Singer Lim Jae-beom announced his retirement.
Lim Jae-beom announced his retirement on the 4th by appearing on JTBC's "Newsroom" invitation.
On this day, Lim Jae-beom said, "I think I have to tell you something a little sad."
"I've been thinking a lot for a lot of time, but I'm going to leave the stage after this 40th anniversary performance," he said.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time," he said, adding, "I think it's the way for the fans to come down when they can sing on stage with everything on fire. As the saying goes, "Leave when you clap," I decided that it would be best to leave now.
"I will tell you the details at the Seoul performance," he said. "There are too many emotions passing by. Forty years can be seen in an instant. I think the fans will be surprised. Even if I leave, please support all the musicians," he added.
