Five fromis_9 Members Sign with ASND: Group’s Future Hangs in Balance
While the five members of fromis_9—Song Hayoung, Park Jiwon, Lee Nagyung, Lee Chaeyoung, and Baek Jiheon—have signed with ASND, speculation about a potential group disbandment looms large. Though the members are committed to preserving the group’s identity, the departure of three members (Lee Saerom, Lee Seoyeon, and Roh Jisun) raises questions about fromis_9’s long-term sustainability.
Navigating Uncertainty
The group’s future remains uncertain. While the five ASND-signed members have expressed a desire to continue as fromis_9, the uneven split suggests potential challenges in maintaining the group’s original dynamic. Fans are left wondering whether this represents a gradual disbandment or a strategic regrouping.
ASND has emphasized that the five members will continue to try using the fromis_9 name, but the absence of the other three original members creates significant ambiguity about the group’s future. The situation mirrors other K-pop groups that have faced similar transitions, often leading to eventual disbandment.
Looking Ahead
As fromis_9 left Pledis Entertainment, fans remain hopeful but realistic about the group’s prospects. As just 5 of 8 fromis_9 members have signed to same agency, and 3 will go on their journey to find a new home, the group activity is in cloud.
