Did the group hint their disbandment?
'MISSION COMPLETE': Kep1er's 2023 MAMA Awards Performance Leaves Kep1ians Heartbroken Due to Caption
On November 28, the Day 1 for the 2023 MAMA Awards was finally held, inviting numerous K-pop artists, celebrities, and fans to watch the event. The artists receiving their well-earned awards may be the main highlight of the show, but viewers were also stunned by the thrilling stages.
Fans were astonished by the first batch of performances, with Lee Youngji, LE SSERAFIM Eunchae, &TEAM, Just B, and many others who hyped the event's introduction.
During the final stage of the first session, Kep1er performed a six-minute spectacle with "Grand Prix."
The project girl group gave their all and had fans applauding their special stage.
However, at the end of their performance, the girls left an eyebrow-raising but somber note on one of the boards saying, "MISSION COMPLETE."
Kep1er was formed under the survival show "Girls Planet 999" and debuted on January 3, 2022, with their first-ever title track "WA DA DA." Like any other project group in K-pop, Kep1er also had a limited contract in their grasp and is expected to disband in 2024.
Kep1er's 2023 MAMA Awards performance also marked the group's final MAMA stage, and with "MISSION COMPLETE" being declared after their segment, Kep1ians were left with a heartbreaking note, leading them to express their sadness on social media.
Here's how fans reacted:
Mission complete 😭 this is their last stage at MAMA isn’t it? But they ends it powerfully. Thank you kep1er, I try to hold my cry for now. Ps: dayeon xiaoting youngeun slay the ending fairy 🤍#Kep1er #케플러#MAMA2023 #MAMAAWARDS #2023MAMAAWARDS pic.twitter.com/kquprhatcR
