K-pop girl group GFRIEND confirms disbandment after leaving their agency Source Music.
Korean girl group GFRIEND has confirmed they are disbanding after officially separating from their music agency Source Music, a subsidiary of Big Hir Entertainment.
All six members of the group, Eunha, Yerin, Sowon, Yuju, Umji, and SinB chose to not renew their contracts. On May 19, the girls uploaded their individual handwritten letters about their disbandment.
Soompi translated the girls' letters which were uploaded on WeVerse.
Eunha mentioned in her letter that "Regardless of where or how, I plan on working towards being able to keep singing. I will do my best to repay the fond memories I have with you all."
Yerin wrote, "In the future, I will not forget these memories and live while working hard. Thank you for giving me such cool memories in my twenties. I loved you and will continue to love you lots."
Sowon said, "Although GFRIEND has officially ended, this is not the end for us, so don't have too hard of a time."
Yuji remained optimistic that things will work out in the end. "To make sure this ending doesn't end in sadness, I will continue to show myself moving forward in the future."
Umji thanked Source Music and all its staff for taking care of them: "Lastly, to the Source Music employees and the many staff members who worked tirelessly for GFRIEND over the past six years! Thank you very much for all our precious relationships, both short and long."
SinB got sentimental and said that sharing her time with GFRIEND was her happiest moment. "All my memories from the past six years were the happiest times that cannot be replaced with anything else."
