LIMELIGHT hint that ex-Kep1er members Mashiro and Yeseo are joining the group
Ex-Kep1er members Mashiro and Yeseo look likely to join LIMELIGHT, following the launch of their personal Instagram accounts.
Back in May, WAKEONE confirmed that seven out of nine Kep1er members had extended their contracts to continue group activities. The remaining two, Mashiro and Yeseo, did not extend their contracts, which ended earlier this week. The singers have now returned to their agency 143 Entertainment.
The two K-pop idols have since launched their personal Instagram accounts. Their posts have since been reshared onby the official LIMELIGHT account, a girl group under 143 Entertainment, hinting that the duo could be joining as members of the K-pop act.
In June, Kep1er released their first studio album ‘Kep1going On’ and its title track ‘Shooting Star’, which also marked their last release as a nine-member act. The group will continue their activities as a seven-member group with Yujin, Xiaoting, Chaehyun, Dayeon, Hikaru, Huening Bahiyyih and Youngeun.
Meanwhile, LIMELIGHT debuted as a three-member act last February with their debut EP ‘Love & Happiness’. At the time, the group comprised members MiU, Suhye and Gaeun. Notably, member MiU had been a contestant on Girls Planet 999, the show through which Kep1er was formed.
This January, the girl group released their EP ‘Last Dance’ and its lead single ‘Ta-Da!’, announcing that it would be their last release as a trio. At the time, their agency shared plans to reorganise the group with additional members.
In other K-pop news, ex-(G)I-DLE singer Soojin has announced a new date of her 2024 ‘Summer Daze’ fan concert tour in Singapore. Starting later this month, the idol will also perform in Tokyo, Taipei and Macau.
