Flying Ari Trainees’ Group Disbands Before Debut, Lee Chaeyun Shares Letter

A girl group formed through JTBC’s trainee program Flying Ari has disbanded before making its debut. Lee Chaeyun, one of the trainees, shared a letter with an update about the group’s status and its disbandment.

Flying Ari followed nine female idol trainees as they prepared to debut. The program included 100 days of training and evaluation, guided by professional mentors. BABY V.O.X member Yoon Eunhye was among the mentors involved in the process.

Some participants had already gained public attention through earlier programs or other work. Chaeyun, for example, had worked as a child actress and appeared on Girls Planet 999. The show focused on the preparations and development involved in launching a girl group, but the team it followed has now ended its plans to debut.
