Group Leader Announces Departure From Company, Signaling “Silent” Disbandment

When a group’s activities come to an end, fans usually hope for a clear conclusion, such as an announcement of their disbandment. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and something called a “silent” disbandment happens instead, leaving fans in an unsure state.

Recently, a K-Pop group’s leader shared an update that left many questioning the group’s status.

In 2022, MLD Entertainment debuted Lapillus, a six-member girl group.

On October 26, Shana, the group’s leader, announced that she had left the company a few months prior.

Hello~ this is Shana
I’ve actually wanted to share this for a long time but I wasn’t sure if it was right for me to tell you first, so I hesitated.
However, I felt that staying silent any longer would be unfair to all of you who have supported me.
So I decided to share it now.
I am no longer under contract with the agency I was previously affiliated with.
All the memories, experiences, and growth I gained during that time are invaluable treasures that I will never forget.

Meeting Chanty, Yue, Bessie, Seowon, Haeun was also such a happiness!✩ˎˊ˗
They know both my shortcomings and my good side & and I love them as my dear friends🫶🏻
I cherish both the happy and tough moments we shared together they are all treasures to me.

I was truly blessed with many people around me🕊 thanks to all of you.
I’m incredibly happy🤍✨
I know the ways I can give back are still small, but I want to express my gratitude.
Thank you so much𓂃🫧♡
After my contract ended, I challenged myself with many new things.
Through these experiences I finally found the path I want to move forward on. 
It was a very fun and fulfilling time.

I look forward to the day I can share more good news with you in the future.
By the way, I’m feeling really happy and enjoy fulfilling days.
I owe it all to you, everyone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

While many have wished her success in the future, some have also shared their belief that this is a sign of Lapillus being no more. Lapillus have not updated social media since February 2025, and have not released new music since August 2023.
