There has been no other mention of the group’s upcoming activities.
Koreaboo
Recently, it was announced that XD (formerly XEED)’s Bao would go on hiatus.
On November 6, a 17-year-old cosplayer named Mone seemingly posted a suicide note, which was later connected to her interactions with a member of XD. Allegations of rape against former member Shun were seen in messages between Mone and the group’s leader following what began as a professional contact.

Amid this, Mone’s interactions with the group in general came into question, with some specifically pointing towards member Bao, leading him to release a statement. In the statement, he addressed these claims while offering a message of support for Mone, while denying the allegations of an “inappropriate relationship” with her.
“Hello, this is Bao.
First of all, I sincerely apologize for causing concern as my name has been mentioned in relation to the recent issue.
This incident has nothing to do with me, and yet my name being brought up alongside it has caused unnecessary worry among fans. This weighs heavily on my heart.
I truly hope that the truth of what the victim has gone through will be clearly revealed, and that their safety and recovery will be achieved.
Although various secondary discussions are spreading related to this matter, I find it unfortunate that misunderstandings are growing due to unnecessary speculation.
The period during which the individual and I had personal interactions was only briefly after the team’s activities had ended and I was promoting as a solo artist. Aside from that, none of the inappropriate relationships being speculated about existed.
Still, due to my lack of responsibility and my careless behavior, I deeply reflect on having caused emotional pain to fans and disappointment as an artist. I will take full responsibility throughout the entire process.
As the upcoming performance and schedule are moments filled with many people’s hard work and expectations, I intend to step on stage with deep reflection and a heavy heart.
On stage, I will do my best as an artist, and outside of it, I will sincerely look back on this matter and fulfill my responsibilities.
This incident has made me realize once again how greatly every word and action of mine can affect fans.
From now on, I will act with even greater responsibility as an artist and do my best to live up to your trust.
Thank you sincerely to all the fans who always support and believe in me.
Sincerely,
Bao”— Bao’s statement
However, after this, on November 10, the group issued another statement, stating that Bao would begin an indefinite hiatus. The group also stated it would begin to take legal measures to handle the continued spread of false information and malicious rumors.

XD initially debuted as XEED before their sudden disbandment was announced in April 2024. The same month, the group announced they would return with a new name, and have since been active primarily in Japan.
