“I recall the time I spent as April Naeun for 7 years after debuting in August 2015 and the times with Pineapple (April’s fan club),” Naeun Lee said on April’s official fan café on the 28th. It’s tough to convey those moments in a single words since they’re both lovely and terrible.”
“Out of endless hours, the time I spent with the fans was incredibly priceless, and it gave me a lot and made me feel it with my whole body,” she concluded. It breaks my heart to have to break this news to you. “I also want to thank my members who have been with us for seven years,” she continued, “and I want our members to be genuinely pleased.”
“I will become a Naeun who matures and works one step farther,” she concluded. “Finally, I’d want to convey my heartfelt appreciation to Pineapple, who adored, supported, and loved April in every way. “Thank you,” she said at the end.
“After much discussion and thought, we and the members decided to break the team and go our own ways,” April’s agency DSP Media announced earlier today. We appeal for your help and interest in the six people who will go on a different route than April.”
April’s debut single, ‘Dreaming,’ was well-received for its simple and sweet premise. Despite their vigorous activities, The Group was able to raise awareness in the last two years thanks to the successful individual activities of members such as Naeun Lee and Jinsol Kim, but they were caught up in various rumours, such as the bullying controversy of former member Lee Hyun-joo, and their activities were suspended.
Here is the complete text of Naeun Lee
Hello. This is April’s Naeun. I recall the seven years I spent as April Naeun and the times I spent with Pineapple when I made my debut in August 2015. Those moments are so valuable and profound that expressing them in a single short article is challenging.
I was inexperienced because it was my first time doing anything, but I was able to dance and sing on stage because to her supporters’ invaluable support, and I was able to win and work hard. Among the many hours, the time I spent with the fans was really valuable, as it provided me with a great deal and made me feel it with my entire body.
It breaks my heart to have to break this news to you. I’d want to thank our members who have been with us for the past seven years, and I want them to be really pleased. In the future, I want to be a Naeun who continues to improve and seek for more. Finally, I’d want to convey my heartfelt appreciation to Pineapple, who has always appreciated, believed in, and adored April in all of her incarnations. Thank you very much.
