He became a member of TREI when the supposed boy group did not debut. However, the group also disbanded. Now, he is in a new boy group in his 3rd debut with TAN.

Another member that is still striving for his dreams is Siwoo. He will re-debut with a new stage name Wooyeon, with a new boy group named WeNU. His group consists of almost previous idol members from different boy groups like BIGFLO, Sigma, VX, and Sigma.
Meanwhile, other members look like living a normal life, away from the entertainment industry. Their rapper, TK, real name Lee Minwoo, just got discharged from the military, according to his Instagram account.
Main vocalist Kangjun is now a graphic designer with golf as a hobby. He occasionally posts his work and his daily life on his own Instagram account.
Ray, their visual and center, is also living a quiet life and mostly posts about his dog and other things he is interested in on his Instagram account.
