The K-pop industry is witnessing a major shift as DKZ officially prepares to end its group promotions and move toward individual careers. Their agency, Dongyo Entertainment, confirmed that all group activities will wrap up following scheduled commitments through May 31, 2026, after lengthy discussions with the members.
Dongyo Entertainment expressed gratitude to fans for their long-standing support and acknowledged the group’s journey over the years. The agency specifically praised Jaechan and Juwon for their seven years of leadership, while also recognizing Sehyeon, Mingyu, and Giseok, who joined in 2022 and helped reshape and strengthen the group’s lineup.
Although DKZ will no longer promote as a collective, the members are not leaving the entertainment scene. From June 2026 onward, each member will focus on solo careers. Jaechan and Juwon have renewed their contracts and are expected to expand into diverse entertainment fields, while Sehyeon, Mingyu, and Giseok will continue their artistic development under Dongyo Entertainment.
While fans may view this as a farewell to the group’s era, it is positioned more as a transition into a new phase. The members will continue building their careers individually while maintaining their connection with fans through separate projects and activities.
