Reporter Wu Ruici/Comprehensive Report
Kim Sung-gyu, the leader of the South Korean group INFINITE, received a notification of the diagnosis of new crown pneumonia in June, and after learning of the diagnosis, he completely suspended his activities and gave priority to recuperation and treatment, and did not report safety until the 7th, revealing that he had recovered. How unexpectedly, during this period of treatment, he was silently kicked out by the fixed program "Different in the Table" (provisional translation), and the agency revealed to the media with resentment on the 23rd that it suddenly received a notice to get off the bus, which made them feel very absurd and speechless.

When Jin Shenggui was not yet diagnosed, he fixed his appearance in the reasoning program "Different in the Table", which broadcast the first episode on the 7th, and he appeared in the figure, but the 2, 3, and 4 episodes were because he was diagnosed and could not participate in the shooting, how to expect, after his health recovery recently, the company took the initiative to ask the program team about the itinerary, but received the other party's exit notification.
According to the agency to which Kim Sung-gyu belongs, after recording episode 1, Kim Sung-gyu signed a contract with the program team to perform as a "fixed guest", at that time, the signed content was that he would star except for episodes 5 and 6, but after he was diagnosed, he did not participate in the filming of episodes 2, 3, and 4, until he was recently cured and asked about the future itinerary, but received a notice to get off, "In the future, it is not a 'fixed member' way, but a 'guest', and then said that this is not the meaning of asking us to quit." The company felt ridiculous.

In this regard, the "Different Appearances" aspect of the show is explained: "There is no decision to let Kim Sung-gyu quit, and it is still in the agreement with Kim Sung-gyu's agency." The rest is not much to say. The different positions of the program "Different in Appearance" and Kim Sung-kyu's agency also make the performance status of the artists more opaque.
