Since TRCNG officially disbanded on March 28, 2022, the ten members have taken vastly different paths across the entertainment landscape and their personal lives. Some refused to give up on the stage, while others shifted behind the scenes or chose to completely step away from the public eye.
Following the group’s disbandment in 2022, Jihun signed with Wolfburn Entertainment 2 months later to continue his music career. He initially promoted in the project group APR Project before officially re-debuting as the leader and main vocalist of the boy group BXB in January 2023. During this time, he also competed on JTBC’s idol survival show Peak Time. Jihun maintained a close, protective bond with his fellow members through multiple single albums until BXB officially disbanded on June 6, 2026, due to contract expirations.
Hyunwoo also moved directly to Wolfburn Entertainment alongside Jihun, where he took on the major responsibilities of main dancer, lead rapper, and lyricist for BXB. While he had functioned as the temporary leader during their pre-debut APR Project phase, he focused heavily on his personal growth and anchoring the new group’s stage choreography during his second run in the industry. He remained dedicated to the lineup through all of their international schedules and final fan meetings up until BXB’s eventual disbandment in June 2026.
Siwoo stepped into the role of main rapper for BXB from 2023 through mid-2026, frequently utilizing his multilingual skills during international fan engagements. On a personal level, he remained one of the most private members, famously being the only one without a personal Instagram account at the time of TRCNG’s split. He has continued to keep his personal life strictly guarded away from the cameras even after BXB’s formal conclusion in June 2026.
After competing on the MBC survival show Extreme Debut: Wild Idol right before TRCNG’s end, Kangmin changed his promotional stage name to Hamin and re-debuted as the main vocalist and producer for BXB. He actively wrote and composed several of BXB’s early project tracks to help establish their sound. His agency had to step in legally in 2024 to defend him against false online rumors, showcasing the intense public scrutiny he navigated while continuing his music career. In February 2025, Hamin made his official acting debut, starring as Park Do-ha in the web drama Heart Stain. He heavily contributed to the show’s official soundtrack, showcasing his vocal talents by singing the solo track ‘It’s Time to SAY’ alongside two duet tracks, ‘Mirror’ and ‘Every Day’.
As the former leader who initially filed the child abuse lawsuit against TS Entertainment back in 2019, Taeseon faced a long road back to the industry. He signed with GGA in 2022, competed on the survival show Fantasy Boys, and briefly joined a pre-debut group called UNNAME before departing the lineup in February 2025 due to anxiety symptoms. He has been highly praised by fans for prioritizing his mental health and wellness, and he recently signed an exclusive contract with Studio BLOSSOM in November 2025 to restart his solo endeavors.
Hayoung chose to transition entirely behind the scenes to build a career as a professional K-pop music producer under the moniker Luke. He joined the prominent production team 13, contributing to tracks for major groups like GFriend, Golden Child, TO1, and JO1. After quietly completing his mandatory military service—having enlisted in September 2021—he signed with MonoTree agency in 2024 and kicked off his tenure by co-writing ‘Your Season’ track Build Up Mnet survival show’s finale. He also contributed to the composition and arrangement of ‘Love Child’ for tripleS’s landmark ASSEMBLE25 album, and production work for ONE PACT’s 2026 track ‘Sane’. Uniquely listed by MonoTree as both a singer and a songwriter, Luke continues to leverage his idol background by providing behind-the-scenes vocal production alongside his growing discography of compositions.
Jisung briefly contributed to independent, self-produced tracks with his former bandmates right around the time of TRCNG’s split, but he chose not to sign with a new entertainment label for idol promotions. Instead, he enlisted for his mandatory military service almost immediately following TRCNG’s formal disbandment announcement in late March 2022. Since completing his service, he has chosen to live a life out of the public spotlight.
Hohyeo initially made a brief musical appearance post-disbandment by featuring on former bandmate Kangmin’s APR Project digital single ‘Scene’ in late 2022. Hohyeon then pivoted into the acting world, making a major career return by starring as Eun-ho in the MBC Plus television drama My Idol, My Debut (2026). In the series, he plays a member of the fictional boy group ‘Boy To The Moon’ alongside fellow K-pop stars Lee Jin-hyuk (former UP10TION) and Lee Jin-gyu (former AWEEK). This project marks a brand new chapter for him in the television and drama landscape.
Wooyeop took a break from the entertainment industry after breaking free from his original contract and TRCNG’s disbandment. Having endured immense mental stress from the 2019 criminal whistleblowing lawsuit against TS Entertainment alongside Taeseon, Wooyep has mainatained a low profile and a life away from the spotlight.
Hakmin also took a break from the entertainment world after TRCNG’s disbandment. He did not participate in any subsequent idol groups, reality survival shows, or music production circles.
