Lexie Leaving Saint Satine: Everything You Need to Know About Lexie Levin’s Departure

The music world was caught by surprise this week as it was officially confirmed that Swedish singer Lexie Levin is no longer a part of the highly anticipated girl group, SAINT SATINE. The announcement, delivered by the powerhouse partnership of HYBE and Geffen Records (collectively known as HxG), marks a significant shift for the group ahead of their debut.

The Official Word from HxG

On July 13, the joint venture HxG released a statement via Weverse and various social media platforms, clarifying that the decision to part ways was mutual. The labels emphasized that the move came after “extensive and thoughtful discussions” regarding the future trajectory of the group.

Crucially, the statement also revealed that Lexie will not remain under the HxG umbrella as a solo artist, meaning she is completely severing ties with the labels to pursue her own path.

Who is SAINT SATINE?

For those following the journey, SAINT SATINE was designed to be a global powerhouse. The group’s roots are deeply tied to The Debut: Dream Academy—the same competition that birthed the sensation KATSEYE. The original lineup featured:

• Lexie Levin (Swedish vocalist)
• Emily Kelavos
• Samara Siqueira
• Tobi Sakura (Joined in May via World Scout: The Final Piece)

Despite the loss of Lexie, the group is still on track to make their official debut in 2026. Fans had already begun noticing red flags when promotional photos from a recent World Cup game in Los Angeles showed only three members, fueling the rumours that preceded this official announcement.

Lexie’s Heartfelt Message to Fans

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Lexie Levin shared a vulnerable and mature perspective on her exit. While she expressed gratitude for the vision HxG presented, she admitted that the alignment wasn’t perfect.

“HYBE x Geffen will always have a special place in my heart… 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.”

Lexie also highlighted that while their professional paths diverged, the bond with her teammates remains strong, calling Emily, Samara, and Sakura her “forever sisters.”

What’s Next for Lexie Levin?

If you think this is the end for the Swedish star, think again. Lexie teased a mysterious new chapter, hinting that her future debut will be different from what fans might expect. “I’m on my next adventure,” she wrote, leaving the door wide open for a solo project that could potentially shake up the pop scene.

As SAINT SATINE prepares for 2026 as a trio, the industry will be watching closely to see how this transition affects their sound and dynamic. Stay tuned for more updates on both the group and Lexie’s upcoming solo journey!
