Hello

This is JYP Entertainment.

We would like to relay our position about trainee Yoon Seobin.

JYP Entertainment has decided to terminate our trainee contract with Yoon Seobin, who was appearing on Mnet’s Produce X 101 as we believe he did not behave in line with company policy. As a result, we are also announcing he will leave the program.

Mnet has also confirmed this, and plan on editing him out to the best of their ability on future episodes that have already been recorded.

Yoon Seobin will drop out of Produce X 101. We plan on minimizing Yoon Seobin’s exposure on the episodes that have already been filmed so the other trainees who appeared together with him will not be put at a disadvantage.
