On September 2nd, it was announced that she would begin her mandatory service as a social worker on the 26th. And while this wasn’t entirely unexpected given her age, the announcement came after several months of inactivity on her official pages.

In response, one fan detailed other instances of alleged mistreatment by BPM, including inactivity.

Furthermore Appointment being his only release in his two years under the agency, BPM has reportedly neglected to maintain his online presence. In particular, Ren’s Spotify account appears to have been taken over by another singer, who has altered his official profile and music.
