MOMOLAND Officially Disband after 7 years

February 15, 2023

MOMOLAND just announced that the group are now disbanded. In a note written in Korean posted by the group members and referring to their loyal fans as “Merries”, explained that “they (Momoland) decided to take a step forward towards our dreams and cheer for a new start.” and “even though they are no longer a group, they will still support each other.”

Here’s the Google Translate version;

hello. This is Momoland Ain.
First of all, I’m so sorry to our Merries, who must have been very upset to have encountered it first through an article.
I’ve always been thinking about how to repay our Merries, who always cheered me on and gave me a lot of strength.
Looking back, there were a lot of shortcomings and a lot of regrets, but I feel that there are more happy moments than that.
After a really long thought, the 6 of us, Momoland, decided to take a step forward towards our dreams and cheer for a new start.
Even though the 6 of us are scattered, we are always one team, and just like our beloved Marys who always stood by Momoland, we, as Momoland, will always be by Mary’s side.
I wanted to tell you the news quickly, but I’m so sorry that I finally did it, and thank you for waiting.
Please continue to support and look forward to Momoland and each member’s future.
thank you
