They performed Man Man Ha Ni for their cameback stage. In 2010, they finally released their 1st studio album 'Only One' on February 3 and started promotions on KBS's Music Bank with their lead single 'Bingeul Bingeul (Round and Round)'In late February 2011, NH Media confirmed the withdrawal of two members of U-Kiss which is Alexander and Kim Kibum..NH Media made a mutual agreement to terminate Kibum exclusive contract recently..With Alexander’s case, he may be leaving U-KISS, but after a very long discussion, they decided that he will be remaining with the agency to fulfill his personal, overseas activities..

NH Media will be replacing Kim Kibum and Alexander with new members, believing that it will strengthen the group vocals and become more mature and developed team..U-Kiss will make their comeback next month, and they are currently working hard with the other members..
