IST Entertainment released a statement after Heo Chan left VICTON.
In its message, the company thanked the fans for their interest in the group. The company also apologized to fans for “causing distress” with the unexpected revelation and asked them to be patient. Following the scandal last month, IST Entertainment announced that Heo Chan will be leaving the group. The group will currently be active with six members: Seungwoo, Seungsik, Sejun, Hanse, Byungchan, and Soobin. However, because Seungwoo is currently doing his military service, the group will now be promoted with 5 members.
The band is gearing up for an upcoming event, VICTON FAN CONCERT 2022. [CHRONICLE], they said. IST Entertainment also sought fans’ help as the members worked hard to give fans a spectacular performance.
VICTON’s supporters shed tears at the male singer’s choice.
As soon as the news of Heo Chan’s departure from the group became public, VICTON fans took to social media to share their feelings and opinions. Although fans have different opinions on whether this is right or wrong, most of them expressed their feelings about it. Some fans also said they were grateful for the K-pop idol’s decision to leave the group.
Meanwhile, many fans are reviewing his best VICTON videos and moments, affirming that he will always be a part of the group. The singer was arrested in September for driving under the influence of alcohol. He has now stopped all group and solo activities. He also published an apology letter in which he expressed regret for his actions.
I expect this result to be honest. I respect that, really. But it still hurts me to say the least.
Nice to meet you. Thank you for everything. Care, care no matter what. Wish you well.
I will miss you so much, Heo Chan.
