He continued his activities by releasing the second single "Run Run Run" in 2021 and "Cloud 9" in 2022. In 2023, he held concerts and fan meetings in places such as Osaka, Japan, expanding his activities both domestically and internationally. However, after that, the group's activities slowed down, and eventually, members Junhyung, Jeong, and Sihoon re-debuted as part of a new group, Enerfive, effectively resulting in the disbandment of Fable.
