Eunji Promises APINK Will Continue Group Activities
Jung Eun-ji expressed her joy for the other APINK members after they found a new company. The “Reply 1997” star shared an update on Weverse about the group’s future.
“Nothing has changed!! You don’t have to take it too seriously,” she wrote to PANDAs. “We’ll still be Apink in the future.”
APINK recently dropped their tenth EP ‘SELF’ and will continue to promote their new single “D N D”.
In related news, IST Entertainment recently announced that the VICTON maknae line has chosen not to renew their contracts with the company. Hanse, Byungchan, and Subin each shared their handwritten letters confirming their exit from the agency. Meanwhile, Seungwoo, Seungsik, and Sejun will complete their contracts with the agency. The hyung line’s contracts were moved to accommodate their military enlistment.
