Former WANNA ONE Member Lai Guanlin Announces Retirement from Entertainment Industry

On June 14, Lai Guanlin, who gained recognition for his participation in the survival program “Produce 101″and for being a former member of the popular boy group WANNA ONE, made an unexpected announcement.

The idol-actor made a significant announcement on his SNS by changing his profile picture to full black and posting, “After much contemplation, I have decided to take a different path in my career (outside of the entertainment industry). As a result, this account will now be managed by my staff.”

Previously, Lai Guanlin had a disagreement with his former agency, Cube, which led him to shift his focus towards activities in China rather than Korea. Additionally, he gained recognition as a director after taking a hiatus from his career in acting and singing. This break was reportedly due to controversies surrounding his alleged smoking in non-smoking areas and dating.
