JAKARTA - The shocking news came from ATBO. This IST Entertainment-sponsored group was decided to disband in just three years since their debut.
This news was announced by their agency on Wednesday, December 17. They explained that this choice was a discussion between members for a long time.
"After discussing with the members, our company decided to terminate the contract with ATBO. In deciding this, we considered each member's conditions and desires and potential for growth," IST Entertainment said via ATBO's social media.
They also admitted that Jung Seung Hwan, who was on duty in the military, knew about this and had discussed it with the members.
"Jung Seung Hwan who is currently serving in the military is also involved in the discussion by considering the team, members, and fans," the agency explained.
"As long as ATBO is together, we can create various shining moments because of the hard work of the members and the support of fans. We are sorry that this journey ends now," he said.
IST ended their statement by saying, "We hope that happiness, opportunity, love, and support will find a point to ATBO members Oh Junseok, Ryu Junmin, Bae Hyunjun, Jeong Seunghwan, Kim Yeonkyu, and Won Bin," the agency said.
ATBO is a subsidiary group of IST Entertainment that was formed after the 2022 event The Origin - A, B, or What?. The group consists of Junseok, Junmin, Hyunjun, Seunghwan, Yeonkyu, and Won Bin as well as Rakwon who left last year.
Their last activity was when they collaborated with JustB to form the group The CrewOne and joined the Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace event in September 2024.
