Immediately following the announcement of Lee Joon's departure from MBLAQ, it has just been announced that fellow member Thunder will also be pursuing a path outside of the group.
With the expiry of his contract, Thunder has reportedly decided that he will no longer be active with the group.
It seems that Thunder will instead be pursuing a career as a solo singer.
J.Tune Camp still has not made a statement regarding the departure of either member.

G.O Writes Passive-Aggressive Tweets Following Announcement of Lee Joon's Departure from MBLAQ
It was just announced that MBLAQ member Lee Joon would be leaving the group to pursue his career in acting, and fellow member G.O seems to be unhappy about it.
G.O posted to his personal Twitter, "In the end, self-interest wins out over caring."
G.O has just posted another Tweet saying, "Those who know, know everything. For now, please trust as you see fit, because as time goes by you'll find out."
The tweet seems a bit suspicious, leaving most wondering whether Lee Joon's departure from the group was on good terms.

UPDATE: J.Tune Camp Makes Official Statement Regarding Lee Joon's Departure from MBLAQ and Future of the Group
J.Tune Camp has just made a statement regarding the reports of Lee Joon and Thunder's departure from the group MBLAQ.
The J.Tune representative stated, "It has not been decided if MBLAQ will be dismantled with Lee Joon's departure. We are currently in the midst of discussing it."
The representative continued to state, "The plan is for Lee Joon to participate in all of the scheduled activities up to the end of November, including the MBLAQ concert. With the utmost consideration and respect for the opinions of the remaining members of MBLAQ, we will come to an official position together."
The J.Tune Camp representative concluded the statement by saying, "We will of course try our best for the sake of MBLAQ."
UPDATE: MBLAQ to Release Final Album at End of November
A rep from J.Tune camp has spoken with Newsen and various other news outlets, saying that both Lee Joon and Thunder are in discussions with the agency regarding their future with MBLAQ: “Lee Joon, as well as Thunder, are in discussions regarding departure from group.”
Since it released an official statement about reports on Lee Joon’s departure so closely to breaking news about Thunder’s departure, it does not seem the agency will release an official statement specifically on Thunder and will suffice with interviews to local news agency.
Meanwhile, MyDaily reports that according to the music industry insiders, MBLAQ will release a final album near the end of November and each member will go their separate way, cultivating their own individual talents.

Good Luck to his future endeavors!
