Yujeong has opened up about her decision to leave BB GIRLS in a heartfelt letter to her fans.

On April 24, Yujeong took to social media to share a letter addressing her recent departure from BB GIRLS, which has since reformed as a trio. She wrote, "Hello, this is Yujeong. After much thought, I've decided to share this message. As of April, my contract with Warner Music Korea has ended, and I will no longer be part of BB GIRLS but will continue as Nam Yujeong. I want to express my gratitude and apologies to those who've always supported and cared for me, including FEARLESS and Bbees."

Yujeong went on to say, "We've made many promises together. Although I can't share everything, I've decided to conclude something I've been contemplating for a long time, albeit abruptly. From the beginning, I've been filled with fear and worry, scared of causing harm to someone. At the same time, I'm afraid of facing it alone. However, starting today, I'll leave my cherished past behind and focus on the next step that I must value and love."

The former BB GIRLS member concluded, "I'm grateful to Warner Music and the members who've stood by me. I'll always sincerely support the future of BB GIRLS that Minyoung, Eunji, and Yuna will shape. Lastly, I'm always here. Please don't worry. I truly, truly thank and love you all."

Stay tuned for more updates on Yujeong and BB GIRLS.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
