110223 U-Kiss Kim Kibum -The Agency Request for Withdrawal

Kim Kibum recently talked about his withdrawal from U-KISS.

On the 23rd, Kim Kibum said during a phone interview with Sportchosun "I did't quit the team, I was asked to leave. 2 or 3 weeks ago, the company said to us that 'Changes is needed in U-KISS. Two members will be replaced'. So I asked 'Am I the target of the replacement' and they replied 'yes'. Since then, they keep asking me about contract termination everyday. It seems better for them if I terminate the contract as soon as possible. They asked me to sign the agreement of contract termination and with the terms claiming that 'I agree to terminate the contract with the agency'. I was asked to promise not to say anything until the next album come out, I am embarrassed of this. The talks about me leaving the team because of my business is ridiculous. Alexander hyung's contract has not been terminated yet. I heard that he will be used only for international activities. It's ridiculous."

Kim Kibum explained the situation through his Twitter and Cyworld "Hello this is U-KISS Kibum, or more specifically, an ex-member of U-KISS, Kim Kibum. After two months of delay, I've finally plucked up the courage to write this post. First off, the agency and I have made an agreement to terminate about my exclusive contract on February 2011. As the agency desired a member replacement, we wrote out a consent document for a contract dissolution, and from that day on, I became a former member of U-KISS. Contrary to what most of you might be thinking, this is unrelated to my Piro Piro business … nor is it about losing interest in U-KISS. I always thought importantly of U-KISS more than anyone, and I'm proud to say that not once did my Piro Piro character business impede my schedules with U-KISS.. I always thought of the members as more than family."

"I'm extremely upset that I have to part with them like this, but it was because of my lacking areas which warranted my former agency to desire a member replacement. I may be leaving on a one-sided decision, however, I was able to learn a lot and meet many people, as well as the U-KISS members. My feelings are very mixed up on the thought that the few lines in this message could hurt a lot of people I love. I will continue my personal activities on broadcast. Thank you to all the people who supported me wherever I was, and I will meet you once again as an artist and entrepreneur."

On the 23rd, U-KISS's agency NH Media said "KimKibum and Alexander had leave the team. Kibum left because he wanted to focus on his character business that he created with his brother, SS501's Kim Hyungjun. Alexander decided to withdraw because of school and other personal reasons. After a long time worrying about this matter, They have been contempating about this matter for a long time, and after discussion, we agreed with the contract termination."

Former U-Kiss member Kim Kibum recently confessed his feelings about leaving the team.

“I didn’t quit, they canceled my contract,” said Kim Kibum in a phone conversation with Newsen on the 23rd. Kibum added, “the agency first told us they are going to replace two members. They demanded me to sign an agreement on canceling my contract, so I did.”

Kibum was puzzled about the news that said he had quit the group. “I feel sorry to our fans,” said Kibum.

Kibum posted a long tweet to his fans:
That tweet began with, “안녕하세요 유키스 기범, 아니 정확히는 유키스로 활동했던 김기범입니다/ Hello, I am U-Kiss Kibum, no, I was U-Kiss Kim Kibum.”

Kibum says he didn’t voluntarily quit U-Kiss to focus on his Piro Piro character business but was required to sign the contract cancellation agreement and leave the group. Kibum says his business never distracted him from his U-Kiss activites and prioritized U-Kiss over anything else.

“가족같이 아니 그 이상으로 멤버들을 생각해왔습니다 이렇게 헤어지게 된것이 정말 섭섭한 마음이지만 제가 모자란 부분이 많아 유키스에 교체가 필요할 것이라는 전 소속사의 의견또한 존중하는 바입니다 / I thought of the members like my family…no, more than that. I’m so sad to say good-bye to them like this but I do respect the agency’s decision to replace me with someone better.”

Kibum thanked his fans and promised that he’ll continue to appear on air by himself as both a talent and business man.

This was also the case for member Alexander. “I did leave U-Kiss,” said Alexander on the phone with Newsen. “But it wasn’t because of school like they stated.”

U-Kiss’s agency NH Media will be replacing Kim Kibum and Alexander with new members, believing that it will strengthen the group vocals and bring about a change to U-Kiss.
