K-Pop Group BAE173 Spotted Making Move That's Worried Fans for Their Future

BAE173 made their debut on November 19, 2020, with a lineup that included members of X1 prior to the short-lived survival group's disbandment. Their debut album, Intersection: Spark, hit number 12 on the Gaon Music Chart.

The group has faced difficulties with promotion, first due to the COVID-19 pandemic, then due to issues with their label, Pocketdol. Leader Hangyul recently announced his departure from the agency, effectively leaving the group.

On June 16, it was shared that BAE173's Bubble fan chatting service would be terminated. This sort of announcement has often come just before disbandment notices, so many believe it is another sign that the group is headed in that direction.

A message from member Yoojun has only been seen as more confirmation. There has been no official notice of the group's status as of writing.
