Starship Entertainment announced Rei’s temporary hiatus in April. The IVE rapper then assured her fans in a sweet letter that she shared on the group’s fan cafe.
“After I became a member of IVE, I diligently ran with the best five members hand in hand. Those who were always with me during happy and sad times were the members and DIVE. I have to halt for now but I am putting in the effort so that this time for myself isn’t meaningless,” she wrote.
Rei added, “I think about DIVE and the members every day. I want to know what you guys are doing, if you guys ate, or if there was anything interesting. Because you are all my most precious friends and family.”
IVE is currently promoting their first Japanese EP ‘Wave’ and its title track of the same name which was released on May 9, 2023.
