WartaGate.com – Surprising news has come from the K-Pop industry. Seo Youngeun has officially been confirmed to leave the girl group Kep1er.

The announcement was delivered directly by the agencies managing the group, WAKEONE and KLAP Entertainment.

Through an official statement released on Friday (March 6), the agencies stated that Kep1er will continue its activities as a six-member group. The members who will remain in the group are Choi Yujin, Shen Xiaoting, Kim Chaehyun, Kim Dayeon, Ezaki Hikaru, and Huening Bahiyyih.

The agencies explained that Youngeun, who has been an important part of Kep1er’s journey since their debut in 2022, has now decided to end her activities with the group.

In the statement, the agencies also expressed their gratitude to Youngeun for her contributions and hard work during her time as a member of Kep1er. They noted that she had shown great dedication and passion while promoting with the group.
