Although Lee Joon had previously joined the cast of upcoming new movie 'Botox,' he has now decided to leave the project due to his prioritized commitment to MBLAQ.

His agency J.Tune Camp told OSEN on December 5, "Due to the schedule for album preparations, Lee Joon has left 'Botox' . . . Originally, he planned to finish filming 'Botox' in December and then promote music in January.  However, the filming kept getting delayed so he ended up leaving . . . We had no choice; the filming kept being pushed back but music promotions had already been scheduled.  That was the condition on which he decided to be in 'Botox' so he naturally came to leave the project.  He received many scenarios after 'Rough Play.'  We are going to meetings and carefully choosing the next project . . . Currently, he has to prepare for a concert in Japan and prepare for the album."
