The news came as a shock to fans and fellow group members alike, as Yuina announced her temporary departure from Candy Shop just two months after debut.
While the reasons for her hiatus have not been revealed, Brave Entertainment has assured fans that they will continue to produce music and perform, with a new member set to join the lineup in the coming weeks.
The agency confirmed that Candy Shop will be welcoming a new member to continue their musical journey and activities without interruption as a four-member group.
Following careful consideration, the agency has decided to respect Yuina’s wishes and temporarily suspend her activities. As a result, Yuina will not be participating in any upcoming scheduled events or activities.
Candy Shop debuted on March 27 with their first EP Hashtag#, introducing members Soram, Sui, Sarang, and Yuina to the music scene.
The group boasts a diverse lineup, comprising three Korean members (Soram, Sui, and Sarang) and one Japanese member (Yuina).
The name “Candy Shop” symbolizes the group’s mission to provide a variety of musical treats, much like a candy store offers a diverse range of sweets.
Lastly, the agency, Brave Entertainment, has kept the identity and details of the new member under wraps for now, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the reveal.
