Kep1er member Xiaoting will be going straight into full group activities after her contract with her Chinese agency expired.

Xiaoting recently had her exclusive contract with her Chinese agency expire, and she has been actively discussing her future activities with Kep1er‘s agency WakeOne and Klep Entertainment. Above all, with her strong will and the active support of Kep1er’s agency, she was able to join the group Kep1er right away.

It has been reported that Kep1er‘s agencies WakeOne and Klep Entertainment have been providing both material and spiritual support so that Xiaoting can pursue both individual activities in China and group activities with Kep1er.

In addition, Xiaoting has been with Kep1er, which has recently become a stronger seven-member group, so she quickly joined the team, showing her affection.

Accordingly, Xiaoting will appear with the full Kep1er lineup at the ‘2024 Super Sound Festival-Macao’ to be held at The Venetian Arena on the 18th. Going forward, Kep1er plans to create opportunities to meet Chinese fans more often while promoting.

Last year, Kep1er received favorable reviews for being completely upgraded in all areas from music to style with their 6th mini-album, ‘TIPI-TAP’, and proved their popularity by hitting various real-time music charts, topping domestic music shows, and entering the US Billboard 200 chart at 147th place.

Kep1er has been active in various domestic and international events such as the ‘2024 KBS Song Festival Global Festival’ and the ‘2025 Superstar Hongbaek Entertainment Awards’ at the end and beginning of the year, and will be holding the ‘2025 Kep1er FAN CON TOUR BEYOND THE STAR in SEOUL’ on February 15th and 16th at the Sungshin Women’s University Unjeong Green Campus Grand Auditorium in Seoul and embarking on their first global fancon tour.
