Lightsum (Cube group with rigged out Izone member) removed their two youngest member. Why?

This group, even though hyped at first, has been flopping. Cube now removed the two youngest members from the 8 member group. What do you think is the reason?

i don't understand why is this even in anon? go read the lightsum thread in main, there are already many comments as to why people think they are removed.

Weren't the two youngest also the least popular? And they were sub-vocalists so not really vital to the group.

All top 4th gen groups have like 4-7 members (if you count Nmixx as a top group, otherwise 4-6). They might have realized that there were too many members in the group and that it was scaring off some potential fans. So they cut the dead weight.

Or the youngest two left because the group was flopping and they still had a chance of finishing their high school education and continuing their life's normally if they left now.
