P-pop idol PAN has officially departed from his previous group, 1621.
The news was announced through a joint statement posted by ABS-CBN Music, PPL Entertainment, and Star Pop on their official pages, wherein they announced that they have cut their professional connection with one of 1621’s PAN (born Francis John Rosas), effective immediately.
Read their joint statement below:
“Star Pop, PPL Entertainment Inc., and ABS-CBN Music Management Group jointly announce the conclusion of their professional connection with Francis John Rosas, aka PAN of 1621, effective immediately. This decision was mutually arrived at by all parties involved.
We are proud of the work we have achieved with PAN. We bid him good luck on his future endeavors. JM, JC, Win, Migz and DJ will continue pursuing the collective goal of delivering relatable songs reflecting the personal journeys of today’s audiences.
AdvertisementJM, JC, Win, Migz, and DJ, will continue their P-Pop journey as 1621.”
Though no official reasons or details were shared with regards to the conclusion of the label’s professional connection with PAN, this decision was mutual among all parties — with the P-pop group’s other members, JM, JC, Win, Migz, and DJ, still set to continue on as a group.
Just a few months back, the entire group attended Billboard Philippines‘ P-Pop Rising class party, and they also released their second extended play, Sapulso, earlier this April 2025. The record comprised a total of six tracks, two of which have been pre-released — “Bagamundo” and “Bababa.”
As we anticipate what lies ahead for 1621 moving forward from PAN’s departure, revisit their recent EP, Sapulso, below:
