Project girl group Kep1er will not extend its term beyond July, when it is due to end, according to a Korean media report last week.
The nine members will go separate ways when the group project ends but not before releasing an album and hosting a concert, it added. Management companies of the members – WakeOne and Swing – gathered once last year to discuss continuing on as Kep1er but did not reach a decision.
WakeOne Entertainment said that it is still in talks with the other agency as well as the members, following the report.
The multinational group was formed through survival audition show Girls Planet 999: The Girls Saga. It debuted with EP First Impact in January 2022 and released four more mini albums in Korea and three singles in Japan.
Its first full album in Japan Kep1going will be dropped on May 8. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
