Bang Ye-dam, along with fellow TREASURE member Mashiho, have been on a hiatus from the group for nearly a year now. Initially, in May, their hiatus was prolonged because Bang Ye-dam wanted to focus on his studies and Mashiho on his health.
However, on November 8, it was revealed that TREASURE would be reorganized as a 10 member group, with both Bang Ye-dam and Mashiho choosing to terminate their contract with YG Entertainment.
The news came as a shock to most fans, as they were expecting both members to rejoin soon. However, Bang Ye-dam chose to leave the group to focus on his music production and pursue his career as a producer. Not much has been revealed about his departure, but Twitter has turned into a crying fest as he is one of the most well-loved members of the group.
On the sad occasion of his departure from the group, let’s take a look at some of his memorable viral moments on Twitter that fans will enjoy.

5) Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
On KBS' COOL FM, TREASURE members Ye-dam, Jeongwoo, and Jihoon performed their acoustic rendition of the popular song Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, which became increasingly popular amongst the younger generation after Heath Ledger sang it in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You.
