Just two months after their debut, Candy Shop, the fresh-faced girl group from Brave Entertainment, is already making headlines with a surprise member change.

On May 9th, Brave Entertainment dropped the bombshell news: "Our girl Yuina is taking a break from Candy Shop due to health issues. We've had some serious heart-to-hearts with Yuina about this. After giving it a lot of thought, we've decided to respect her wishes and put her activities on hold for now."

But that's not all. The company added, "Yuina won't be joining us for the upcoming schedules. But don't worry, Candy Shop isn't going anywhere. We're keeping the beat going as a four-member group and bringing in a new face."

Candy Shop, made up of Soram, Sui, Sarang, and Yuina, burst onto the scene on March 27 under the guidance of Brave Brothers. They've been in the spotlight since their pre-debut days as Brave's first new girl group in 13 years, following Brave Girls.

Yuina, the only Japanese member and a sub-vocalist of the group, has decided to step back despite being the newest addition to the team. It's a bittersweet moment for Candy Shop, but we're excited to see what the future holds for them.
