The agency mentioned that the reason for RONI's exit was “personal” and did not share any more details. This led to open-ended questions and speculation online regarding the group’s future."I wish RONI nothing but the best" - XEED Fans react to artist's departurelou hyped for 8TURNs debut|| multi fan account@zenithskiiwhat is going on with xeed rn im losing my mind im so scared they literally just debuted i hope this doesn't mean what i think it does9what is going on with xeed rn im losing my mind im so scared they literally just debuted i hope this doesn't mean what i think it doesRONI's departure has left the Dream Land group's fandom shocked. Considering the group only debuted on December 1, 2022, a member's contract termination in mid-January was not something fans anticipated.While some fans spoke about the suddenness of the news and tried to figure out the reason behind RONI’s exit, others respected his decision to leave. Individuals were also upset with the agency for deleting the former member’s posts from their social media accounts. Expressing their disappointment, Twitter user @jaehwanismm wrote:“The way they deleted everything related to RONI like he just didn’t exist in the first place is f**king FOUL. He literally practiced so hard for them just to pretend like he doesn’t exist at all???”Others wished the artist "nothing but the best" in whatever he plans on doing next.cindy 🌱 || XEED ♡@baoxeedseven though it was a short period of time, xeed has become one the groups i cherish and it nice getting to know about roni. i wish Roni nothing but the best with his future 15662even though it was a short period of time, xeed has become one the groups i cherish and it nice getting to know about roni. i wish Roni nothing but the best with his future 💚🌱 https://t.co/KTeUhLJPS8Another Twitter user asked fellow fans who have fan calls scheduled with the band group not to ask them about RONI.Mel 🌱@MissKuchieAnyone that has video calls with XEED, do NOT ask them what happened.9234Anyone that has video calls with XEED, do NOT ask them what happened.mickey ⁷@trueailin@MissKuchie I agree lets not put unnecessary pressure on them.

The group created a lot of buzz last month when K-pop fans reacted positively to it consisting of members aged over 25 years.This was because the recent trend in the K-pop industry has been of debuting teenagers, with even the eldest members barely crossing 20 years of age.However, the Dream Land singers seem to be going through some troubling times. The official statement released through the agency reads as follows:“Hello, This is Nature Space Entertainment. RONI, who has worked together as a member of XEED, will leave the group and cancel his exclusive contract with our company due to personal reasons.”It continues:“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to the fans by the disappointing news. As a result, the rest of XEED’s officially scheduled activities will continue as a 3 member team. The 3 members will continue to grow and mature, so we ask for everyone’s many support. Once again, we sincerely apologize to the fans for the sudden announcement. Thank you."Meanwhile, XEED now consists of DOHA, BAO, and JAEMIN. DOHA, the group’s leader, will turn 31 years old in March this year, BAO will turn 27 in May, and JAEMIN, who’s the maknae, will also turn 27 years old in June.
