Kep1er performs last show with nine members in Japan

This Monday, the 15th, Kep1er’s last show with nine members took place in Japan. As had already been announced by WAKEONE Entertainment at the end of May, the company responsible for the members Mashiro It is Yeseo decided not to renew the artists’ contracts after the end of the initially established agreement.

It is worth remembering that Kep1er was formed on the survival program “Girls Planet 999”, on Mnet, as a temporary group, with activities scheduled to last only two and a half years – the date of which expired this Monday. After discussions with the agencies responsible for each of the members, only Yujin, Xiaoting, Chaehyun, Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih It is Youngeun agreed to the renewal.

With that, today’s show was marked by a lot of emotion, both from the fans and the artists, who did not hide their tears at the moment of farewell.

Following the performance, WAKEONE and Swing Entertainment issued a new statement, thanking Mashiro It is Yeseo for the time in the formation, in addition to highlighting the beginning of the new era of Kep1er as a septet. Check it out!

“Hello, this is WAKEONE and Swing Entertainment.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Kep1ians and everyone who has shown unwavering love for Kep1er’s journey, which began with Mnet’s ‘Girls Planet 999.’

Kep1er will officially end its nine-member activities after the ‘Japan Concert 2024 Kep1going’ held today (7/15).

Therefore, from today onwards, Kep1er will continue their activities as a group with seven members: Choi Yujin, Xiaoting, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih, and Seo Youngeun.

We would like to express our gratitude to Sakamoto Mashiro and Kang Yeseo, who have done their best as Kep1ers for the past two years and six months, and have made every moment of this journey shine. We will continue to support their activities.

Kep1er will continue to grow even more to repay the love of its fans. We ask for your continued interest and support for Kep1er’s activities as they continue to run this journey with seven members.”

On the social networks, Mashiro It is Yeseo also made a point of thanking their fans. On the Instagram stories platform, the co-leader assured that the Kep1ians will remain in her memory, in addition to showing gratitude for all the affection she received.
