Been on Hiatus For A Year, Lovelyz's Agency Announces They Are Officially Disbanded

JAKARTA - K-pop group Lovelyz officially disbanded this November. Monday, November 1, the Woollim Entertainment agency announced the group's disbandment via social media.

"Our contracts with Lovelyz members will expire on November 16, 2021. After a long discussion, the seven Lovelyz members (Yoo Jiae, Seo Jisoo, Lee Mijoo, Kei, Jin, Ryu Sujeong, Jung Yein) chose to start something new elsewhere, Woollim said, launching Soompi.

Of the eight members of Lovelyz, only Baby Soul has extended its contract. “Baby Soul renews the contract with the trust he has placed with us for a long time.”

In the future, Woollim will support Baby Soul's solo activities as they also support the new careers of the other 7 Lovelyz members.

“We thank the eight Lovelyz members who worked hard as Woollim artists for seven years and we support a new start for them.”

Lovelyz made their debut as Woollim's first girl group in 2014 with Candy Jelly Love. Their last comeback and release was Obliviate in September 2020.

With the song Obliviate, Lovelyz won the first win on a South Korean music show. Besides group activities, Lovelyz members are active in solo careers, including Mijoo with variety shows and Kei with musicals.

Along with this news, Lovelyz's name and the hashtag #ThankYouLovelyz immediately occupied the trending topics of social media and music streaming services.
