Gunil, through his lawyer, has spoken out again about his departure from Xdinary Heroes. This time, he emphasized that he had no choice but to leave the group.
In an official statement released on Thursday (August 20, 2026), lawyer Sung Jae Hwan from Joowon Law Firm said that his client did not leave the group of his own free will. Not only that, Gunil was also said to have never agreed to the termination of her exclusive contract.
So, this was a unilateral move by JYP Entertainment management. "He deeply regrets the situation the members are experiencing, which was affected through no fault of his own.
He is concerned that the difficulties the entire team has experienced are due to his own negligence. Gunil has already apologized directly to them," the lawyer said. "Regarding her agency, Gunil did not leave on her own accord. Nor did she agree to terminate her exclusive contract.
We do not believe there is a valid reason for contract termination in this case. However, to avoid further distress for fans, she is acting in good faith and intends to continue discussions with the agency," Sung Jae Hwan emphasized.
Regarding the possibility of further litigation with the person who distributed the audio recording, Gunil's lawyer confirmed there would be no legal action. Gunil decided to stop here and asked fans to accept the sincerity of his statement.
In conclusion, Gunil's attorney again apologized to the Villains and the members of Xdinary Heroes, especially since the commotion caused the group to cancel several events and important moments in their career.
"Gunil has been preparing for Summer Sonic 2026 for a long time, treating the stage as a promise he made to his fans. He tried to perform until the very last moment, but was unable to do so. He deeply regrets not being able to meet his fans there.
He regrets causing sadness to his fans, which is what weighs the most on him. Once again, our client offers his sincerest apologies," Sung Jae Hwan concluded. JYP Entertainment announced Gunil's departure from Xdinary Heroes on Thursday (August 13, 2026).
Gunil was reportedly romantically involved with a woman. A recording of their phone call was later leaked online.In the circulating recording, Gunil made harsh remarks about fans. After her decision to leave the group, Gunil finally spoke out and apologized.
He didn't deny the romantic relationship or the circulating phone recording. Gunil confirmed that it was indeed his voice. "I did make inappropriate remarks about fans in the phone call that has been circulating.
Whatever my reasons at the time (for saying those things) do not change the fact that those words came from me. I sincerely apologize to those who were disappointed and offended by my words," Gunil said in his personal statement.
