【ジュヨン】ジュヨンの本人メッセージ

AFTERSCHOOL及びジュヨンを応援頂いている皆様へ。

何から話せば良いのか正直とまどっています。

すごく驚いている方々にまずお詫びを申し上げます。
私ジュヨンはAFTERSCHOOLを卒業し、 新しいく挑戦することになりました。

AFTERSCHOOLに出会えて6年が経ちます。
振り返ってみれば沢山笑い、泣くこともあった時間でした。
一層成長し、強くなれたと思います。

新しく挑戦することになり、わくわくもしますが心配もあります。
今までみたいな形では一緒にいられませんが、これが永遠な別れだとは思っていません。

私に忘れられない時間をくれた皆様一人一人を心に刻み、いつまでも忘れません。

もっと成長する姿を見せれるように、待ってくださる皆様の期待に応じるように
これからも頑張ります。楽しみにしてください。

ありがとうございました。

"Hello, this is Jooyeon.

First I would like  to apologize to the people that is really surprised.

I have graduated After School to take a new challege.

6 years passed since I join AFTERSCHOOL. In retrospect I laughed a lot, and also cryed too. I will  grow, I think this will make me strong.
This is a new challenge, and Im exciting, but Im also a worry. Even though I will not be with the  members of After School and the beloved fans I don't think this is a forever farewell. To all those who gave me this time I will not forget you.

I will show you as I grow more, and I hope I can respond to the expectations of everyone who will be waiting.
I will do my best in the future. Please look forward .
Thank you all!

Jooyeon"

After School's Jooyeon to leave the group in January

According to Aju News.com, After School's Jooyeon will end contract with Pledis Entertainment this December 31th, and there is no interest of Jooyeon for renew contract.

So this means Jooyeon will leave After School and Pledis. The last activity of Jooyeon will be the tour in China with After School.

According to the report Jooyeon will pursue an actress career.

Disbandings goes on; Ara and Yoonjo leave Hello Venus.

According to a Tricell Media's announcement Ara and Yoonjo leave Hello Venus.

The Fantagio girls Alice, Nara, Lime and Yooyoung will continue in Hello Venus, but Pledis girls Ara and Yoonjo will go on with solo activities not revealed yet.

Fantagio and Pledis joined forces to create Hello Venus back in 2012 but due to "agencies desicion" the girls will continue activies with their respective agencies only from now on.

Thinking again this is not a big deal. All girls in Hello Venus are talented and can go on in solo or as a group (the 4 that left). Besides, its more than a year since the last Hello Venus single album, this news sure shocked the fans, but to be honest the group was so inactive that this news didnt shock so many fans really.

Good luck to the girls under Pledis and I hope we can see a new Hello Venus minialbum before the year ends. Im not worry about the depertures, im worry about a new release.

SERA to leave 9Muses. Also 9Muses to comeback on August with new member.

Why God? WHY?!!!

9Muses' Sera leaves the group due to end of contract according to an statement of Star Empire this June 24th (KST). Star Empire will search for a new member and 9Muses will make a comeback in August.

But... just one member? I mean... with the deperture of Sera now they are 6Muses.

9Muses started as 7 members group and later found 2 more members, but they dont even last 2 years as 9.
