JYP Entertainment updated Hyunjin's schedule on 26 June regarding his presence on the release of Stray Kids' digital single at the end of the month.
According to the statement, Hyunjin will be joining Stray Kids in July for upcoming promotion dates.
The performer recently appeared in the music video for "Mixtape: OH" and many fans were glad to finally see him on the screen.
It has been approximately 4 months since Hyunjin was involved in a bullying controversy. In February, online allegations surfaced that Hyunjin had verbally abused and harassed his classmates through a group chat room during his school days. The member of Stray Kids immediately halted his activities and met with his victims to personally apologise to them. Per the JYP statement, Hyunjin took a pause to reflect on his past and apologised to show that he's a more mature person than at the time of the incidents.
STAYs (the official name for the fandom) were happy to finally see their beloved idol.
