1TEAM's disbandment was one of the unfortunate news in 2021, especially to the group's fans. After only two comebacks, the members and agency have gone their separate ways. Now that it's almost a year since then, where could the 1TEAM members be now?
Read on to find out the different careers that Rubin, Jehyun, BC, Junghoon, and Jinwoo have pursued after parting ways.
About K-pop Boy Group 1TEAM
1TEAM is the first idol group to debut under Liveworks Company, which currently houses soloists Shin Hye Sung and Lee Min Woo and formerly managed SHINHWA's Dongwan. Before their debut, members Rubin and BC are already familiar faces in the entertainment industry as they previously competed in YG Entertainment's "MIXNINE" and CJ E&M's "BOYS24."
On March 27, 2019, the five-piece band released their first mini-album "Hello!" which features the title song "Vibe." They also held a debut showcase at the K-Art hall in the Olympic Park on the same day.
1TEAM then launched two more mini-albums in the same year. They dropped their second mini-album "Just" on July 11, marking their first comeback. They returned on Nov. 6 with their third mini-album One, which became their final album and marked their last comeback as a group.

On March 10, 2021, Liveworks Company announced 1TEAM's disbandment. They said that they have terminated the members' exclusive contract with them. They didn't specify the reason for their decision.
As expected, fans of 1TEAM, who are generally called TEAM ONE, were saddened to hear that the boys will no longer carry out activities as a group. Many fans expressed their disappointment and sorrow on Twitter.
