The members expressed their farewells through heartfelt handwritten letters shared on their official social media accounts. Leader Lee Junhyuk wrote, “I learned a lot thanks to NOW (our fan club) during my time with MIRAE and am grateful for the unforgettable moments we created together.”

Son Dongpyo, who will continue his individual activities with DSP Media, shared his reflections: “Honestly, there were many moments when I felt broken and uncertain. But even during those times, we were always together, walking alongside our fans, learning how to stand back up. Please watch over us as we each pursue our dreams.”

MIRAE made their debut in March 2021 with their EP ‘KILLA.’ The group was seen as the next promising act from DSP Media, an entertainment company known for producing iconic groups like Sechskies, Fin.K.L, Click-B, SS501, KARA, and April. MIRAE was the first group DSP launched in four years, following the co-ed group KARD. The members included participants from popular survival shows such as ‘Produce X 101’ and ‘Under Nineteen.’

Since their debut, the EP ‘KILLA,’ MIRAE has swiftly gained acclaim for their energetic performances and distinctive musical style. They have successfully established a niche in the highly competitive K-pop industry, building a fanbase known as NOW. Throughout their journey, MIRAE achieved significant milestones, including high-charting releases and standout performances on popular music shows.

Their last domestic release was the mini-album ‘Boys Will Be Boys,’ which came out in July of the previous year. Despite the disbandment, fans continue to support the members and look forward to their future endeavors.
