[Notice] Important SAINT SATINE Update
Jul 13, 20:00
Hello, this is HXG.
Thank you everyone for your love and support for SAINT SATINE.
Following extensive and thoughtful discussions with Lexie regarding the group's future activities, both parties have mutually agreed to part ways.
While Lexie will no longer continue as a member of SAINT SATINE or as part of
HXG, we sincerely wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
We kindly ask for your continued support for SAINT SATINE's upcoming
activities, and HXG will continue to put our full support behind the
group's path to debut.
Thank you.

Levin herself shared on her Instagram Story a farewell message.

Hi, Lexie here!
When I joined Project SAINT SATINE, I truly believed it was the right place for me. I was excited by the presented vision and future plans we were going to be working towards together.
HYBE x Geffen will always have a special place in my heart. I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunities they've given me and the lessons I've learned from them. But now we have come to the mutual decision
that this is the right time for us to move forward separately. While it feels heavy-hearted, I have found peace in that some things in life aren't destined. I have nothing but respect and appreciation for the team, but we have different ways of operating, and that's okay!
Keep supporting SAINT SATINE!! Emily, Samara and Sakura are my forever sisters. We will always support each other and want the best for each and every one of us!
Now I'm on my next adventure! My debut and future might look different than what you expected but stay tuned! I'm not done yet < 33
Thank you so much for your support, I love you!
//Lexie

Levin first became involved with Hybe x Geffen in 2023 under the television program "The Debut: Dream Academy," which was a reality show made to select future members of the global girl group KATSEYE. Representing Sweden, she finished at 14th place due to voluntary withdrawing from the program.

Alongside fellow "Dream Academy" members Samara Siqueira (Brazil) and Emily Kelavos (United States), Levin entered a new Hybe x Geffen girl group under the placeholder name Prelude in 2025. A fourth member, Sakura Tobi, joined in May 2026 after winning the "World Scout: The Final Piece" reality show. The show aimed to recruit a Japanese member to Prelude. The group officially renamed itself to SAINT SATINE the same day that Tobi was selected.

SAINT SATINE is expected to officially debut later this year.
