Lexie Levin exits SAINT SATINE ahead of the group’s official debut, according to multiple outlets citing discussions between Levin and the agency. Times of India reports that the decision is mutual and that Levin and the company agree she will not continue with the project, with Levin citing differences in “ways of operating” rather than any single dispute. The same reporting indicates she leaves the group after previously departing and then rejoining a HYBE-related project tied to Dream Academy. Earlier, Forbes says the move represents Levin’s second departure from a HYBE x Geffen project, noting her prior exit from Dream Academy before returning for SAINT SATINE. The available coverage also frames the timing as occurring before SAINT SATINE formally debuts, with the group continuing as a trio. Other linked roundups reference speculation and reporting about the reason for her departure, but the shared details across sources center on her exit before debut and that she cites operational differences.
