[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

After just one year together, CHECKMATE has officially disbanded.

On December 17, CHECKMATE’s official YouTube channel posted the following statement in Korean:


"Hello, K-pop fans.

This is the content creator and manager of CHECKMATE’s YouTube channel.

First, I apologize for not having been able to produce new content for a long time.

CHECKMATE has disbanded following the end of their “YOU” promotions.

Each of the CHECKMATE members will greet you all with a new image through their individual activities.

Starting from January 2022, this channel will undergo a renewal and change into a channel that produces K-pop content.

We are currently exchanging opinions with the members about content promotions.

In January 2022, we will greet you together with the members as we actively produce new content.

Thank you."






The group only released two singles, "Drum" in September, 2020 and "You", in March 2021.
