It looks like KickFlip will continue to perform as a six-member group, as it was revealed that Amaru will not be resuming activities for the time being.
The news was confirmed by JYP Entertainment on 1 September, saying, “Amaru has decided to continue treatment and rest for a more stable recovery of his health. After discussions with him and the members, future activities, including the new album, are scheduled to proceed with six members: Kyehoon, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju, and Donghyeon.”
They added, “We sincerely ask for your understanding regarding this decision, which was made with the artiste’s health recovery as our top priority. We will closely monitor Amaru’s progress and inform you of any future changes.”
Amaru announced a hiatus from activities last September due to symptoms of psychological anxiety and other health-related concerns. Since then, KickFlip promoted their mini-albums as a six-member group.
The group, which made their debut in January last year, most recently promoted their fourth mini-album, “My First Kick” in April.
