POCKETDOL STUDIO
In a prelude to the impending debut of the highly-anticipated boy band Fantasy Boys, a poignant episode unfolds as one of its members, Soul, journeys to China to be by his grandparents' side due to health concerns, the band's agency, Pocketdol Studio, revealed on Thursday.
Expressing deep empathy for his family's circumstances, Pocketdol Studio shared that Soul, driven by a profound bond with his loved ones, made an urgent trip to China. The agency assured fans that Soul's absence is temporary, and he is expected to rejoin the band, revitalized and with a clearer state of mind, in the near future.
The countdown to the official debut of Fantasy Boys on September 21 continues, with the release of their first album, "New Tomorrow," on the horizon.
Assembled from the ranks of triumphant contestants who emerged victorious in MBC's audition program bearing the same name, the 11-member ensemble embodies a convergence of remarkable talents nurtured on the stage of this highly competitive show. The program, which aired from March to June, showcased a galaxy of budding stars, with the winners chosen to form the core of Fantasy Boys.
The lineup for the band is set to feature Kim Gyu-rae, Hong Sung-min, Oh Hyeon-tae, Lee Han-bin, Ling Qi, Kang Min-seo, Hikari, Soul, Kim Woo-seok, Hikaru, and Kaedan. However, the intricacies of artist-agency dynamics have woven an intriguing twist into the narrative.
Amidst the excitement of the debut journey, the spotlight also falls on Yu Jun-won, the victor of the show, who will not partake in the band's debut. Disagreements between Yu and the agency have steered his path away from the collective journey of Fantasy Boys, infusing a layer of complexity to the group's formation.
Prior to the grand debut showcase on September 21, a special performance is poised to captivate audiences, offering a tantalizing preview of what lies ahead.
As Fantasy Boys stands at the precipice of a new chapter, Soul's temporary departure casts a poignant reflection on the delicate balance between personal and professional commitments that artists often grapple with. Amidst the anticipation, the story of Fantasy Boys - a mosaic of individual dreams and collective aspirations - unfurls, beckoning fans and enthusiasts alike to embrace the upcoming musical journey.
