Popular 4th Gen Group’s Account Closes — Fans Fear Disbandment Is Near
Fears are worried over boy group ATBO‘s future.
ATBO, a group formed through IST Entertainment’s survival competition The Origin — A, B, Or What?, made their official debut on July 27, 2022, after the completion of the reality show and a name change brought on by fans’ concerns.
Since then, the group has promoted, with their most recent release being “Must Have Love.”
The group has technically been on hiatus since this release around a year and a half ago. After member Rakwon depature, the group combined with Just B to created the project group The CrewOne and compete on Road To Kingdom: Ace Of Ace.
Recently, it was announced that the group’s Weverse service would end.
The group do not use any other social media fan chatting platforms like Bubble or Fromm, meaning that their direct communications with fans will stop after June 20th.
Combined with the group’s lack of activities under the ATBO name, fans are not optimistic about the group’s future. Many have harshly criticized IST Entertainment over the alleged mismanagement of the group.
so this is how atbo ends, no activities for 1 year and 7 months. with the guys having their confidence crushed, after a survival show and with their last stage being as a project group that was made to make them think they had a chance at continuing to be idols.
IST you are evil

ATBO were just 7 guys trying to reach their dreams of being idols and having performances in front of fans but their company shattered their confidence, crushed their dreams , put them through difficult scenarios and left fans in the dark countless times.

Hopefully, the group will be able to continue to strive for their dreams regardless of the way it happens.
