JAKARTA - WAKEONE and KLAP Entertainment agencies shared the news that Seo Youngeun left the Kep1er group. This news was an update after she had been vacant since July 2025 due to her health condition.
Both agencies released a joint statement that Kep1er will go on with six members. They also hope fans can accept this decision.
"Kep1er will continue activities as a six-member group, namely Choi Yu Jin, Xiaoting, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon and Hikaru," the two agencies said on Friday, March 6.
"Seo Youngeun has been part of Kep1er's journey since 2022 and will complete her activities with the group," he said.
The agency explained that this decision was reached through discussions with Seo Youngeun herself so that she and the group members also knew about this decision.
"Kep1er members also appreciate Seo Youngeun's decision based on trust and send warm support," the agency said.
"Kep1er will start a new chapter as a six-member group. We will do our best for Kep1ian with better performances and music," he said.
Kep1er originally debuted with nine members until Kang Ye Seo and Sakamoto Mashiro left the group in 2024. Seo Youngeun also left the group after being vacant for almost a year due to her health condition.
Kep1er last released the mini album Bubble Gum in August 2025.
