4th Gen Idol Feared To No Longer Be In Group After Being Edited Out Of A Photo
While line-up changes or disbandments are an unfortunate part of K-Pop, fans consider themselves lucky to be given prior notice to it occurring. In cases where a member’s departure is unclear or drawn out, it only makes things harder on fans.
4th Gen Idol Departs From Beloved Group, Signs Point To Disbandment
Recently, fans were given reason to worry that a member of Cignature is no longer in the group.
Cignature debuted in February 2020 as a seven-membered group with a slightly different line-up. Following their first mini-album, two of the groups members left and were replaced by Chloe and Dohee.
Since then the group has promoted with this line-up of seven, only changing to six due to member Belle‘s joining of the temporary group UNIS. However, fans noticed that in the promotions for a performance, Chloe had been edited out of a group image.
She was also not present for the performance, with the group completing their stage as five members.
Chloe’s absence raised suspicions that were seemingly confirmed by a past interaction with a fan. During a fansign event, Chloe reportedly discussed her potential departure from the group’s promotions, with the fan saying that the event would be her last after their conversation.

Because of this, many believe Chloe’s time as a member of the group has ended. In addition to thanking her for her hardwork and sending well-wishes…

All seriousness though, even though I’m really going to miss Chloe being apart of Cignature, I also want her to do what’ll make her happy in life and do what she wants and if leaving the group is part of it, then so be it.. it’s a bittersweet situation🥲
