ARrC’s Journey and Abrupt Disbandment

ARrC debuted in August 2024 as a seven-member group with the mini album AR^C. The group saw two line-up changes, with their most recent release, “Skiid,” happening in November 2025. Despite their promising start and unique sound, the path for ARrC proved to be challenging, navigating the competitive K-Pop landscape with shifts in their lineup and the constant demands of the industry.

The group’s journey, unfortunately, came to an abrupt end, leaving many fans heartbroken.

However, in June 2026, the group was announced to have disbanded, surprising fans. Fans were also angry at the agency over how the group was handled, as well as the sudden nature of the disbandment. The news left many supporters heartbroken and critical of the management’s decision, especially given the suddenness of the announcement and the lack of clarity surrounding the reasons for the group’s dissolution. The abrupt ending to ARrC’s career left a lasting impression of disappointment among their dedicated fanbase.

Doha’s Distressing Instagram Update

As the members have gone on their own paths, a recent message from Doha has left many distressed. The former ARrC vocalist, who has been relatively quiet since the disbandment, recently broke his silence in a way that has deeply unsettled fans worldwide.

On June 7, Doha shared an Instagram update of a black screen and the text, “I don’t think I can become an idol anymore, even if I wanted to. I’m sorry.” This deeply personal and seemingly defeated message instantly resonated with fans, who quickly expressed their overwhelming worry for Doha’s well-being and future. The post paints a picture of immense struggle and emotional burden, hinting at a profound personal challenge.
