OMEGA X is officially moving forward as 10 members. On June 1, 2026, IPQ Entertainment announced that Junghoon had left the group due to ongoing health issues. According to the agency, the decision came after lengthy discussions with Junghoon and the other members. IPQ said his condition had made it difficult for him to continue keeping up with the group’s schedule, so everyone agreed that it was best for him to leave the group.
Why Did He Left His Group
In a handwritten letter, Junghoon thanked fans for all their support. He described his departure as a courageous new beginning.
Before Junghoon left OMEGA X, the group had been inactive for a long time. Back on May 2, 2025, IPQ Entertainment announced that he would suspend activities after doctors advised him to rest following a hospital visit tied to an abnormal health condition. He stayed away from all group activities since then.
Junghoon has dealt with health issues for a while. Earlier in his career, he also underwent surgery and rehabilitation for a torn cruciate ligament. Fans were already worried about his health and his long-term recovery back then. Junghoon debuted in 2019 with the group ENOi before re-debuting with OMEGA X in 2021. Over his five-year career, he was a key part of the group. He worked as a main dancer and helped create their music.
OMEGA X will continue promotions as a 10-member group under IPQ Entertainment following Junghoon’s departure.
This news is painful for fans, but they were expecting this. Junghoon hasn’t been active for over a year, so many people have already wondered if he would stay in the group. Even so, the news was hard to take. Most fans are just focused on his health and hope he can recover away from the spotlight.
This news comes during a tough time for OMEGA X, as their career has been very difficult. The group’s career changed a lot after they faced abuse allegations against their old agency, Spire Entertainment, and the legal fight that followed. Still, the members regrouped under IPQ Entertainment and continued.
