[Edaily Reporter YUN GI BACK ] Kim Gun-woo, who has temporarily suspended activities with the group Alpha Drive One, has entered into a legal dispute with his agency, Wake One. Following the suspension of his activities due to controversy over inappropriate remarks and behavior that arose early in his career, this new dispute over his exclusive contract has further clouded his future prospects.

According to entertainment industry sources on the 25th, Kim Gun-woo recently filed a lawsuit against Wake One seeking confirmation of the validity and status of his exclusive contract. It is believed he filed the lawsuit after his repeated expressions of intent to return to the group were not accepted.
A Wake One representative told Edaily, “As this matter is currently undergoing legal proceedings, we ask for your understanding as we are unable to comment on specific details,” choosing their words carefully.
Kim Gun-woo debuted as a member of Alpha Drive One last January. He was embroiled in controversy last April when it was belatedly revealed that he had expressed dissatisfaction using inappropriate language on a content filming set. At the time, it was reported that he was unaware his microphone was on.
Following the controversy, Kim Gun-woo temporarily suspended his group activities. Alpha Drive One is currently continuing its activities as a seven-member group, excluding him.
