After the news of their disbandment, PRISTIN members – like Nayoung, Siyeon, and Kyla – are reaching out to the disappointed fans through social media posts explaining the situation and asking for their continuous support.
On each of their personal Instagram accounts, now former PRISTIN members have shared how they feel about the disbandment, where they plan on going with their careers post the girl group, and ultimately, what they expect from the fans. Nayoung shared that she is “sorry that PRISTIN is no longer able to come together as one” but that she needs support in starting a new chapter in her life.
Translation: “Hello, this is Nayoung. I apologize that I have to share this bad news. I wanted to thank the fans and everyone else who were so supportive and loving throughout my promotion with PRISTIN. I am truly sorry that PRISTIN is no longer able to come together as one. Since 2011, Ive been with PLEDIS Entertainment. Now that I’ve left the agency, I’m preparing for a new chapter in my life. I’d like to also thank the PLEDIS family for having supported me endlessly while I was a part. I will never forget anyone who has encouraged me to this day. And I will work harder to become a better Nayoung. Please continue to support my fellow PRISTIN teammates who have been through so much thick and thin together. Where there is an end, there is a new beginning. PRISTIN may be over, but I’m just starting now. I hope you can find it in your hearts to continue supporting and encouraging me on my journey to become someone better. Thank you.”
Former member Siyeon also uploaded her statement on her Instagram, sharing that she was happy to have been a part of PRISTIN and to have been loved so much by her fans. Siyeon also encouraged the fans to continue looking out for her and all of PRISTIN’s members and follow their endeavors after the disbandment.
Translation: “Hello, this is Siyeon. I apologize I come sharing bad news. Throughout my 11 years at PLEDIS Entertainment and 2 years as a part of PRISTIN, I was really happy – thanks to my fans who remained so supportive all those years. PRISTIN ends here, but I will move forward and work on giving back the love that I received from the fans. Please continue to watch and support all the members’ new beginnings. I’m so sorry to have kept everyone waiting so long. Thank you so much for your patience and loyalty.”
Another member Kyla, who has not been active in promoting with the group since long before the disbandment, asked the fans “not to be upset and angry, but rather joyous of the memories that [they’ve] had together” in her long statement uploaded in English.
PRISTIN fans remain completely heartbroken at the news of the group’s disbandment, but as the members come forward with such apologetic statements, they are promising to stay supportive and excited for the members’ brighter futures.
