I'll explain why "Inactive" is a better term to use than "Former".

The definition for the word "former" in this case is:
 * "having once or previously been a particular thing"

An example in a sentence: "Baam was a former member of Team FUG".

The definition for the word "inactive" is (obviously):
 * "not active"

Now, going by this definition, Horyang and Goseng aren't former members of Team Tangsooyook as it is clear that they are both still considered part of Team Tangsooyook. They haven't left, they haven't died, they haven't retired.

The only thing they aren't doing is climbing the Tower with the rest of their team. And that's due to Horyang's condition. A team member is injured so the rest of the team are going off to find the treatment for his condition. It's like saying that a footballer who has got an injury and can't play is now a former member of their team. We all know that they are still a member of their team, they're just injured. It's the same thing here.

Therefore the better term to use for Horyang and Goseng is "Inactive" rather than "Former".
