For the general mess around Cube read here & here

Cube Entertainment’s co-founder and chairman Hong Seung Sung has announced that he is leaving the agency.

On the afternoon of July 22, Hong Seung Sung released an official statement via social media about his departure. In his statement, he writes that he sincerely thanks all of those who have showed so much love over the years. After expressing how happy he has been while working at the company, even during his recent illness, he says he feels sorry for leaving without being able to fix all of the company’s problems first.

Hong Seung Sung also asks everyone to continue to support Cube Entertainment’s artists, and thanks the agency’s artists, staff, and the Cube Entertainment family.

Hong Seung Sung was previously the president of JYP Entertainment before forming the agency that would become Cube Entertainment with Shin Jung Hwa back in 2006. Cube Entertainment currently houses BEAST, BTOB, CLC, HyunA, the pre-debut group PENTAGON, and more.

Literally, jumping off a sinking ship.

But didn't the ship started to sink when he wasn't able/there to "navigate? I would prob do the same if somebody else caused the trouble and I was sick and too tired to fight with a current CEO.

Idk were the ship started to sink, and I don't think anyone here knows.

But since he jumped, now he could use a door.

As they say, art imitates life. The Good Wife just had an episode that was very much in line with the Yoochun scandal.
That just gave me chills.

It's sad what's happening to Cube. Looks like it's over for them. I thought that Pentagon could help them but my friend said 15 people were at their showcase in Seoul, they'll need a good song to succeed.

What a mess

[yixingsforehead.livejournal.com]

the good: he can take time to rest, less drama
the bad: that the ship is sinking still, it's quite some talent there that i wish jumped ship

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

it's crazy how just a couple of years ago people were suggesting cube should/will take jyp's spot as one in the big 3. look at how much has changed for both of them.

[22-taken.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Honestly I didn't believe JYP could ever be on top again and they proved me wrong.

[frankoceans.livejournal.com]

if i recall correctly he suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and i can't believe are people really mad that he left his faves in a sinking ship~ when he probably has a hard time carrying a normal life already
