Hello, this is FNC Entertainment.

We are here to announce our company’s stance in regards to N.Flying’s Kwon Kwang Jin.

N.Flying has been showcasing enjoyable music while working hard to deliver feelings of joy to fans.

After having meeting and confirming the details regarding Kwon Kwang Jin that is currently circulating online, we have determined that the parts relating to [Kwon Kwang Jin’s] relationship with a fan and the sexual harassment allegations posted by some netizens are not true.

Because we have confirmed that he did have personal interactions with fans outside of official schedules, after long discussions, it has been decided that he will voluntarily leave the team, as such actions are considered improper for [an idol] member. Until we establish the facts, all of Kwon Kwang Jin’s activities will be halted and he will be having a period of self-reflection.

Additionally, we will be confirming the facts surrounding the posts online with both sides and if [such posts] are proven to be false rumors, we will be taking strong action.

We promise that without any changes to the other N.Flying members’ promotional activities, we will deliver great music with an improved image from now on.

N.Flying made their Korean debut in 2015 with their mini album “Awesome.” In 2017, “Produce 101 Season 2” contestant Yoo Hoe Seung joined the group. The band recently released their track “Like a Flower” as part of their “Fly High Project.”
