Weki Meki Disbands After 7 Years: What Fans Should Know
Weki Meki officially disbands after seven years, with Fantagio announcing that five members are leaving the agency. Ji Suyeon, Choi Yoojung, and Kim Doyeon are still in contract discussions.
On August 16, Fantagio made a major announcement that Weki Meki, the K-pop girl group that has captivated fans since 2017, has officially disbanded. This news comes after a period of uncertainty regarding the group's future, which was first hinted at back in June.
The End of an Era
After seven years of making music and performing together, Weki Meki’s journey as a group came to an end on August 8, 2024. The decision was reached following deep discussions between Fantagio and the members of Weki Meki. Fans were first alerted to the possibility of disbandment earlier this year, leading to speculation and concern about the group's future.
Members Part Ways with Fantagio
In addition to the disbandment news, Fantagio shared that five of the group's members—Elly, Sei, Lua, Rina, and Lucy—will be leaving the agency. Their contracts with Fantagio have expired, and they will not be renewing them. However, there is still hope for three of the members—Ji Suyeon, Choi Yoojung, and Kim Doyeon—as Fantagio continues to negotiate new contracts with them.
Fantagio’s statement expressed deep gratitude for the support that Weki Meki has received over the years. The agency acknowledged the contributions of each member, especially the five who are leaving, and assured fans that they will continue to support these members in their future endeavors.
A Look Back at Weki Meki
Weki Meki made their debut in August 2017, quickly gaining attention for their unique style and energetic performances. Despite their success, the group faced periods of inactivity, including a notable hiatus following their comeback in November 2021. Their final release, a digital single in June, marked the end of their collective activities.
As Weki Meki moves on to new chapters in their lives, both as individuals and potentially as part of new projects, fans are encouraged to continue supporting them. The group's legacy will undoubtedly remain a cherished part of K-pop history, and the members' future endeavors will be eagerly watched by those who have followed their journey.
