The news arrives amid growing anticipation for YOUNITE’s potential participation in “Road to Kingdom 2.” Rumors have been circulating about the possible lineup for the show, with several boy groups, including CRAVITY, xikers, THE NEW SIX, 8TURN, ATBO, and TEMPEST, reportedly being considered alongside YOUNITE. Despite these speculations, there have been no official confirmations from either the agencies of these groups or Mnet, the show’s broadcaster, leaving fans in suspense.

Fans are hopeful that Hyunseung will be able to return to the group soon, fully rested and ready to contribute to their future endeavors.

While the current situation is challenging, YOUNITE’s fans remain optimistic about the group’s future. The possibility of participating in “Road to Kingdom 2” and other upcoming projects offers a beacon of hope and excitement for both the group and their supporters.
