UPDATE: Just announced, the rookie girl group ME:I is set to undergo a shocking lineup change that has left fans reeling. LAPONE GIRLS revealed on December 22, 2024, that four members—Ran, Cocoro, Shizuku, and Kokona—will exit the group as their contracts conclude on December 31, 2024. This drastic shift means ME:I will continue with just seven members starting in the New Year.
Fans are urged to act quickly, with less than two weeks to celebrate and say farewell to the departing members. LAPONE GIRLS has expressed regret over the sudden announcement but has not provided information on the members’ final activities or the future of ME:I’s promotions.
This development has sparked intense speculation among fans. Notably, three of the four leaving members—Cocoro, Ran, and Shizuku—had taken breaks earlier in the year due to health concerns. Meanwhile, Kokona has continued her regular performances, leading to questions about the agency’s decision-making process.
Sources indicate that Shizuku’s previous rule-breaking incident, disclosed in an October statement, may have influenced LAPONE GIRLS’ decision to restructure the group. This unexpected news comes as a bitter surprise for ME:I’s dedicated fanbase, who are now rallying together to support the departing members during their final days with the group.
As the clock ticks down to the end of the year, fans are left wondering about the implications of this change. What will happen to ME:I’s future? Will the remaining members be able to maintain their momentum in the competitive industry? Fans are watching closely for updates on the group’s direction and any potential new members.
Stay tuned for more developments as this story unfolds. The excitement and uncertainty surrounding ME:I’s future promises to keep fans engaged in the coming weeks.
