Ra*papillon, the three-member idol group formed in May 2021, will be disbanding after their "LAST LIVE" on 14th May 2023.
The news was confirmed in an official announcement from management, citing that the group didn’t manage to achieve the desired results due to the challenges of debuting during the pandemic.
The management expressed their gratitude to all the fans who supported Ra*papillon through their short but memorable journey.
Formed during a tough time when the pandemic disrupted the entertainment industry, Ra*papillon faced an uphill battle from the start.
Their performances were often restricted by social distancing rules, venue limitations, and the difficulties of promoting during such an unprecedented global situation.
Fans of the group were, understandably, heartbroken by the announcement.
Many took to social media to express their sadness, thanking the group for their hard work and dedication, despite the setbacks they faced.
Management mentioned that while the group’s journey is coming to an end, they hope to see the members shine in their future endeavours.
"This isn't the end for our girls," the statement said. "They will continue to pursue their dreams and passions in their own ways, and we hope you will continue to support them."
The "LAST LIVE" promises to be a touching farewell, with Ra*papillon performing some of their fan-favourite songs for the final time.
Fans are eager to attend, not only to say goodbye but to celebrate the impact the group had on their lives, even in such a short period.
This news comes as yet another reminder of how difficult it was for the entertainment industry to thrive during the pandemic.
Many groups, like Ra*papillon, were unable to fully capitalise on their potential.
But despite the challenges, the members gave their all, and their fans will undoubtedly cherish their performances forever.
As we say goodbye to Ra*papillon, it’s important to remember that even though their group is disbanding, their individual careers are still on the horizon. There’s always hope for new beginnings!
