II. Facing an Almost Disbandment:
On April 25th, 2024, reports stated that Kep1er would be disbanding on July 2024 after contract discussions. The 2 years and 6 months of Kep1er's contract will have elapsed, and they will likely release one final album along with a farewell concert.
Later on, their agency WAKEONE Entertainment denied the prominent July 2024 disbandment speculation, stating the following:
Quote"We're still in discussion with each member and their respective labels about the extension of Kep1er's activities. Kep1er are currently preparing for a new album, so we ask for your support so they can return with good music."
III. Mashiro and Yeseo's Departure
The group would renew their contracts and be moved over to KLAP Entertainment, the company that manages Sistar19 and VANNER. However, Mashiro and Yeseo would end up leaving the group and debuting with LIMELIGHT prior to the SA scandal that they faced after their name change to MADEIN, an scandal that they would be the victims in.
