INFINITE’s Dongwoo and Sungyeol have decided to leave Woollim Entertainment after 11 years. On March 31, the label announced via statement that Dongwoo and Sungyeol’s contracts had expired and they have concluded to not renew the contract, after ample discussion.
Not long back, the group’s leader Sunggyu also left Woollim Entertainment after his contract’s expiration. The group first renewed their contract in 2017 and Hoya left after his contract’s expiration. ‘L’ also departed in 2019 but said that he would continue with the group.
Hello, this is Woollim Entertainment.
First, we are sincerely grateful for the fans who are supporting and cheering on INFINITE.
We are writing to announce that our exclusive contracts with INFINITE members Jang Dongwoo and Lee Sungyeol, who have been with us for 11 years, have come to an end. As their contract expiration date approached, we engaged in deep discussions with both members, and in the end it was decided that they would not renew their contracts.
Dongwoo and Sungyeol have been active in various fields ever since they debuted in 2010 as part of the group INFINITE. The agency shares our deepest gratitude to the two of them for being with us as long as 11 years.
We thank the fans who have sent their support for Dongwoo and Sungyeol’s music and other activities, and we will continue to cheer on these two members’ futures as they make a new start.
Furthermore, we concluded our final collaboration with INFINITE’s leader Sunggyu, whose contract expired earlier, on his single album “Won’t Forget You,” upon its release on March 29. We would also like to sincerely thank Kim Sunggyu for wrapping up the past 11 years in such a beautiful way.
Thank you.
INFINITE debuted in 2010 and have dropped hit tracks like “Be Mine,” “Paradise,” “Back,” “The Chaser,” “Man In Love,” and so much more. Since 2018, the members have been finishing their mandatory military service.
