Media Reports 4th Gen Group’s Disbandment — Company Releases Statement

Recently, comments made by the girl group ILY:1 caught the attention of netizens.

ILY:1, who debuted in 2022, recently held their Dear My Only:1 concert in Japan. Following the concert’s completion, the group shared a post on social media thanking fans for their attendance.

아일리원과 온리원이 함께 웃고 울고, 정말 잊지 못할 시간이었어요.
누군가를 응원하는 마음이 이렇게 예쁘고 따뜻할 수 있다는 걸,
그런 마음이 삶을 움직이는 가장 큰 힘이 될 수 있다는 걸 알려줘서 고마워요 🫶🏻

이제 다시 각자의 일상으로 돌아가지만,
다시 만날 날까지 아일리원과 함께한… pic.twitter.com/f1AmXzwOt6

It was truly an unforgettable time, filled with laughter and tears shared between ILY:1 and OnlyOne.
Thank you for showing us that the heart that cheers someone on can be so beautiful and warm —
and that such a heart can become the greatest force that moves life forward.

Now, as we return to our everyday lives,
I hope the precious memories we made with ILY:1 can give strength to OnlyOne each and every day until we meet again.

The phrase “return to our everyday lives,” sparked surprise for many, who assumed that it meant that the group might possibly end. Several media sources, including SpoTV confirmed this news, mentioning that many employees of FCENM had resigned allegedly.

On June 24, the group’s X account shared an update, directly addressing the disbandment comments. The statement stated that the group was not disbanding nor suspending activities.

Hello, this is FCENM.
We would like to address the confusion that may have been caused by unverified information recently circulating through unofficial channels.
Currently, ILY:1 is continuing their group activities without disbandment or suspension. The members are in the process of regrouping and preparing to greet fans with an even better version of themselves.
Speculative content that differs from the truth may cause unnecessary concern and misunderstanding for both the members and fans.
We kindly ask that you refrain from spreading or sharing unconfirmed information, and instead refer to our official channels for accurate updates.
We sincerely appreciate your continued interest and warm support for ILY:1.
Thank you.

It appears that ILY:1 will have more time together as a group!
