The news came as a surprise to many, including their fans, since the announcement comes a bit over a year after Joel Pimentel shared his departure from the boy band on May 9, 2021

Billboard was able to catch up with the remaining CNCO members just a day before they would break the news at the awards show.

“We are feeling nervous but at the same time, we feel excited, anxious,” Colon exclusively tells Billboard. Adding that the decision to split was amicable.

“We always thought that if we split, it had to be natural, and that’s how it happened,” De Jesus elaborates.

Although the group announced its split, CNCO will continue for another year and a half, promising more new music, an album, a tour, and their upcoming series on Disney+.
