MIRAE’s label, DSP Media, announced the boyband’s disbandment today (July 9) in a statement through the group’s official Weverse page. The decision came about three-and-a-half years after the group made their debut in March 2024.
“After long thoughts and lengthy discussions, the company and MIRAE have decided to end the group’s activities,” DSP Media said in its statement, tas translated by Koreaboo. “The group activities will conclude, but Son Dongpyo will remain with the company for his individual activities.”
“Thank you again for your support towards MIRAE. Please continue to watch over the MIRAE members’ future activities with your continued affection and support,” the label added.
