DXMON, the rookie boy band, is experiencing a change in its line-up after a year of its debut. The youngest member Jo separated from the group after a detailed discussion. Their agency announced that the boy band would continue their K-pop career as a quintet in the future.

On September 29, DXMON’s agency H MUSIC Entertainment released an official statement about the group’s fan cafe. They stated that after a detailed discussion, the maknae Jo decided to end his activities with the boy band. This news comes four months after his hiatus was announced.

Jo has taken a break from group activities since June 11 after it was revealed he was suffering from health problems.

Kim Jun Seong, known professionally as Jo, was the youngest member of DXMON before leaving the group. Born on February 4, 2008, the 16-year-old K-pop idol was used as the boy band’s rapper and dancer. He is known for his fun-loving personality and often acted as the group’s cheerleader.

DXMON is a rookie boy band led by H MUSIC Entertainment (formerly SSQ Entertainment & NV Entertainment). On January 17, 2024, the group made their official debut with their first mini-album HYPERSPACE and the title song Spark.

Before Jo left, the group consisted of six people. The reformed membership list consists of five members – Seita, Minjae, Hee, TK and Rex.

On May 14, 2024, the group celebrated their official comeback with their first single album Hyperspace 911 and the title song Girls, Love Boys, Love Girls. The group is quickly building a loyal following both in South Korea and abroad and making a name for themselves with their new music. Especially through her youth film, DXMON became the representative K-pop idol of the 5th generation, which increased the anticipation of her upcoming activities.
