Amid internal leadership changes, rookie group AIRHUNDRED — which includes Min-gi Ha, widely known as the nephew of a famous tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) franchise founder — has shockingly paused its debut.
On the 3rd, agency Modenberry Korea announced, "During a comprehensive operational review prompted by changes in our management team, we decided to temporarily halt the group's launch preparations and focus on training to further elevate AIRHUNDRED's overall completeness."
The agency added that the decision accompanies a restructuring of its business operations and prioritizes the artists' long-term growth and the team's polish, noting, "Current candidate members and trainees are concentrating on training to strengthen vocals, performance, and individual skill sets."
They stressed, "This is not a disbandment or a project shutdown but an internal adjustment phase for a more solid debut," adding that the group's launch schedule and activity plans will be revisited once internal reorganization is complete.
Meanwhile, Min-gi Ha is part of Modenberry Korea's public trainee unit MBK Trainee and has been preparing to debut in AIRHUNDRED. He drew attention after it became known that he is the grandson of a famous tteokbokki brand founder, earning him the nickname the "tteokbokki silver spoon."
