VIXX is preparing for new music, but a key member will not be participating in their latest effort. It has just been confirmed that the idol group is set for a 3-member comeback without N who will sit out upcoming activities. Since then, Cha Hakyeon has shared a handwritten letter explaining his decision to sit out the comeback.

VIXX Preparing for 3-Member Comeback with ‘Continuum’

Jellyfish Entertainment has made a significant announcement regarding VIXX’s upcoming mini album, ‘Continuum,’ which is set to be released on November 21 at 6 PM KST. To celebrate the upcoming release, the agency shared a teaser for the new EP. The album is highly anticipated as it marks VIXX’s first new album in four years since their 2019 release, ‘PARALLEL.’

However, what makes this release unique is that it will be a 3-member comeback with Ken, Hyuk, and Leo. Jellyfish Entertainment did not provide an explanation for the absence of other members, and notably, N has not officially departed from the group.

Luckily, N himself explained the decision in a handwritten letter shared on social media.

“I’m sorry that I couldn’t participate in the activities for this album so I can’t greet you on stage,” he continued. “I’ve been talking and discussing with the members for a long time, but in the end, I was unable to participate in this activity as a VIXX leader N, and I’m sorry to disappoint the fans once again.“

Why Did N Decide Against Joining the VIXX Comeback?

N’s agency 51K confirmed that the VIXX leader had a scheduling conflict with his drama filming. They confirmed that Cha Hakyeon had decided to sit out the comeback after a thorough discussion with the members.

The revelation has left fans curious about the direction that VIXX’s music and concept will take with three members at the forefront. The absence of an important member has also sparked discussions and speculations within the fandom regarding the dynamics and style of the group’s upcoming release.

As the release date approaches, STARLIGHTs eagerly await more details and teasers to get a glimpse of what ‘Continuum’ has in store, hoping to witness the unique musical journey these three talented members will embark upon while keeping the spirit of VIXX alive.
