We had all decided that after 2018 if we still didn’t grow financially we’d disband but thankfully we’re still here to this day and are continuing to perform for our Crystalines and for the world”.

We want you all to sit back and listen to some good music during these trying times and while the stress is sometimes unbearable for you to come back to these videos here and know that we made these in mind for you to relax.”	”

All nine members of EMERGE released statements on the groups page addressing the hiatus:

"We've been thinking of this long and hard since we renewed our contracts last year, and after talking about it with each other and with the company, we all agreed that this hiatus is needed for not only the group but for us as individuals as well, trust in when we say that this is something we all feared ever saying but please believe in us when we say that we will comeback as 9 once more, stronger then ever"

“When we first started discussions of our hiatus, we all wanted to see what we could do to prevent this situation, but after talking about it with everyone and our team, also the topic of our military enlistments and so we wanted to make sure that we did our enlistments diligently as well.”

“Ahh we’ve been active for the past eight years, time really flies huh, in regards to our hiatus, at first we didn’t really know what we should or could say, when we began planning for our last album we wanted to make sure that it was the best album since this would be our last album for a while and we wanted to make sure that our fans had a good album to listen too while are on hiatus.”

“Truthfully, it was our idea when it came to making this concert as our final stage before our hiatus, I think all of us in EMERGE all knew that this tour and concert upcoming would be one of the last few ones we’d be performing for a while as nine, so we made sure that we gave each performance we did the utmost perfection for our Crystalines.”

“When we finished the final plans for our hiatus, we made sure that our dear Crystalines would not go without so we made sure that we have songs, content, videos and some one-on-ones for our fans during this time, and we hope that this could lessen the burden in their hearts during this hiatus.”

"When we first started talking about our post group activities late last year we all talked about how we needed to stand on our own for a bit to truly develop not only as a group but as artists and individuals as well, some of us want to adventure into solo activities while others want to take a resting period as well" "We do have a few pre-recorded songs that will be planned for release after our hiatus begins but those songs will only be released with no current plans of performing them for a while."

“Our hiatus…. It’s something that we started talking about sometime in 2021 or was it 2022? We had a lot of talks between us and the company regarding it honestly because we wanted to make sure that we did this right and not insensitively, and we hope that our fans can understand this, and that this is something that is the best for us as a group.”

“News of our hiatus came out today, truthfully I have been upset about this for a while, because EMERGE has been something I have been with for eight years, and something I was training for since I was 13, but as I sat on it, I understood that this is something that we need for our group, and something that will help strengthen our group and make us better when we come back, so please our dear Crystalines, wait for us”

"For most of us, the group is something we have only ever known, a lot of us have been trained for this group since we were all really young so this hiatus will also allow us to explore our other interests and talents as well."

"Our companies first sons have recently revealed to the public their intent on going into a hiatus today, when they informed us last year about this, the company was also shocked, but after having several months of discussing it, we all came to an agreement that this is something that will help them in the long run. We at Blair Entertainment would like to say thank you to those that have supported us and EMERGE after all these years, and we also hope that you all can look forward to the new EMERGE that will come after this hiatus."

On October 23, the group released their fifth studio album E井 with the leading song being Puzzle.

Pre-Release sales for their album was once again met with staggering numbers, with it having been reported that on October 13, the groups pre-orders for the album sold upwards to 5.2 Million in pre-orders. The reception to the album from its teasers was met with positive reception, with each teaser trending for several hours afterwards along with the hashtag #MAKEYOURDREAMEMERGE along with it.

On November 30, the group will held their autumn concert EMERGE Grand Festival -New Beginnings, Same 9 Boys-.

They then all decided to have blue but in different shades as their member colors.
Eunjin revealed that during the first year the group would get on each others nerves easily due to their small living situation, but as they continued as a group they have since became a close family.
- He also revealed that their parents have a group chat as well where their parents all keep tabs on each other and gossip.
Since the nine of them were some of the companies very first trainees, all of them were picked and scouted by Blair Entertainment's CEO Bae Jungyeol himself.
As of July 1, 2021, the members all live in their own apartments
During the 2019-2022 period of the group, fans were worried about how busy the group was, from albums, concerts etc, and had originally trended #PROTECTEMERGE. Eunjin and Jiheon talked about it in a live stream where they both admitted that the group liked being really busy and didn't like waiting around doing nothing, where even the members would personally ask for more comebacks and stuff to do. Their CEO Bae Jungyeol also revealed that he had them sign an American singer contract and got them working on Melted, thinking that they'd be overwhelmed by it but was surprised when they came back to him after they were done its promotions asking when they could release another English song.
Their first 4 mini albums: Act I: Garnet, Act II: Opal Act III: Pearl and Act IV: Red Beryl all featured the same album design, but as of Act V: Lapis Lazuli, each album had different designs to each album.
