However, Yong Jun-hyung was called out at the center of controversies in March 2019 as he admitted to having seen illegal videos shared by Jung Joon-young in the so-called “Jung Joon-young’s chatroom” incident. At that time, he apologized, “It’s also my fault that I did not realize the criminal act and firmly stop it”.

Due to this incident, Yong Jun-hyung announced his withdrawal from HIGHLIGHT and stopped all activities. After enlisting in the military on April 2nd, 2019, he was discharged in February this year.

Attention is focused on what kind of music Yong Jun-hyung, who is working hard to prepare for his comeback after 4 years, will present with his new album.
