SEE ALSO: KARA announces official Japan tour dates for 2025

B2ST fans expressed disappointment at the singer's absence at the Seoul grand fan meet which was held this past Saturday, saying, "I came to see Hyunseung but he didn't come." The fan meet in question was held for Japanese fans in particular. It was a special event created for fans who trekked the distance to see their favorites group; alas, many were dejected that they didn't get to meet all six members of B2ST. 

Hyunseung's absence wasn't announced prior to the fan meet. It was disclosed to the audience who attended the fan meet Saturday. During the time of the event, an Instagram post of Hyunseung at a cafe in Seoul's Cheongdamdong area is causing an outrage, especially as the picture shows him with a woman. 

Cube Entertainment told Kukmin Ilbo via phone call, "Hyunseung was absent for the fan meet due to personal reasons. The absence was announced to the fans at the event." 

Regarding the photo of the singer at the cafe, the label has yet to provide a sure explanation. Cube stated, "We don't know the exact circumstances behind the photo or when the photo was taken. We need to double check [the situation behind the picture]."
