It was stated from the start that Seo Eunkwang, Lee Minhyuk, Lim Hyunsik, Jung Ilhoon and Lee Minwoo (이민우) were on the list of original members who are waiting to be debuted under the name of "BtoB".

Adding on, he would still be a trainee under Cube. If he was to recover, he would still get a chance to debut. Minwoo was confirmed to debut as a C-Clown (Crown Clown) member under Yedang Entertainment^.
