ARrC Disbandment Announced as Mystic Story Ends Group Activities

Mystic Story announced the ARrC disbandment on June 23, 2026, ending the boy group’s official group activities on the same date. The agency shared the notice through ARrC’s official Instagram account, saying the decision followed careful discussions with the members and confirming that Andy, Choi Han, Doha, Hyunmin, Jibin, Kien and Rioto would move forward on separate paths. ¹

The announcement brings an abrupt close to the group’s activities less than two years after its debut under Mystic Story. Star News reported that the agency also announced the end of the members’ exclusive contracts through official social media on June 23. ²

Mystic Story Confirms ARrC Disbandment

Mystic Story’s notice framed the decision as the result of repeated internal discussions rather than a schedule change or temporary suspension. In the official statement, the agency said, “After repeated sincere and careful discussions with the members, we have decided to end ARrC’s official group activities as of June 23, 2026.” ³

The Korean-language notice posted through ARrC’s official Instagram used similarly direct wording, stating that Mystic Story had decided to end ARrC’s official group activities. The agency also thanked fans for supporting the group and asked for continued support for the members as they begin new individual paths. ¹

Star News separately quoted ARrC’s side as saying it would sincerely support the members so that their new beginnings could shine more brightly. ² The agency notice did not provide a detailed reason beyond the discussions with the members, and the source material does not describe any further group schedule after the June 23 conclusion of activities.

Soompi reported that members posted handwritten letters to fans after the disbandment announcement. ⁴ The Fact also reported that members’ handwritten letters were shared following Mystic Story’s official social media notice. ⁵ Those reports indicate that the announcement was followed by direct messages from the members to supporters, though the available source summaries do not provide the full contents of each letter.

Seven Members To Continue Separately

ARrC’s final lineup named in the official notice consists of Andy, Choi Han, Doha, Hyunmin, Jibin, Kien and Rioto. ¹ MK’s English-language report also listed the seven members and stated that the group’s official activities ended as of June 23, 2026. ³

The reports consistently describe the members as moving forward individually after the group’s closure. BNT News said the members, who debuted in August 2024, would now go their separate ways. ⁶ The official notice used similar language, saying the members would each take separate paths following the end of group activities. ¹

ARrC had been identified as Mystic Story’s first boy group. MK reported that the group debuted in August 2024 under executive producer Yoon Jong-shin, while The Fact specified that ARrC debuted on August 19, 2024, with the mini album “AR^C.” ³ ⁵

The timing means the group’s official run lasted approximately one year and ten months from the August 19, 2024 debut date to the June 23, 2026 end of activities. The Fact described the disbandment as coming after one year and ten months of activity, while other reports characterized it as arriving after about two years or less than two years since debut. ⁵ ⁶

Debut Context And Final Status

The disbandment notice closes ARrC’s official group chapter without announcing a transition to a new group format, temporary hiatus, or future collective project. The source material confirms the end of official activities and the members’ separate paths, but it does not provide individual career plans for Andy, Choi Han, Doha, Hyunmin, Jibin, Kien or Rioto.

Mystic Story’s announcement also places the focus on the members’ next steps rather than on a retrospective of the group’s releases. The available reports identify “AR^C” as the debut mini album and note the group’s position as Mystic Story’s first boy group, but they do not include a full discography, sales data, chart results, or future solo schedules. ⁵

The seven members are expected to continue separately, with the agency expressing support for their next beginnings after the conclusion of ARrC’s activities.
