Did the boyband V Factory break up?

V Factory is an R&B/pop boyband and I love them.Lovestruck, She Bad, These Are The Days, and Round and Round are probably their most famous songs.I read they broke up online but I was wondering if anyone might know if they for sure aren't together anymore.Is Asher Book going to start a solo singing career? He was the lead singer in the group.Also I'm a huge fan of multiple boybands and I was wondering if there are any new pop/R&B ones.I know about One Call, NLT, and Varsity Fanclub.Are there any old ones that are really good besides Nsync, BSB, 98 Degrees, or Westlife? If you could answer any of my questions I would greatly appreciate it.Thank you so much!
