この度は突然のご報告となってしまい、申し訳ありません。
過去の自分の行動で未熟な部分があり、今回Pretty Chuuから離れる形となりました。
これまで傍で支えてくださったファンの皆さま、メンバーやゆりにゃさん、スタッフさんに心から感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。… https://t.co/u3a0mv95kE— 白愛ゆあ(Pretty Chuu) (@Yua_Pchuu) January 18, 2026
Social media star Yurinya produced Pretty Chuu as an idol group that “embodies the ‘strength,’ ‘transience,’ ‘innocence,’ and ‘pure maiden heart’ of girls.” Pretty Chuu made their stage debut on June 16 as a six-member group.
