Co-ed group CHECKMATE officially disband

[escapism]

On December 17, CHECKMATE’s official YouTube channel posted the following statement in Korean:

"Hello, K-pop fans.
This is the content creator and manager of CHECKMATE’s YouTube channel.
First, I apologize for not having been able to produce new content for a long time.
CHECKMATE has disbanded following the end of their “YOU” promotions.
Each of the CHECKMATE members will greet you all with a new image through their individual activities.
Starting from January 2022, this channel will undergo a renewal and change into a channel that produces K-pop content.
We are currently exchanging opinions with the members about content promotions.
In January 2022, we will greet you together with the members as we actively produce new content.
Thank you."

The group was active for one year in total with some member line-up changes in between.

Wishing them luck for any future activities. It's a shame co-ed groups are not appreciated enough in this industry ​

Personally I didn't like them because it felt a little too close to KARD, just not done as well, but it's a shame they disbanded so soon ;;

These days, it's difficult to perform and promote...
It's a difficult time for everyone in the industry, but it's sad to hear stories like this.
