LEDApple is no more - Welcome to LedT (if anyone still cares)!!! OP is still crying.

The Korean male band currently known as LEDApple will soon be making their transformation as a newly named group, LedT.
The past year has been undoubtedly a hard one for LEDAs (LEDApple fans) as members left and new ones were introduced.
In October 2014, an announcement was made to fans that a lineup change would occur following the end of the December 2014 concerts in Japan with Hanbyul, Kyumin, and Kwangyeon leaving while members Youngjun and Hyoseok would remain.

In January 2015, LEDApple welcomed Hyunsang and Kyosung with Kyumin revealed to be continuing with the group instead of following his own solo career into hip-hop music as previously revealed just months before, bringing the group back up to five members.
But just days afterwards when a new four-member group image was published, the agency revealed that new member Hyunsang was unable to participate in activities as his throat was unwell and needed medical treatment. Additionally, new stage names for each members were revealed: JUN (Youngjun), AKi (Hyoseok), Kei (Kyumin), and Kyo(Kyosung).
However, the group would undergo another lineup change when Kyosung would end his six-months as a member of LEDApple and left the group at the end of June 2015.
On August 16th, a header was updated to their Facebook page reading, “We will newlly start as ‘LedT’ from September 1, 2015.”
Fans have posted their shock as the name change, commenting that they will miss LEDApple but will continue to support the group as LedT. All posts made on the page regarding LEDApple between 2013 and August 2015 have been deleted as they prepare for a new start.
LedT consists of members Kei (Kyumin) as the vocalist and keytarist, JUN (Youngjun) as the vocalist and guitarist, and AKi (Hyoseok) as the rapper and drummer.

Facebook, Twitter, Official Site & Instagram for those who still want to follow them. ;_; I am so emotionally invested in them I can't back out now. I love them too much. I was so sad when Hanbyul & Kwangyeon left, but now they've deleted all the videos too, sooo... TT_TT . At least Hyoseok & Youngjun get to sing too. I like their voices more than Kyumin's. :-/

Isn't that Kyumin singing the new version of Run to You though???

The instrumentalists in LEDApple are talented, I wish them the best... though as an intrumentalist no one really knows who you are... they got a bum deal.

What has Hanbyul been doing with himself, anyway?

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he sings it. He's the main vocalist now. :-/ The other two get the smaller/rap parts.
Hanbyul is really active on FB and Instagram. :)) I'd like to know too if he's working or smth.
At least I know he met with Keon Woo and they both seemed happy!

Oh duh, I can't read, the press release says he's CONTINUING with the group and NOT leaving, lol.

Kyumin was always my favorite, so I guess I'll continue to follow them in posts on here *shrug emoji*

I went to see them last month. As a 3 member group they've been having regular mini-lives in Japan for a while now. The live I went to was the first time they announced the name change and the whole audience was a bit 0.o They're still really good as 3 member group though!!! Really comfortable on stage and with each other. I'm glad I went!!!

deleting all of their old videos and pretending they didnt exist is a great way of making old fans dislike the new band

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

pm this. idky they'd do that

[dc222.livejournal.com]

They deleted all their old stuff? =(

I'm glad that they'll still be continuing on. But the Someone Met By Chance/Time's Up/Run To You Era of LEDApple is still my fave and definitely my perfect member line-up.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

I don't think Kyumin's vocals are strong enough to really get them anywhere tbh, as proven by that Run to You cover which I hate to say (I used to stan them soooo hard) sounded AWFUL.

good lord and i thought 9m fans had it bad
idk how this will go for them....

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

LEDApple basically lost 11 members since their debut in 2010, sooo... :(

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

WTF D:

I've had to adjust to changes with them so many times these years what's another change? My bias is still there so I'm holding on. They deleted/made private ALL the prior videos on their youtube channel though. I should be like some friends and download everything rather than assume it will stay around. I'm really sad I don't have any of that old stuff now.

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

They didn't delete just the videos. :( They got rid of their FB posts and Tweets too. Heh~! I'm happy I managed to save 5 or 6 videos (although I have a whole bunch from one of their concerts last year). :-/ I wish they kept at least the Music Notes or smth.

[dubukat.livejournal.com]

fuck all. :( I wonder if it was a legal thing or what?

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

I just think they made so many changes that the name no longer had a meaning or smth and they decided to have a fresh start without being tied to any of the previous members. Like... it must have been really hard to start a new youtube/facebook/twitter I guess... >.<

[dubukat.livejournal.com]

I mentioned to my husband they should have just made new ones to which he said "No way and lose all those followers?!" Makes sense.

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a really valid point. :-/ Didn't think about it until now. ^^

[dubukat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but still annoying. I wish they could just achieve somehow and it would be like it's fresh, but we don't lose all the old stuff.

I think Kyumin's voice suits broody songs like his solo here:
