K-pop girl group Cignature has officially disbanded, marking the end of their journey after four years since debut. On December 3, C9 Entertainment announced the disbandment through the group’s official fan cafe, explaining that the decision was made following discussions with all members.

“We have confirmed through mutual discussions with the members that the disbandment of the group is necessary. As such, all exclusive contracts with the seven members of Cignature will be terminated regardless of the remaining contract period, and the group’s activities officially ceased as of November 30, 2024,” the company stated.

C9 Entertainment further expressed gratitude to the members for their dedication despite facing numerous challenges and extended apologies to fans for the unexpected news. “We sincerely thank the members for their commitment as part of Cignature. We also apologize to the fans for delivering this sudden news and ask for your warm support as the members begin their new journeys in various fields,” the statement concluded.

Cignature debuted in February 2020 under J9 Entertainment, a subsidiary of C9 Entertainment, with their single 'NUN NU NAN NA.' Initially a seven-member group, the team underwent several lineup changes over the years. In 2021, original members Ye Ah and Sunn departed, and new members Chloe and Dohee joined, restoring the group to seven members. However, Chloe’s departure earlier this year reduced the group to six members.

Despite navigating through multiple member transitions, Cignature ultimately decided to disband, allowing each member to pursue individual paths after four years together.

Full Official Statement from C9 Entertainment:


"Hello, This is C9 Entertainment.
