Fans Heartbroken As 3rd-Gen Girl Group Seemingly Hints At Disbandment
Weki Meki, a beloved figure in the K-Pop scene since their debut in 2017, seems to be on the brink of disbandment.
The group, known for hits like “Picky Picky,” “Oopsy,” “Crush,” and “Cool,” has not released new music since their 2021 mini-album, “I Am Me,” leaving fans anxious about their future. And recently, a member’s comment has seemingly all but confirmed the fans’ fears.
The disbandment rumors gained traction following a recent YouTube vlog featuring Weki Meki members Dohwa and Elly. During the video, the conversation turned to living arrangements, where Elly mentioned she has never lived alone, having stayed in the group’s dorm for years.
However, she casually remarked that they would be leaving the dorm in July or August. Elly’s comment has left fans piecing together clues, suggesting that the group might disband as their contracts are also nearing an end.

The group’s journey in the K-pop industry has been notable, particularly with members Yoojung and Doyeon rising to fame earlier as part of the project group I.O.I. The group’s fun performances and catchy musical style have garnered a dedicated fanbase over the years.
Despite the looming fears of disbandment, neither Weki Meki nor their management company, Fantagio, has made any official statements regarding these speculations. This silence has only fueled fans’ concerns, leading to a flurry of heartfelt messages and tributes on social media, highlighting the group’s impact despite their short-lived career.

I can't stop thinking about this even if I tried to prepare myself for a long time already. But the thought of an official statement coming soon just k1lls me. I lost all my favourite groups in these 7 years and letting weki meki go will just be my final straw. They're my home https://t.co/1I3VdFRpsD
