About K-pop Boy Group MYTEEN

MYTEEN then made their debut in Japan in October 2018 with their first single album "SHE BAD." Two months later, the company announced that band member Taevin will leave the group to focus on his acting career.
In May 2019, band members Yuvin and Kookheon competed in "Produce X 101," which formed the boy group X1. The two, however, didn't make the debut lineup. In August of the same year, Music Works announced that MYTEEN will disband after two years of activity.
Why Did MYTEEN Disband?
Through an official statement, Music Works shared that the agency had a thorough discussion with each MYTEEN member concerning his future direction. And, as a result of their deliberation, they reached the final decision to end the septet's group activities and the members would go on each of their own paths.
While the label officially announced MYTEEN's disbandment, they didn't specify the reason why the members decided not to continue as a group.
Where are the MYTEEN Members Now?
Former MYTEEN Kookheon
As mentioned above, Kookheon is a former "Produce X 101" participant and so he gained more popularity after joining the survival show.
Three days after Music Works announced that MYTEEN will disband, Kookheon re-debuted in a duo called B.O.Y, along with her former bandmate Yuvin. The duo officially debuted in January 2020 with their first mini-album "Phase One: YOU."
