Yesterday (June 20), Dajeong announced on her personal Instagram that she has “finished my activities” as a member of PIXY, while expressing her gratitude towards fans who have “supported us and given us your love” over the past years. “Thank you all, so very, very much, from the bottom of my heart,” she added.
“Until the writing of this letter, I was unable to communicate my status to you all, and I know it must have been frustrating waiting for an update,” the K-pop idol continued. “This may be news that many of you already suspected, and delivering it to you in this way is heartbreaking, heavy, and I am so sorry I was unable to say anything sooner.”
Dajeong then described her time as a member of PIXY as “unforgettable and irreplaceable”, adding that she has “learned and grew up so much with you all” since making her debut as part of the group. “I will do my best to deliver good news going forward as quickly as possible,” she wrote.
The departure of Dajeong from PIXY has stirred up more concerns from fans that the group might have disbanded, with many noting that the band have not be active on most of their social media accounts since late-2024 or early-2024.
The group’s last release was their October 2023 digital mini-album ‘The Voice’. Following that release, PIXY also went on a 12-date Europe tour called ‘Last Night in the Dark City’, with shows in London, Paris and more.
Miley Cyrus has joined a new record label following her departure from Sony Music’s Columbia Records.
The 33 year old singer and songwriter has agreed to a fresh deal with Atlantic Records, the company officially announced.
The label shared the news on its official Instagram account, writing: "Welcome to the family @mileycyrus [white heart emoji]"

The Hannah Montana star launched her recording career at Disney’s Hollywood Records, where she released three albums, before putting out another four records through RCA.
She later signed with Columbia Records in 2021.
Celebrating the agreement at the time, Miley uploaded a photo of herself holding the contract and wrote on her Instagram Story: "WHEN IM NOT RUNNING GAME. IM RUNNING MY MF BUSINESS. LET’S RIDE. (sic)"
During her time with the company, Miley released two albums, Endless Summer Vacation and Something Beautiful.
Only a few days before Something Beautiful arrived on May 30th, 2025, Miley revealed that her next project would take a much more "extremely experimental" direction.
According to Rolling Stone magazine, she offered fans a preview of her future plans during an event at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood.
Speaking to the intimate audience, she said: "My next album is about to be extremely experimental, so have fun with that.
"Something Beautiful is just the appetizer."
Following the release of the title track Something Beautiful, Miley suggested the project represented "another bold artistic evolution" in her musical journey.
A message posted to her Instagram account stated: "Miley’s second song and video release ‘Something Beautiful’, the title track off of the forthcoming album explores her deep connection to fashion showcasing an original custom design by Casey Cadwallader for the House of Mugler in the visual.
"This era marks another bold artistic evolution for Miley, blending music and film into an immersive experience."
Miley had earlier revealed that Pink Floyd’s The Wall helped shape the inspiration behind the album.
Speaking with Harper's Bazaar, she explained: "My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.
"It’s a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.
"I would like to be a human psychedelic for people. I don’t want anyone trying to be like me or imitate me or even be inspired by me. I want to impact frequencies in your body that make you vibrate at a different level."
