A few days ago, it was reported that Kep1er would be disbanding in July as the members failed to reach an agreement with the company. As the contract renewals come closer, due to failing to arrive at a conclusion, the members will allegedly be parting ways with WAKEONE and returning back to their respective agencies that they were under before forming the group. However, following the news, WAKEONE released a statement where they said that they are still in discussions with the members’ companies regarding the extension of their contracts.
