Kep1er is starting to work on a new album.
"Kep1er is preparing a new album," Wake One said in a phone call with "Dispatch" on the 3rd, adding, "We are discussing positively with each agency about extending the exclusive contract."
Previously, it was rumored that they would release their last album in May.
Kep1er made their debut in the survival program Mnet 'Girls Planet 999: Girl's Battle.' They signed a two-and-a-half-year team contract. Their contract is about to expire and Wake One is discussing an extension with each agency.
However, many fans have openly criticized Wake One over their management of the girl group, saying that they prioritize other groups.

this convinced me more that kep1er have become an experimemt and sacrificial lamb. out of all mnet-produced groups, they are the most mistreated and suffered a lot. fvck you, mnet, wakeone, and swing.

Meanwhile, Kep1er will release its first full-length Japanese album, "Kep1Going," in May. They hope to continue running towards his dreams.
