According to Brand New Music on April 10 KST, boy group AB6IX will end their group activities temporarily with the expiration of their exclusive contracts this coming May.

Read the agency's full statement, below.

"Hello. This is Brand New Music.

First and foremost, we relay our heartfelt gratitude to the fans who loved and supported AB6IX for the past 7-years.

Following the group's debut on May 22, 2019, AB6IX's exclusive contract with Brand New Music is set to expire this year on May 25. After a thorough discussion with the members, it has been decided that AB6IX's group activities will come to a temporary halt with the upcoming 2026 concert, '6IX TO SEVEN', scheduled to take place from May 23-24.

The agency is currently still in talks with the members about the matter of contract renewals, and we intend to respect and support the members as they prepare to start fresh, no matter what decision they reach.

As Brand New Music's first K-Pop idol group, AB6IX presented this company with many new opportunities and musical direction. From their beginnings as MXM and Wanna One to their completion as AB6IX, the members strived endlessly to grow in their respective roles and solidify their identities as artists.

Furthermore, through constant experimentation, we aided AB6IX in shaping their own, unique sound and supported the group in their efforts to stand in front of fans with sincere music and performances.

As such, Brand New Music intends on supporting AB6IX as passionately as it has always done in all remaining activities until May, including the group's final concert, '6IX TO SEVEN'.

Once again, we thank AB6IX and ABNEW for your time with Brand New Music, and ask for your continued love and interest toward the next steps of Jeon Woong, Kim Dong Hyun, Park Woo Jin, and Lee Dae Hwi.
