ILY:1 hits back at disbandment rumors after cryptic concert post
ILY:1 is facing intense speculation after their recent concert in Japan sparked disbandment rumors. The girl group’s heartfelt social media post used the phrase “return to our everyday lives,” which caught fans and media off guard.
Several outlets, including SpoTV, reported multiple employee resignations from their agency FCENM, fueling the controversy.
The group’s official Twitter shared a touching message after their Dear My Only:1 concert thanking fans:
"It was truly an unforgettable time, filled with laughter and tears shared between ILY:1 and OnlyOne.
Thank you for showing us that the heart that cheers someone on can be so beautiful and warm —
and that such a heart can become the greatest force that moves life forward.
Now, as we return to our everyday lives, I hope the precious memories we made with ILY:1 can give strength to OnlyOne each and every day until we meet again."

Fans immediately questioned if this meant the group was ending activities.
On June 24, FCENM released an official statement denying disbandment or suspension:
"Currently, ILY:1 is continuing their group activities without disbandment or suspension. The members are in the process of regrouping and preparing to greet fans with an even better version of themselves. Speculative content that differs from the truth may cause unnecessary concern and misunderstanding for both the members and fans.
We kindly ask that you refrain from spreading or sharing unconfirmed information, and instead refer to our official channels for accurate updates."

The agency’s message makes it clear: despite staff shakeups and social media confusion, ILY:1 is not disbanding.
Fans can expect more from ILY:1 as the group preps for a fresh start. The latest update puts disbandment rumors to rest—for now.
