MBK Entertainment has released videos of its artists Nam Do Hyon and Lee Han Gyul addressing the disbandment of X1 on January 6.

Nam Do Hyon stated in his video, “Hello, this is Nam Do Hyon. First off, I want to apologize to those who must have been very surprised when they found out the news. I learned a lot while promoting, and I was really happy to have received so much love. I will never forget the precious experiences I had as X1. I sincerely thank the members of X1 and our staff, and I sincerely thank the Oneits who have always supported us. I’ll try hard so that I can show a good side of myself as soon as possible. Also to Swing Entertainment, you’ve worked hard and thank you. Thank you.”

Lee Han Gyul said, “Hello, this is Lee Han Gyul. I want to say that I’m really sorry to everyone who found out about this through the news and must have been very surprised. I learned a lot and experienced a lot while doing the program, and I met a lot of great people, so I was happy. And I will never forget the love that you gave me. I think the fact that I was able to experience such a happy time was possible because of the X1 members and Oneit. I’ve been so grateful. And thank you to Swing Entertainment who worked hard for us. Many things have happened, but I will try to return and show a good side of myself soon. Thank you.”

X1 was formed by “Produce X 101” in 2019 and debuted in August. Following a controversy over vote manipulation by the show’s producers, the group disbanded on January 6.
