H Musical entertainment confirmed Jo’s departure in a short statement, revealing that he had taken a break due to health issues. After much discussion, both Jo and the company agreed that it was best for him to resign from the group.
“Hi, I’m H Music Entertainment.
We would like to inform you about the future activities of DXMON and member JO.

Despite the statement, fans are furious with the company’s handling of the situation.
Jo stopped activities due to health complications over 3 months ago. Many fans are upset that H Music kept Jo’s health condition under wraps during that time, leaving fans in the dark. Furthermore, the announcement of his departure was initially only shared in the group’s exclusive fan café, making it inaccessible to many fans.

I disagree but does anyone else find it strange when companies announce this type of shit on Fancafe, an area not all fans can access https://t.co/GqoHx5AcKA

To those upset that Jo left DXMON, just know that it was her choice. Yes, the company should have updated us sooner. However, it’s obvious that they tried to bring him back and he just doesn’t want to continue this journey and that’s okay. His happiness and health are what matters most.
