Hamin Ki will engage with fans through the public trainee group 'MBK Trainee'.
Hamin Ki’s group, Airhood, has temporarily halted its debut preparations. On the 3rd, Modenberry Korea announced that they decided to pause the launch preparations to focus on training, aiming to enhance the overall quality of the group amid internal management changes. This decision prioritizes the long-term growth of the artists and the cohesiveness of the team. Currently, the company emphasizes that the members and trainees are engaged in strengthening their vocal and performance skills. They clarified that this step is not a dissolution or project termination but an internal adjustment phase, with future launch schedules and activity plans to be discussed once internal reorganization is completed. Hamin Ki will connect with the public through various content and activities as a member of the public trainee group 'MBK Trainee'.
The decision made by Hamin Ki’s group, Airhood, signifies a strategic readjustment rather than a mere halt. This operational review is perceived as a move to strengthen the group’s competitiveness amidst uncertain market conditions. The focus on training is not just about enhancing individual capabilities but fostering a cohesive unit that can deliver more compelling performances for fans. This phase is expected to positively influence the skill enhancement of the experienced trainees, contributing to the creation of a well-rounded team.
Additionally, as a member of 'MBK Trainee', Hamin Ki plans to continue engaging with fans through various content, which will serve as a stepping stone for his personal growth. Fans are likely to have heightened expectations for his dynamic and versatile activities in the future, which could positively impact not only Hamin Ki but also the entire Airhood team. As the launch schedule for Airhood is revisited, both fans and industry stakeholders are bound to express interest in the new vision and plans the team will present. Thus, this decision to pause can be interpreted as a strategic approach that allows both the artist and the fans to embrace a period of anticipation.
