Jared Leto Tried To Stop The New “Joker” Movie From Being Made

Jared Leto was said to be fuming over the new Todd Phillip’s project, “Joker”, and at one point even tried to shut it down.

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, a source familiar with Leto, said that the actor was left enraged when he learned that Warner Bros. has green-lit Phillip’s project.

This left the Oscar winner feeling like he been hard strung by the studio, with them also promising Leto to have his own Joker stand-alone film, which has yet to come to fruition. Leto reportedly complained to his agents at CAA, who also represent Philips, and also pressured his music manager, Irving Azoff, to contact the Warner’s parent company’s leader. All of this was to ensure that the “Joker” movie was killed off.

The resulting backlash of the entire event have seemingly made Leto jump ship to CAA’s competitor, WMA, which Leto is now represented by. It was reported that Leto felt that CAA should have notify him about the Phillip’s project sooner and fought harder for his rendition of the Joker character. The actor also reportedly ended his relationship with Azoff, for the same reason.

In light of the incident, Leto’s new representative from WMA has come out to smooth over the entire situation. The new representative claimed that the actor is still happily working with Warner Bros. with Leto currently filming John Lee Hancock’s “Little Things” with the studio, insisting that there is no bad blood between them.

Leto portrayed the Joker character back in 2016, in the “Suicide Squid” movie with him infamously being a little too into the role. Ultimately, his performance in the DC film was less than desirable, which resulted in his Joker character being stuck in limbo.

Last Friday (18th October), a breach of security occurred on the university’s servers run by University of Malaya (UM). It caused massive panic among the university’s personals and students as messages were passed around warning others about the hack.

The university initially denied any of their data or information were compromised during the breach. However, a file was found several hours later, in an anonymous file-sharing – containing information involving the academic and non-academic staffs of the university.

According to tech website Lowyat, the first part of the leaked data contained payslip details such as bank names and account numbers, which were matched to staff names, as well as MyKad and staff ID numbers.

The second part was somewhat smaller in size but contained additional confidential information of Employees Tax (IRB) numbers, EPF numbers, department, branch location, position as well as salary information.

The discovery also include 24,000 email ID’s alongside hashed login credentials inside the second part, with Lowyat strongly believing that the login credentials was part of the E-pay website, also run by UM, defaced in the day before.

The person or group that have come forward to claim the responsibility for breath called themselves, MrX. In a Facebook post made by MrX, they criticised the security measures of UM towards the protection of their data, using words like “Nothing is secure” as part of their critism.

Despite the breach, MrX have claimed that they have no ill will towards the students however claiming that “We are love All UM student “. The breach have prompted the investigation by the JPDP, Personal Data Protection Department, who state they are currently looking into the report regarding the matter.

On the other hand, a new post yesterday made by MrX have left many nervous with them ending the post with “Next target. You are never stop it.” as if to indicate their intention to hack another institution or organisation.

A week has passed since the tragic news of former K-Pop star Sulli (설리)’s passing. But several questions surrounding her sudden death remain unanswered.

Recently, a pair of firefighters have confessed that they have leaked the ex-f(x) member’s emergency first response reports. As a result, the two men were officially dismissed from their duties.

Source: MDN News

“We confirmed the two employees who leaked the reports on social media. And after interrogation, we have decided to dismiss them from duty,” said Lee Hyungchul, head of Gyeonggi-do Fire & Disaster Headquarters during the National Administrative Safety Committee on Friday (18th October).

“We will take the appropriate measures to strengthen security training to prevent recurrences,” Lee further added during the session.

One of the firefighters, who issued a public apology on Thursday (17th October) claimed that the other guy – who was unidentified – took photos of the reports about the incident and forwarded it to a colleague.

The latter then made things worse when he/she shared the photo in a group chat. As a result, the details of the news were spread online. Feel free to check out the video below to get to know more about this case:

In response to Lee’s statement, Kwon Minhyuk – a member of the Democratic Party – commented by saying, “Strict disciplinary standards are required for special reports. There should be a harsh punishment for those who shared this information through social media as well as friends and family.”

“Leaking reports is like killing someone twice. There must be guidelines present concerning the leaking of reports. Please give a direct apology to the family members,” Kwon further added.

Kim Minki from the same political party agreed with Kwon’s point by adding, “The reports that have leaked on domestic and foreign sites were in different states to when it was posted. I feel as if they (the firefighters) didn’t think it’s a big deal for them when posting these reports online. They need to know how much pain it would have caused if these things leak.”

Meanwhile, autopsy results revealed that Sulli’s death was not caused by foul play. In addition, drugs and toxicology tests are still pending.

Michael Bublé and Christmas songs – can you even named a more iconic duo? Robbie Williams is coming for the Mr Christmas title though as he’s set to release his very own Christmas album this coming November.

While it been something of a Christmas tradition, with Bublé’s songs blasting inside our favourite malls and in our homes, Williams aims change all that.

The Brit is aiming to be the new face of our festive cheers with his very first Christmas album titled “The Christmas Present”. The announcement was first made in a Swedish bar in London last week, with him later taking the announcement to YouTube.

Not only that, according to NME, during a recent Q&A session with Scott Mills, the former Take That singer gave his thoughts in regard to the new project. “You’re always looking for a reason to go into the studio,” he told Mills. “And I thought: ‘Why don’t I own birthdays like Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder? Or New Year’s Day like… U2?”  he continued.

When asked about Bublé, who seems to always dominate the festive cheers, William responded, saying, “This album was gonna be called ‘Achtung Buble’, I f**king love Michael, but it must stop. It must end now.”

In any case, the “Angels” singer is certainly giving it his all, with the album boasting 28 tracks and a host of collaborations with top named artist which includes the likes of Sir Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams and Jamie Cullum. The album is set to release on 22nd November.

It’s clear he has not stopped drinking bubble tea,” someone commented, referring to the singer’s promise to cut down on the sinful tapioca balls. It wasn’t long before many others piled on the trend, bringing up the fact that Jay had previously vowed to quit bubble tea.

When a person puts on weight, there is not one cup of bubble tea that is innocent,” a netizen chimed in, while another said, “Hand over the bubble tea, Director Jay!” The entertainer has been linked to bubble tea for a while now.

Who can blame the guy? The young generation are addicted to boba tea. After all, a bubble tea shop was even featured in Jay’s “Won’t Cry” music video. It even went viral after a pop-up version debuted in Shanghai.

Give the guy a break though. You can’t expect him to maintain the six-pack abs he had during his heyday. It’s normal for one’s metabolism to slow down especially after hitting a new decade.

Any Primadonnas (FT Island fans) here have been missing Lee Hongki (이홍기)?

The 29-year-old entertainer recently greeted his fans with a handwritten letter in just a short of a month after enlisting in the military on 30th September this year.

FT Island’s home label, FNC Entertainment revealed his letter that reads:

“Dear Primadonnas,

Hahahaha never thought of writing to you from the military camp! Haha hey friends!! How are you guys doing? I’m doing well. Just as you guys said, I think my adaptability is the best. My fellow army friends are all nice, and we’re having so much fun. They’re all either pig (too fat) or skeletons (too thin) so I make them work out haha. 

I thought my stamina would become poor due to my increasing age, but thanks to life wisdom (?) earned from over 20 years in the industry, I managed to overcome the problems. What about you guys??

Source: AllKpop

“I’ve been getting really good must-have items for the military that were brought by you guys during the fan-signing event. Thank you! I can’t read the letters you sent me online because there are too many of them haha. 

Another reason I wrote this letter is to apologise to you guys. I’ve been having a lot of thoughts – especially thinking of what I should do first with you guys after I’m discharged, and what kind of song I should release as a gift. First, let’s do another Pocha event. I’ll try to convince my agency haha, even if it’s by myself.

“Do you guys still remember me saying that there’s a goal I would like to achieve in the military? That I would like to become close with fellow soldiers as well as a lot more people to promote our songs? I think I’m about halfway there in completing the goal just by being here at the training centre. Our platoon leader played “Quit” for us during the lights out. The people who got my autograph said they’ll be there for our concert haha. I think it’s about 500 people. 

Hope you’re doing well, bye. Hongstar”

For those who might not know, “Quit” is the band’s latest song taken from their 7th mini album titled “Zapping”. According to AllKpop, this comeback was their last release before they go on a hiatus in conjunction with their vocalist’s enlistment in the military.

We believe fellow Primadonnas out there have missed him dearly as well. Take care Hongki and please come back safe. <3

You know when you’re a little girl and you want this big beautiful wedding, and I used to think I was one of those girls, I always wanted the fairytale. But then the things that used to matter to you don’t matter as much because I remember wanting those things with people, where real love wasn’t there. So now I feel like now that everything has finally lined up and matched up being that I’m madly in love with this man, he’s also my best friend, the things that used to matter to me before, don’t matter as much now.

Is Jacqueline Wong (黃心穎) considering to make her comeback in Malaysia?

Despite reshooting Jacqueline’s scenes in “Forensic Heroes IV” (法證先鋒IV) with Roxanne Tong coming in as a substitute, TVB has decided to broadcast “Finding Her Voice” (牛下女高音) in Hong Kong.

The disgraced actress did not return to her country to promote the film (understandably so, since some people are still out for her head), but she might be considering making a public comeback. Interestingly, reports say that she could be appearing in Malaysia to do some promotional work.

Miley Cyrus Responds To LGBTQ Community’s Backlash After IG Live Controversy

Miley Cyrus has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and not all of it is good.

The most recent one involves her on the receiving end of the LGBTQ community wrath after an Instagram live recording she did last Sunday (20th October, 2019), turned sour.

In the recording, “The party in the USA” singer said, “There are good men out there, guys, don’t give up. You don’t have to be gay, there are good people with d**s out there, you’ve just got to find them.”

She continued, “You’ve got to find a d**k that’s not a d**k, you know? I always thought I had to be gay, because I thought all guys were evil, but it’s not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have d**k. I’ve only ever met one, and he’s on this live.”

Backlash quickly filled up the comments section of the post. With many netizens pointed out that no one decides to be gay and that the reason people are LGBTQ is not because they couldn’t find a man who wasn’t a d**k. This led to the Cyrus’ response on Twitter.

“I was talking s–t about sucky guys, but let me be clear, YOU don’t CHOOSE your sexuality,” she wrote. You are born as you are. It has always been my priority to protect the LGBTQ community I am a part of. Happy Monday!” she wrote on Monday (21st October, 2019).

Source: Entertainment Tonight

The response was not enough to quench the backlash as quite a few netizens still questioned her action on the entire Instagram Live situation. I’ve lost so much respect for you. If you were truly apart of the LGBTQ community you would of never said those things. Your words were so hurtful!” one wrote on Twitter. 

Not all responses she received were negative, as many of her fans have come out in defence of the former “Hannah Montana” star. Hate that people have to create drama out of an amazing live stream I loved it so much thank you for sharing your happy mellow private home & music with us” one user wrote. “She doesn’t have to explain herself! It was a joke and she is allowed to speak freely as a human being.” another netizen added.

Whether you love or hate her, you can’t deny that the “Wrecking Ball” singer definitely is getting all the spotlight at the moment, whether she wants it or not.

Kate Beckinsale has revealed why she refuse to work with Ryan Reynolds during a recent interview she did with Jimmy Fallon.

The host of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” invited the 46-year-old actress to the show to thank her for launching his career when she rocked a short hair cut back in the day.

Source: Headline Planet

During their chit-chat, the British actress confessed that she sometimes think that she looks like the Canadian Star. She told Fallon “Like, when sometimes, I see a bus going by with a poster on it I think, ‘Damn, I look hot. Oh, wait, that’s not me. Also, I’ve never done that movie.'”

Though, the talk show host did not see the resemblance, the “Underworld” star was adamant about her resemblance to the “Deadpool” star. “I’ve wrestled with how, obviously, he’s not even like a sort of slightly-girly-boy-bander type, He’s like a big Canadian man and I really see myself in him,” she added.

“I can’t be in the same room as him,” she joked. “Because one of us, I think, would explode, or something would happen.”

She then added “But I have had boyfriends in the same room with him while I was not there and they felt really compromised, like way too intimate,” which prompt Fallon to ask “Like they were attracted to Ryan?”

“No, they just feel like they know things about him, about his undercarriage, that they shouldn’t,” she jest.

The “Pearl Harbour” actress was on the show to promote her upcoming film “Farming” which is out right now in the United Kingdom, but won’t be release in Malaysia unfortunately.

Interview: Kevin McHale On Why He Joined “Celebrity: X-Factor” 

$

Kevin McHale is perhaps the most recognisable celebrity on the “Celebrity: X-Factor”. The 31-year-old singer and actor is best known for playing disabled student Artie Abrams on the hit show, “Glee”.

McHale previously opened for the PussyCat Dolls in 2007 when he was in a band called NTL (Not Like Them) so both him and Nicole Scherzinger have already met one another before. So what made him join the reality-singing competition and what was his favourite past performance? Find out:

What made you decide to want to take part in “The X Factor”?

I feel like most of the things I’ve done have been things I didn’t expect to do, and that sort of scared me. I’ve never been a competitor in something like this. I guess going to auditions is sort of competing, but it doesn’t feel like this. This is a whole different thing. Also, I think the number one reason is because I grew up watching this show, and I think it’s just sort fulfilling some sort of life-long dream I didn’t know I had.

So you’ve been a fan of the show for a long time?

Yeah, I really appreciate that they give someone a chance to put on a proper show; to see them how they would actually be as an artist. So I think that’s what drew me towards it. And also, at the end, when they would bring out singer’s favourite artist and surprise them in the finals, I want that moment!

Do you have a favourite?

Are you kidding? I showed that clip of Alexandra Burke and Beyonce to everyone on the ‘Glee’ set. I showed it to everybody when it happened. I was going on like, “You have to see this.” I’m like, “She’s losing it!” I really am a super fan of ‘The X Factor’ so when they asked me I was like, “Why not?” it’s such a funny, odd thing to get to do. It’s great, it’s combining all the things I love.

How are you feeling about singing for the other judges?

So during ‘Glee’, we performed on ‘The X Factor’ in the UK, and I remember meeting Simon before, and he was super, super nice. The whole illusion of him being really awful, so it had sort of faded for me, but then we were on that stage singing, and I knew we weren’t being judged but I still couldn’t look at him. I was like, “Oh God.” I was really terrified! here was one point where Amber goes up and just belted a note out in his face, and I was like, “Good. Good. Good!” I’m like, “You’re good enough to do that.” So this’ll be hard. It’s also just harder, no matter who it is, singing in an intimate environment. So this whole round, I’m really looking forward to getting over with, and hopefully, I make it on to the live shows.

Simon’s invited lots of industry experts to watch you guys audition, how are you feeling about that?

I think regardless of who it is, to me, it’s more about what is the vibe of the night. So if it is more like a lawn party type of thing, regardless of how terrifying the people are, that, I think, will make me feel a little better. I say that, but I don’t know if that’s how I’ll actually feel. Because I also have terrible nerves.

How was it meeting all the other celebs?

I confessed to Olivia how oddly nervous I was. I didn’t think I would be. It’s like, “You’re just going to go meet people. I can talk to people all day. That’s easy.” But pulling up at X Factor HQ I felt irrationally nervous about it. Also, I think it was the really first step into this whole new journey, and I had nothing else to compare it to. It was more the format of it. It was more nerve wracking than anything else, and luckily, everybody else was super, super nice. Olivia said I seemed really cool and confident, which is hilarious because I had already sweat through my shirt!

What would it mean to you to get to the live shows?

I would just be really, really excited. Really excited to get to do it because then they have a full production to help with your performance, getting to perform like that is the dream. Give me a little pyro and some back-up dancers. I love it all!

If you ask us, there’s nothing we love more than sinking our teeth into a luxuriously creamy piece of tart. There’s something about the amalgamation of the smooth custardy filling and buttery crust that makes us feel like we’re #winning, even if it has been a pretty bumpy day.

Lately, we’ve been feeling like we’re in need of a little luck. And since Anchor Dairy is commemorating its 133rd year of bringing #TrustedGoodness into our homes and tastebuds, we set out to try 7 of the most “legendairy” tarts we could get our hands on:

1. Harold’s Bread‘s Blueberry Cheese Tart

If you’re a fan of tarts that’s got a combination of sweet with a tangy but rich flavours, look no further than a good old blueberry cheese tart. Get yours at any Harold’s Bread outlets today!

2. The Baker’s Cottage‘s Macau Egg Tart

My favourite.. macau egg tart.. 😋😋😋 #thebakerscottage

A post shared by umikalsom (@umisaffiya) on

We are very fond of The Baker’s Cottage for too many reasons to list, but one of the main reasons will always be their Macau Egg Tart. Made with a newly improved recipe, The Baker’s Cottage’s Macau Egg Tarts are creamier, richer and better than ever.

3. Tea Garden Malaysia‘s Portugese Egg Tart

If you’re an egg tart fiend like us, we hope you’re into Portuguese egg tarts. And if you haven’t tried the Portuguese Egg Tarts from Tea Garden Malaysia, we hope you make your way over to have a moment with this sweetheart who’s a little flaky and blistered around the edges and top, but ultimately holds a creamy custard centre.

4. The Rotiman Bakery‘s Hanjyuku Cheese Tart

If there’s one word we’d use to describe The Rotiman Bakery’s Hanjyuku cheese tart, it’d be “comforting”. The Hanjyuku cheese tart at The Rotiman Bakery oozes a good solid, buttery crust and an oozy cheesy centre that spills over into your mouth when you take a big bite.

5. Grainloaf‘s Cheese Tart

The cheese tart at Grainloaf is perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up. Creamy and indulgent with a sturdy shell that helps contain the custardy cheese filling in, it really is no wonder that everyone loves these tarts!

6. Hot Cross Buns‘ Lava Cheese Tart

We’re obsessed with this creamy goodness that is the Lava Cheese Tart at Hot Cross Buns Cafe & Bakery! The combination of the tart’s buttery crust and smooth jiggly centre is always a delight to our senses.

7. Happy Angel’s Karui Chizu Tart

We particularly love the Karui Chizu Tart for two reasons – the melt-in-your-mouth shortbread-esque crust and the smooth molten centre that’s got a subtle hint of saltiness to balance out the flavours. Get yours today at Happy Angel’s Cake House!

나의 소중한 Chat-Shire 4주년 축하해 💜

A post shared by 이지금 (@dlwlrma) on

“Happy 4th anniversary, my precious Chat-Shire,” IU wrote in the caption. In the post, she was pictured kissing a portrait of an art piece that was drawn by the former K-Pop idol.

Back in 2015, IU revealed that one of the track lists from the album titled “Red Queen” was inspired from a drawing that her fellow “Inkigayo” host showed her. In addition, “Chat-Shire” was also her very 1st album that she had fully produced on her own since her debut. The album contained the hit single “Twenty-three”.

The album was released back in 23rd October 2015. Happy 4th birthday “Chat-Shire”! 💜

In case you didn’t know, IU will be touring Kuala Lumpur in December. Concert details here.

Syed Saddiq Responds To Transgender Assistant Allegations

The Minister of Youth & Sports, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman recently shut down all the allegations that he had elected a transgender woman as his personal assistant.

The 26-year-old politician further denied all the rumours as well as the viral video that was circulating around the web. The clip featured a mysterious woman – later known as Cleopatra – meeting Syed Saddiq in his office.

Source: Instagram

“I feel that gossips and slanders are inseparable in the politics world. In this case, someone pointed out that the lady (Cleopatra) is my personal assistant and also my private secretary; that’s obviously a slander. If you want to check then you can proceed and ask the KBS (Ministry of Youths & Sports) officers,” said Syed Saddiq in an interview.

“If you look at the Ministry’s portal, it’s clear that the reports are incorrect,” he further added. In addition, he responded to the controversy surrounding the status of Cleopatra. “I heard the news that the lady is actually a transgender; even some netizens name-called her as ‘pondan’ (transvertite),” commented the young politician.

Syed Saddiq further added, “So I checked with the group and asked if it’s true. I was told that actually the woman came in groups and she wasn’t alone at that time. I was also informed that she is a mother of 2 (biological) children.” He was seen at the parliament lobby yesterday (Tuesday, 22nd October).

Additionally, he took to his Instagram account to express his wish for everyone to put focus on real issues involving Malaysians instead of giving unnecessary attentions to rumours and gossips.

Dalam Dunia Politik,Gosip & Fitnah, berpisah tiada. Sampai isu anak muda yang penting ditenggelamkan kerana gosip. Sekejap dengar dia PA saya (Padahal tidak). Sekejap dengar dia “Pondan” (Padahal seorang ibu). Sekejap dengar dia dapat “kontrak” (Padahal tiada). Can we please focus on REAL RAKYAT ISSUES? JOBS, EDUCATION, COST OF LIVING, AFFORDABLE HOUSING. Ini lah isu anak muda. Fokus kepada isu rakyat, bukan politik fitnah & gosip seperti yang digunapakai page Pro-UMNO, Johor Press.

Robert Pattinson Talks Buffing Up For Batman Body

There’s a lot of pressure for Robert Pattinson heading into production for “The Batman” and one of that includes getting into shape.

During the press tour for his new film, “The Lighthouse”, the 33-year-old actor was asked if he had already began working out a lot to get into superhero shape for his role as Bruce Wayne.

I’m in the early stages,” Pattinson laughed. “Very, very early.” When the female reporter brought up the fact that he wasn’t very fond of exercising, the Brit replied, “I didn’t when I was younger, but now as I have kind of gotten older, I’m slowly getting aware of ageing. So I’m kind of like, ‘I got to put in some effort otherwise I’m going to get hip replacement’.”

In another interview, the A-lister also shared how exercising is now appealing to him in his 30s. “I used to hate working out. In my 30s, I find it very meditative. It’s weird,” he said. “When you feel like someone’s not forcing it on you, and you’re doing it for yourself, it’s a very different experience… I’m weirdly looking forward to it.”

He then added, “The dieting too. I’m an extremist. I’ll eat nothing but pizzas for months so by the time I have to diet my body is like, ‘Thank god. Please only healthy stuff from now.’ … I’ve been bulking.”

Many “Twilight” fans would remember Pattinson’s role as the vampire Edward Cullen in the sage. When shooting takes place, it’ll be approximately a decade since he had to work out in the same sort of capacity. Needless to say, “The Batman” will be more physically-demanding than the “Twilight” series.

Cosmic Book News alleged that the trainer responsible for getting Zachary Levi into shape for “Shazam!” is being considered to train Pattinson for “The Batman”. The English star has already teased that the new Batsuit is “very,very cool”, so we can’t wait to see him kicking butt as the new Dark Knight.

When asked about the iconic Batman voice, Pattinson cite co-star Willem Dafoe in “The Lighthouse” as an inspiration. “It is pretty similar, the voice I’m gonna do, to Willem’s.” He couldn’t have pick a better source of inspiration than Dafoe’s growl.

In talking to BBC, the handsome star also revealed that he’s not approaching this DC superhero like other characters from the small independent films he’s done. “Now that I’m starting to get into it, I don’t want to approach it as kind of a big studio thing where all you’re really doing is thinking about your trailer. I want to approach it in exactly the same way, I want it to be frightening, I want it to be something you lose yourself in,” he said.

Pattinson continued, “I think it’s more difficult to do, because it’s such a familiar character to lots of people, but I think there’s something, I don’t know. If you can find a place, a way to lose yourself in it, then I think it’s really exciting.”

Warner Bros has set 25th June 2021 as the release date for “The Batman”.

THE BOYZ’s Agency Announces Member Hwall’s Departure From The Group

Bad news for fans of K-Pop group THE BOYZ (더보이즈). It was announced that member Hwall (활) has officially left the group.

The 19-year-old idol has been suffering from ankle injury for the past few months since July this year.

The boy band’s home label, Cre.Ker Entertainment recently came out with an official statement that reads:

“Hello, this is Cre.Ker Entertainment. First of all, we would like to thank all of the fans for their endless love and interest they give THE BOYZ. We would like to share some sad news about Hwall.

Hwall had temporarily put to halt all his official activities and album promotions due to his poor ankle injury, and is currently under recovery. We also had in-depth conversations with Hwall and his family about the possibility of future activities.”

After careful consideration, Hwall expressed his intentions to stop his activities, due to various health reasons and psychological burdens. After fully discussing the issue with Hwall and his family, we have decided to respect his intentions.

We are announcing that Hwall has ended his time as a member of THE BOYZ. We are very sorry to announce these news to the fans who have been waiting for his return.  We will continue to provide support for the recovery of Hwall, and support his future course of action.

Even though he will no longer be a member of THE BOYZ, we will continue to cheer on his future, and he will focus on his recovery while still cheering for his group. We ask for your understanding. THE BOYZ will work hard to meet fans soon with better music and promotions. Thank you.”

Following the recent announcement, Hwall also shared a handwritten letter to his fans to address the news. The lengthy post reads:

“Hello~ This is THE BOYZ’s Hwall. To THE B (THE BOYZ fans) whom I sincerely love, I am greeting you through writing as I have something to tell you. I really regret that I can only greet you through writing, but I will put in sincerity into every word.

I am letting you know that I made the decision to conclude activities as THE BOYZ’s Hwall after long and careful deliberation. I was so happy to receive the love of many fans with every performance, and more than anything, I was eager to achieve my dream (of becoming a well-rounded entertainer who is loved around the world), so I received rehab treatment after my leg surgery.

However, it became a great burden on myself to perform on stage in an imperfect state due to various health reasons, and I expressed my desire to halt activities after deliberating for a long time with my family, members, and agency.

I gained so much memories and experiences after meeting many great people including our THE Bs, fellow members, and Cre.Ker family. I wanted to express my sincere gratitude (to them) as I’ve learned so much through these valuable relationships.

To fellow THE Bs whom I cherish and love so much, thank you so much for always being my strength when I’m having a difficult or tiring time, and for giving me so much love. You must have waited for a long time, so I feel really apologetic to deliver this news. And our members of The Boyz who always supported and comforted me by my side like brothers, I am so sorry to not be able to go with you until the end. I will continue cheering them on, so please continue supporting and loving THE BOYZ.

I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has sincerely supported and given lots of love to me while I was promoting. I promise to always be with all of you who I love and am grateful for, and I will work harder and grow better, not as THE BOYZ’s Hwall, but as Heo Hyun Jun from now on. I’m sorry…and along with sad feelings as I conclude this letter, once again I would like to sincerely thank you.

– From Hyun Jun who admires and loves fans.”

The 12-member band will be celebrating their 2nd debut anniversary this year. They made their 1st appearance as a group back in December 2017 with the single “Boy”.

Sending our biggest loves and supports to Hwall. Best of luck for his future endeavours ahead.
