Even after his initial conviction, the former member continued to work as an idol, but has been absent recently.
On December 5, that changed when the idol’s X account suddenly became active, sharing a now-deleted tweet explaining his account’s name change. The tweet also said that he wasn’t BAP and that he hated BAP
Another tweet from the former idol contained an image of a firework exploding along with the message that “BAP is over.” While the tweets were thought to have been made by a hacker, Himchan apparently also posted a new photo of himself on the account.
The account was also deleted, with no explanation for the sudden outburst.
Meanwhile, the active members of BAP will release a special Christmas album on December 18th.
