“Announcement regarding the activities of ARrC
Hello, this is MYSTIC STORY.
First and foremost, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the fans who have continuously shown their love and support for ARrC.
After long and thorough discussions with the members, we have reached the decision to officially conclude ARrC’s group activities as of June 23, 2026. Consequently, ANDY, CHOI HAN, DOHA, HYUNMIN, JIBEEN, KIEN, and RIOTO will each embark on new journeys and pursue their own paths in the future.
We would like to express our deepest appreciation to the members for their passion and dedication throughout their journey within ARrC, as well as to the fans whose unwavering love and support made this journey possible. We sincerely wish the best to the members as they begin this new chapter, and we kindly request your continuous encouragement and support for their future projects.
Once again, we would like to thank all the fans who have cherished and supported ARrC over the years.
Thank you.”
To accompany this painful announcement, each of the seven members took up the pen to express his feelings, his regrets, and his eternal gratitude toward the fans.
The member expresses his deep sadness and apologizes for the suddenness of the news. He warmly thanks the fans for having supported him since his trainee days up to his performances on stage, affirming that their love was his greatest strength in difficult moments. He promises to continue working hard to return one day under a better facet.
“I am the happiest in the world when I face the ARrCer on stage, and as there are still many facets of myself that I want to show you, I will do my best in my place to be able to meet the ARrCer again one day in a great form.”
CHOI HAN evokes with emotion the end of his official activities. He stresses that despite the dissolution, the members retain an immense gratitude and will continue to support each other. He expresses his regret for not having been able to unveil all his potential but says he is honored to have shared the end of his adolescence with the public.
“I sincerely thank everyone who transformed an ordinary person like CHOI HAN into a brilliant CHOI HAN on stage.”
In his letter, DOHA confides having long hesitated on the words to use as his heart is so heavy. He explains that the group represented much more than a simple project in his eyes, becoming a pillar allowing him to hold fast against trials. He preciously keeps every memory created over the years.
“The memories created together with ARrC during our activities all remain precious in my heart, and even the smallest little moments had an immense meaning for me…”
HYUNMIN looks back on his long journey since his training period, admitting to have gone through emotional roller coasters. He describes his time in the group as an irreplaceable photo album and refuses to see this separation as a definitive end to his dreams, choosing to walk serenely toward a new beginning.
“All the periods spent doing activities as a member of ARrC are like a photo album filled only with moments that I will never be able to remove from my life.”
Worried about the shock caused to the fans, JIBEEN summons his most vivid memories, notably those of their debut. He expresses a touch of nostalgia and regret faced with this early conclusion, while affirming his absolute pride in having been part of this adventure and promises to cherish the cheers received.
“I remember in the most vivid way our first debut. Going on stage to present our music and facing the fans for the first time made me so happy and gave me so much joy.”
Having written his thoughts in Korean then in his native language on a second sheet, KIEN warmly thanks the personnel of the agency for their precious teachings. He also thanks his traveling companions for their protection and their benevolence, promising to perfect himself individually for the rest of his life.
“No matter what the future holds for us, I hope that each of the members will be deeply happy and will shine in his own path!”
RIOTO chose to write his letter in Japanese to address his community directly. Filled with regrets and sadness, he affirms that the stage will remain his favorite place and that the love received from the ARrCer will remain engraved forever within him. He asks the fans to wait for him for his future stages of growth.
“The time spent with you was a true happiness. Whether it was the days when we met during concerts and events, or the days when you encouraged me on social media, your existence was always my strength.”
The agency MYSTIC STORY has thus confirmed the end of the collective activities of ARrC on this June 23, 2026, opening the way to the future personal projects of the seven members.
