Hyun has officially announced his departure from the boy group n.SSign. This news follows a long hiatus that began in mid-2023, primarily due to health issues. Formed from the survival program Stars Awakening, n.SSign debuted in August 2023, but Hyun has not had the opportunity to officially debut with the group. Here are three key points about Hyun’s departure and his future plans.
1. Hyun Leaves n.SSign After Hiatus
On Monday, August 5, 2024, n.CH Entertainment announced Hyun’s decision to leave n.SSign. The company released an official statement expressing gratitude to the global fandom, COSMO, for their unwavering support and explained the circumstances surrounding Hyun’s departure. Due to health concerns, Hyun was unable to continue as a member of the group. Despite efforts to support his return, Hyun’s health condition made it difficult for him to perform on stage. The statement also mentioned Hyun’s transition to a new career path as an actor under his birth name, Park Hyun.
“We respect Hyun’s opinion and support him as he begins a new journey. We ask all of COSMO to give great encouragement and support to Hyun,” the statement read.
2. Hyun Embarks on a New Acting Career
Hyun is set to pursue a career in acting, using his birth name, Park Hyun. He previously made his acting debut in the Korean drama Sound Candy, which aired on TVING from June to July 2023. In the drama, he played a supporting role as Jeong Hyeon. With this new career path, Hyun aims to develop his acting skills further and explore new opportunities in the entertainment industry.
3. n.SSign Continues as a Nine-Member Group
Following Hyun’s departure, n.SSign will continue their activities with a nine-member formation. The remaining members are Kazuta, Eddie, Doha, Sungyun, Junhyeok, Robin, Hanjun, Laurence, and Huiwon. Currently, Eddie and Doha are also on hiatus due to health issues, and they will not participate in the latest activities. The group recently made a comeback with their album Tiger, released on July 18, 2024, and are actively promoting it with seven members.
Hyun, who joined n.SSign through the Stars Awakening program, has not had the chance to officially debut with the group due to his hiatus. As he embarks on his new journey as an actor, we hope for his success and smooth transition into this new career path.
