Basically yeah; Shana and Yue have definitely confirmed they have left the company. But MLD never sent out an official announcement so they basically silently disbanded.

what a sad (and pathetic) ending. Typical MLD/Duble Kick Entertainment nonsense. I sincerely hope they can find an outlet to carry on with their careers. I wasn't exactly a fan of the type of music they were given to perform but I could tell, the potential was there for something very good! Including that young maknae, forgot her name, she was fierce!

It’s like they debuted them without caring what happened to them afterwards. I think Chanty isn’t even in Korea anymore last I heard

Chanty was a big time actress in the PH. She's probably back at it and I wouldn't blame her. Yup, they also destroyed T1419 in the process. Changed their group name and basically gave up on them as well. Agencies should be held accountable by law. I mean, beyond locking up Idols for 3, 5 or 7 years, these contracts should be both ways where they would be under the obligation to fund a certain number of releases or comebacks. But yeah, that'll never happen, sadly.

Changing their name was probably the worst decision they could have made. As terrible as their original name was, it helped them stand out. Another company but did you hear what’s happening with Purple Kiss? If not, essentially the group is disbanding this month but the members are stuck in their contract till 2028 and there’s no plans for any solo or subunit or acting activities for any of the members.

omg, that's terrible! How can this be? Can't their Agency release them from their contractual obligations at the very least? I mean, unless they are actually getting paid for just hanging around? But even then, I'd be bored out of my gd mind! :((

Member Swan had put out an unofficial statement stating what we know about their contracts. It doesn’t seem like they have any plans of letting them go anytime soon which is disappointing to say the least. I feel like all the members have untapped potential

ngl to you, I actually liked PK. I mean, not as much as Rocket Punch or anything but pretty darn close!

I like both groups, they carved out their own niche and had the talent to back it up

yeah but Queendom Puzzle (and ELzup) was a total waste of time. RCPC should have had another comeback after or prior to Boom (can't remember which it was). Anyhow, made me sad. And JooE being treated like a clown too. Anyhow, years ago already I guess :( time flies.
