Weki Meki to disband after last single
Girl group Weki Meki will drop digital single “CoinciDestiny” on June 12, said agency Fantagio Friday.
The management company uploaded a poster showing the eight members running around on a green field having fun together. The single will be the first full-group effort in over 2 1/2 years since fifth EP “I Am Me.”
But as the accompanying phrase -- “Forever remembering us who came upon each other by chance and glowed together dreaming of destiny” – suggests, it will be the last music the octet will be putting out together.
The group debuted in 2017 and made news for the fact that the members included Kim Doyeon and Choi Yoojung, who were part of I.O.I. Weki Meki’s contract with the agency is set to expire in August.
