debut, in December 2023, it was announced that he would no longer be a part of the group. Fans had caught him allegedly dating another fan. According to fans, his alleged girlfriend exposed him after they broke up.

Dang, who’s this? Isn’t he Shin Jaewon, who sent an anonymous SPIN question to a fan, then DMed the fan on Twitter and dated them, only to be exposed on an egg account after they broke up, then withdrew from the group not even a year into debut?

The evidence collected included the SPIN message that started it all. The question asked, “what would you do if Shin Jaewon messaged you secretly?”
He DMed them later, sending a photo of his fingers and of a filming prop as proof.
Fan: “Can I ask what the reason is?”
Jaewon: “It’s me. So you’ll keep this a secret, right?”
They took things to Kakaotalk after.
Jaewon: “I wanted to get your number in person, so I dragged things out.”
Fan: “Is that so? LOL. [Redacted]”
Jaewon: “Hahaha. How’s the big picture I tried for?”
Jaewon is set to compete in PROJECT7. He has remained without a company since his withdrawal from THE WIND.
