T-Max’s Disbandment and Future Activity
The issue of disbandment often hits boy groups in South Korea. Sometimes, it’s just gossip, and sometimes, gossip becomes fact. This time, it was the T-Max group that was hit by this problem. The news of the split of T-Max blew hard after one of its members, Park Yun-hwa, stated that he had stopped activities with the group which debuted in 2007. Park Yun-hwa, the youngest member of the group T-Max, left the team to enlist in the military on May 5, 2010. Park Yun-hwa posted on the official fan cafe of T-Max and expressed his feelings regarding the withdrawal. After debuting with the single album Blooming in 2007, Park Yun-hwa was a member of the group with T-Max’s Shin Min-chul and Kim Joon for 3 years and wrote hit songs such as “I Love You,” “Why Did You Do That,” “Paradise,” and “Once Upon a Time.” Park Yun-hwa said, “I couldn’t participate in the regular T-Max album. Rather than personal circumstances, as you all know, I was called by the nation as a Korean man. I had a lot of work to organize myself, so maybe I had to say hi a little bit quickly.” He continued, “I’ve worked hard to prepare, and there are many things I haven’t been able to show you yet, but I’m really sorry to greet you like this. This decision was made after much consideration and thought, so I hope everyone will understand.” He also expressed his strong affection for T-Max, whom he had been living with for three years, saying, “Even if you cannot be with the members, please love and support T-Max.” At the end, Park Yun-hwa said, “When I come back, I will greet you on stage in a way that will surprise you as well.” Planet 905, T-Max’s agency, said, “Even though Park Yun-hwa has some time left before enlistment, he has expressed his intention to leave because he does not want to cause damage to the members who will be promoting full-length albums due to his military problems. T-Max did it together since the very beginning, but we respected Yunhwa’s opinion and didn’t participate in the full album.” Park Yun-hwa realized that his departure would surely surprise many. Moreover, after successfully filling the soundtrack album for the Boys Over Flowers series, the name T-Max also soared. The group activities, which were strengthened by the presence of Kim Joon in it, were also busy. The agency announced that they plan to start promoting the full-length album to be released in May 2010 as a four-member group with a prospect to fill in the vacancy of Park Yun-hwa. The spokesman for T-Max confirmed that Park Yun-hwa’s departure from T-Max was nothing but fulfilling his obligations as a citizen, and there was absolutely no personal problem between them. Meanwhile, the management looked for temporary replacement personnel to replace Park Yoon Hwa’s position in T-Max’s various stage activities. Moreover, the following month, T-Max’s activities would certainly be crowded after they released their latest album. In the lapse of time, T-Max had several times dismantled personnel before officially disbanding. T-Max consisted of Kim Joon, Joo Chan-yang, Park Han-bi, and Shin Min-chul. After Kim Joon was enlisted in the military at the end of September 2011, the group had denied rumors that they would disband with the release of the single “She’s Crying” that was released in 2011. But, the effort was in vain because two of its personnel, Chan-yang and Min-chul, were no longer under the agency’s auspices. T-Max finally made their decision to disband this group. According to the agency, Shin Min-chul’s contract had expired, coinciding with Kim Joon’s military service. Meanwhile, Joo Chan-yang’s contract was also about to expire, but he didn’t renew it. The only member who was still under contract was Park Han-bi.

The two members of T-Max formed an unofficial sub-unit, 2Max, since they were two of T-Max’s members.
