Surprising Departure of Lola from PIXY

In a surprising turn of events, Lola, a beloved member of the girl group PIXY, has announced her departure from the group, leaving fans concerned about the future of the group.

Lola's Heartfelt Announcement

On September 15, Lola took to Instagram to share a heartfelt letter revealing her departure. The announcement comes with an apology to fans for the abrupt news, as she assures them that she will return under her birth name, Choi Yu Jeong. The emotional message sheds light on her gratitude towards the fans who continuously supported her throughout her journey.

“Hello, this is PIXY Lola,” she began her message. “First of all, I want to express my deep gratitude to the fans who have believed in me and continued to support me warmly. I also want to apologize for the unfortunate news I’m about to share. My heart is heavy. As of September 11, 2024, my contract with Allart has ended. I have cherished every moment spent with PIXY and WINXY, the fans who mean everything to me.”

Concerns of Disbandment

With her departure, the alarm bells regarding the group's potential disbandment are ringing loud among fans. PIXY debuted in February 2021 as a six-member group with their digital single "Wings," but over time, shifts in the lineup have reflected challenges within the group. By August 2022, the team had already shrunk to four members following the health-related departures of Ella and Satbyeol. After welcoming a new member, the remaining members embarked on successful tours across Europe and the USA.

Further Departures and Fan Reactions

The situation worsened when in June 2024 member Dajeong, who now performs under the name U_Chae, also announced her exit. With Yu Jeong’s recent announcement, PIXY is now down to just three members. Despite the possibility of onboarding new faces, many fans are left feeling despondent as they sense a "silent disbandment" narrative. This sentiment is compounded by the fact that it has been nearly a year since they last released new music.

Hope for the Future

As fans grapple with this news, a wave of support has emerged online, with many expressing their hopes for all members’ future endeavors. The question on everyone’s mind remains: Is this the end of PIXY, or is there hope for a revival with new music and members? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—PIXY and its members will always hold a special place in the hearts of their dedicated fans.
