“We write with heavy hearts to bring unfortunate news to the Royal Family fans who have been supporting and waiting patiently for Boys Republic’s comeback.

After long deliberation, the Boys Republic members and agency decided to definitely halt all promotions. We are planning to host a live event for the Royal Family. We ask for your strong support until the end.”

Boys Republic Joins The Unit

The Unit is one of those events that provide opportunities for participating idols a second chance to make their debut and reap the coveted success. After the previous girl group from FNC Entertainment, namely AOA and former member of T-Ara, Areum, was rumored to be participating in this event, now it is the turn of the boy band that has not been heard for a long time, Boys Republic reportedly participated in the event.

Not only one or two members of Boys Republic took part in this event, but all five members actually made an appearance, namely Onejunn, Sunwoo, Sungjun, Minsu, and Suwoong. And in the end, a total of 15 idols took part in the event. The attendance of many idols at the event received criticism from other participants and considered this unfair.

In the last episode of The Unit, one of the members of Boys Republic, Suwoong, said that he almost debuted with BTS. Suwoong shared that he had nearly debuted with the group. “I trained at BigHit Entertainment,” he explained. “I was lucky enough to get into the debut team, and I recorded for the album and even posed for the album cover photo shoot. But then the team was dismantled.”

Suwoong admitted, “Because I lived and trained with BTS, I wanted to avoid performing their songs. But because I like the group so much, I ended up choosing Fire.”

Well, let’s just wish for the best for Boys Republic.

Boys Republic Disbandment Rumors and Indefinite Hiatus

As of September 2018, Boys Republic’s agency, Universal Music, revealed that the band will go on an indefinite hiatus. A representative from Universal Music said, “Firstly, we apologize for this unfortunate news to the Royal Family, who have been waiting for their comeback for a long time and continuously supported them. After a long period of consideration, the Boys Republic members and the agency agreed to cease their activities for an undetermined amount of time. They will be holding a live performance to say farewell as a group to the Royal Family. We ask you to show them a lot of love until the end.”

However, after a six-year career, some sources said that Boys Republic was rumored to be disbanded, but the agency quickly confirmed that the rumor was untrue. Boys Republic did not disband and was only a hiatus for an undetermined time.

Recently, one of the members of Boys Republic, Suwoong, received more attention than other members by participating in The Unit variety show. Well, we pray for the best for the future career of Boys Republic. Good luck, Boys Republic!
