This isn't the first time I've heard that members from LEDApple was going to change...AGAIN
and this would probably be either the 3rd or 4th time (maybe 5th or 6th but I could possibly be wrong)
BUT its been happening since they debuted back in mid autumn of 2010.
Even though I haven't been one of those hardcore fans of the group though I've kept myself updated because I see potential in the group.
But to think they'd finally stop changing the members was what I guess somewhat of an understatement after the record LEDApple has had and what almost feels like constant member changing almost every 6 months. From mostly medical reasons to pursuing a different path in their career of being a singer/rapper/composer etc., and personal reasons. But I find that I always had the odd feeling they'd change again even with Hanbyul (along side with Keon U who left after "Run to You" promotions) begin the last 'new member' they had for a good solid 3 years straight
The members that have left the group are and not in specific order: Sung Hyun, Min Yong, Jae Hoon, I-OH, and Keon U.
Many whom I've seen along side with the only constant and long running member since LEDApple's debut in 2010 till today who is JUN.
I feel sorry for him having to see many members come and go through the period of 5 years even more so before even having debut.
But I guess all good things have to come to an end: Hanbyul leaves wanting to pursue a solo career, Kyumin leaves wanting to pursue and focus on hip-hip and Kwangyeon leaves due to lower back pains. And by leave I mean by taking a HIATUS from being with/doing band promotions, and not completely leaving.
AND LIKE ALL MUSIC SOME OF THEIR TITLE TRACKS SHOULD BE GIVEN A LISTEN

LEDApple recently celebrated their 4th anniversary on October 7th. For supporting, cheering and staying by their sides, thank you. Coming December 2014, LEDApple will have their last live tour, 'Thank You LEDA,' and Hanbyul, Kyumin and Kwangyeon will halt their activities as band members. Youngjun and Hyoseok will continue as a new LEDApple with three additional members that will join them in 2015. But this does not mean Hanbyul, Kyumin and Kwangyeon are quitting as part of the LEDApple team, they are planning to continue achieving their dreams through projects.
As part of the LEDApple team, Hanbyul will take a leap forward into activities as a solo singer, Kyumin will start unit activities singing hip-hop, a genre he loves.
For Kwangyeon, there is difficulties for him to continue stage activities as there is a possibility that his lower back pains will worsen, and the doctors have recommended a temporary long-term rest and treatment.
The agency has thought a lot about this and held several meetings, and as the LEDApple members recently celebrated their 4th anniversary, they have come to a conclusion to spread the activities of the members individually. Even individually and to reach the most happiness, the company would like to respect what the members would like to do. Although their activities as a five member band will stop, three members will be welcomed into LEDApple along with Youngjun and Hyoseok, and we promise to show you a better looking LEDApple that will continue on in 2015.
And to pursue better music, or in the case of some band members, their health, please look forward to [LEDApple's] new activities with the three new members with unchanging support. For the sudden announcement, we’d like to apologize from the bottom of our hearts for worrying fans. Before the activities begin for the new LEDApple, the current LEDApple members will be performing all of their nine performances in December, and we promise to show you their best appearance to fans. Starting from 2015, please expect activities from the new LEDApple.
Please note that due to the lineup change, we would like to inform you that the album scheduled to be released at the end of the year has been postponed. To everyone who was looking forward to the release, we are sorry. Until a new release date is determined, we will inform everyone, thank you.
