Kibum, Alexander, and Dongho - What Are Former Members of U-KISS Up to These Days?

After Dongho announced his retirement from U-KISS, fans have begun to wonder about the whereabouts of Kibum and Alexander, who left U-KISS in 2011.

Dongho's retirement was officially announced by U-KISS' management company, NH Media, on the 16th of October. Dongho has been battling health issues, and finally concluded that he no longer wants to be in the entertainment industry.

U-KISS debuted in 2008 with six members, Dongho, Soohyun, Kibum, Eli, Kevin, and Alexander. They added Kiseop as a new member in 2009 and gained success as a 7-member group. In 2011, Alexander and Kibum left the group to pursue education and business interests. AJ and Hoon were brought in as their replacements.

With Dongho's leaving, the total members that have left U-KISS is changed to three. Dongho had garnered much attention because of his acting talent and MC performances on various TV shows, but as he is now no longer in the entertainment industry, one can't help but wonder what career he will pursue in the future.

Kibum and Alexander, however, are still in the entertainment industry. Many of their Korean fans do not know much about their whereabouts because Kibum and Alexander have been active internationally.

Alexander, who is a citizen of Hong Kong, has been active in other Asian markets, such as Hong Kong, China, and Japan. He signed with a different management company and released a solo album. He is also a part of entertainment shows and dramas. Most recently, he teamed up with Rainbow's Jisook to work as MCs for an international event.

Kibum has been active in Japan, taking the alias Allen Kibum. It is rumored that he's earned over $10 million in ad appearances alone. He is also preparing to release a solo album in Korea.

U-KISS will perform with six members in the meantime. They will release a new album late October and come back to the Korean entertainment scene as planned.
