BBGIRLS’s Minyoung shared her honest thoughts on Yoojung’s departure and how it impacted the group.

On January 31, BBGIRLS appeared on The Seasons - Lee Young Ji’s Rainbow, where they performed their hit songs “We Ride” and “Rollin’,” receiving a warm reception from the audience.

During the show, MC Lee Young Ji asked, “I’ve heard that after ‘Rollin,’ when you made your comeback as a 3-member group, you had a lot of concerns. What was on your mind?” Minyoung responded thoughtfully, saying, “When we reformed as a 3-member group, I was worried that the empty spot might be felt, and that became a burden.”

Minyoung tried to ease the tension with a joke, saying, “We came out a year ago as ‘BBGIRLS,’ and if we think about it, I guess we are a 5th-generation group now.”

Lee Young Ji playfully added, “Wait a second, when you say 5th-generation idols, that includes BabyMonster, NewJeans, RIIZE, and BBGIRLS.” Eunji and Yuna quickly apologized, making everyone laugh.

Minyoung also joked, saying, “We’re a 5th-generation group, but we have no friends. How do we make friends?” She continued, “We can buy meals and drinks for our 5th-generation friends. We also have cars, so we can give rides. Let’s become close. Let’s do challenges for our new song together!”

BBGIRLS made a big announcement last April, revealing that they were starting a new chapter under their own agency, BBGIRLS Company, after leaving Warner Music Korea. They also confirmed that Yoojung had left the group, and Minyoung, Eunji, and Yuna would continue as a three-member group.

The members of BBGIRLS are now facing the pressure of carrying on as a smaller group, but they remain excited and ready for their future together.
