No More Original Members in Xing!

















People are starting to relax now over the Suju controversy, and when I mean people I am talking about E.L.F the Super Junior fan base. Now that Mr. SM has said that the new members of the Suju family are not going to be added to the original group, but will make up a new group called Super Junior M with new and old members. All the elves can now rejoice in happiness over their little bit of victory, but this situation could have been far worse.

Take a look at what is happening to Xing(Cross In The Genre) and what their fan base is going through…..that as if they have a fan base.


In recent days news of another member of Xing has left the group—Kevin the young, cute, and the English speaking member of the group has decided to leave the group and left a message to fans.



“For those who don’t know already, I am no longer a XING member.
I have decided to go my own direction to fulfill my dreams.
I’m very sorry but I am also thankful for all of the support and love you have given me along the way.
There are so many things I have learned and experienced.
I hope that you will be able to accept my decision.
I would like to think of this as a beginning rather than an end.
Remember that I will always try my best.
Thank You and I love you”~ ^^
This departure news of a member leaving is nothing new to this group, but Kevin was the last original member to leave the group.







On July 14, 2007 Marumir aka Kim Kimbum (not the SuJu Member; but the brother of SS501 member Kim Hyung Joon) left the group stating that “he wanted to pursue a different future for himself, as his aspirations had changed since joining Xing”-soompi












On December 6, 2007 another original member Cheon Hye Sung left the group, but with no statement from him or Xing Entertainment was ever given out.





















On January 12 a third original member Yume(Kim Young Kyung) decided to leave making a diary announcement to his fans. A lot of fans refused to believe that another member was leaving the group, but of course they came to find out that it was true.

While fans were waiting for confirmation of the news that Yume had indeed left the group fans were hit with the announcement on January 13 that Poppin’ Dragon (one of the replacing members after Marumir departures) was also leaving the group.

History of Xing

In December 2006 Xing was formed and labeled as a capella quartet and consisted of a four member group.

Kevin
Yume
Marumir (brother of SS501 member Kim Hyung Joon)
Cheon Hye Sung

They released their first single in December 13, 2006 which was a soft ballad. After the release of their first single it was announced that two more members would be added– Poppin’ Dragon and Zen (as secret weapons *rolling eyes in head*) but were not officially added as members. With the new additions of members the road to stardom for Xing seemed like it wasn’t working, especially since the group didn’t participate in any major music programs. Xing Entertainment promoted their group also named Xing by releasing singles and MVs, doing photo shoots for magazines and held a concert that the Xing Entertainment produced them selves. This left fans filling less than satisfied because they couldn’t see their favorite boy band whom they felt had talent, but was not being marketed like other entertainment companies where promoting their stars.

Fans weren’t the only ones dissatisfied with that kind of arrangement that in July 14, 2007 Marumir left the group stating “he wanted to pursue a different future for himself, as his aspirations had changed since joining Xing”-soompi. Many fans were very upset of the news of his departure, and many wonder if Xing would go on since many felt that their popularity was mostly due to the fact that Marumir is the younger brother of SS501 member Kim Hyung Joon.

With the departure of Marumir, Poppin’ Dragon and Zen where than added as official members of the group. Xing Entertainment started than to promote Xing as a five member group and released the second single “My Girl”.
