Girl group MIMIIROSE, originally produced by singer-producer Im Chang-jung, officially disbanded just before their fourth debut anniversary, marking an unexpected end to their journey.
On April 16, member Ye-won (Kim Ye-won) personally announced the news through her social media account, revealing that the group decided to part ways after long discussions.
In his heartfelt post, Ye-won wrote that MIMIIROSE has decided to end group activities and start new individual paths.
He expressed deep gratitude to the fans while also apologizing for the sudden and painful news: “We have decided, after long discussions, to go our separate ways. We are leaving our agency and are at a new starting point as individuals rather than as a group.”
He continued, acknowledging the emotional impact on fans: “I know that this goodbye will be very painful for all those who have supported us so far and I regret that I can only say goodbye.”
Ye-won also reflected on the group’s journey with their Bloomy fandom, describing the moments shared on stage as the happiest memories of her life. “The time we spent dreaming together on stage, and Bloomy’s eyes and voices, were the happiest moments of my life.”
He added that although the MIMIIROSE group’s activities have ended, their shared memories will remain forever. “Even if our journey as MIMIIROSE ends here, what we have built together will never disappear.”
He concluded by asking fans to continue supporting their future paths as individual artists.
MIMIIROSE debuted to considerable attention as a group produced by Im Chang-jung, quickly arousing curiosity due to his involvement in their creation.
However, the group’s journey subsequently faced challenges when Im Chang-jung became embroiled in allegations related to stock manipulation, which affected public perception and momentum around the group.
Following the controversy, MIMIIROSE moved to Pocket7 Entertainment in hopes of a fresh start.
Despite this “new beginning”, the group has now concluded its operations in less than two years after the restructuring, officially closing the chapter in the group’s career.
