1Overview

The East Light (Hangul: 더 이스트라이트, stylized as TheEastLight.) was a South Korean band formed by Media Line Entertainment. The band originally consisted of six members, who made their official debut with the single "Holla" on November 3, 2016. Brother members Seokcheol and Seunghyun later spoke out and filed a lawsuit against the agency, while Media Line Entertainment has removed Eunsung, Junwook, Sagang and Woojin from the group to prevent future complications from the lawsuit.
