LAPONE Entertainment has officially announced that Tsurubo Shion will conclude his activities as a member of JO1 on December 31, coinciding with the expiration of his exclusive management contract.
Tsurubo had previously suspended his activities following reports regarding his involvement in online gambling. During his hiatus, he, the remaining members, and LAPONE Entertainment engaged in multiple discussions concerning the possibility of his return to group activities.
After careful consideration, Tsurubo ultimately decided to request the termination of his contract and conclude all ongoing activities. The decision was reached after a period of deliberation involving both the agency and the group members.
With the end of his contract approaching, the agency expressed appreciation for the support shown to Tsurubo and JO1, and requested continued understanding from fans as the group moves forward.
