TO1 will disband three years after debuting in 2020, the boy band's agency said.

"TO1's members Donggeon, Chan, Jisu, Jaeyun, J.You, Kyungho, Daigo and Yeojeong have agreed to terminate their exclusive contracts with the company as of Dec. 31," its agency Wake One Entertainment said Sunday.

"Please continue to watch and support the members as they embark on new paths outside TO1. Our company will also support the future endeavors of the members."

TO1 was formed by Mnet's reality show "To Be World Klass" in 2019. The group debuted in April 2020 with their first EP, "Reason For Being: Benevolence."

The band started with 10 members, but four left, and three new members — Japanese members Daigo and Renta and Korean member Yeo Jeong — had joined the team. However, Renta announced his departure in September.
