On January 22, Mystic Story released an official statement confirming that Ziwoo would no longer be a member of ARrC. The agency expressed gratitude for Ziwoo’s contributions to the group and assured fans that this decision had been made after careful discussion to respect Ziwoo’s personal aspirations.
“From now on, ARrC’s scheduled activities will proceed without Ziwoo,” the statement read. “Regarding ARrC’s next album, there may be footage of the member in question in pre-recorded filming or production elements, so we ask for your understanding in advance.”
“We apologize once again to the fans who have been waiting for ARrC’s next album and activities,” it continued. “We ask that you cheer on Ziwoo, who is walking a new path, and we ask that ARrCer [ARrC’s fans] also send your warm love and support to the ARrC members who will be moving forward towards their dreams after growing even further.”

ARrC, a six-member boy group under Mystic Story, debuted on August 19, 2024, with their EP AR^C. The group’s name stands for “Always Remember the Real Connection,” symbolizing their commitment to fostering meaningful bonds that transcend time, space, and differences. Since its debut, ARrC has also aimed to inspire and positively impact people worldwide through its music. Despite the setback, Mystic Story also reassured fans that ARrC would continue to pursue this vision with dedication and determination.
Fans are now rallying around the group, expressing their support for both ARrC’s upcoming activities and Ziwoo’s individual pursuits. The next steps for both parties also remain highly anticipated.
