Can GEONWOO actually return to ALD1? A breakdown of his lawsuit against WAKEONE

Quick context: GEONWOO went on hiatus in April after a clip surfaced of him making an inappropriate remark during a pre-debut shoot (WAKEONE said his mic was on without him realizing). ALD1 has been promoting as 7 since then. Now he’s filed a lawsuit asking the court to confirm his status as an ALD1 member and the validity of his contract. WAKEONE says they’d been discussing plans for his future but couldn’t reach an agreement, and ALD1 will continue as 7 for now. Even if he wins in court, the company still controls promotions, so a return isn’t guaranteed. What do you think happens?

Suspended over his own scandal, now he’s suing to get back in.

ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s Geonwoo has been on hiatus since April. Now he’s taking his own agency, WakeOne, to court. Here’s the timeline: ✅ 2025: He was a center on Mnet’s Boys II Planet and made the final lineup, despite a pre-debut bullying apology he later deleted. ✅ Jan. 2026: ALPHA DRIVE ONE debuted and swept all three major TV music shows. ✅ Apr. 2026: WakeOne admitted he made an inappropriate remark on a live mic and put him on hiatus. The other seven kept promoting. ✅ Oct. 25: Reports said he filed a “status confirmation” suit to confirm he’s still in the group. WakeOne says the 7-member lineup isn’t changing. Most Korean netizens blame Geonwoo. However, his fans blame WakeOne for leaving him in limbo for six months. Both sides agree on one thing: someone needs to make a call. Should he get his spot back, or should WakeOne let him go? #ALPHADRIVEONE #ALD1 #알파드라이브원 #김건우 #BoysPlanet #Kpop #보이즈플래닛 #GEONWOO
