Hyoeun’s Thoughts on Stellar’s Disbandment
Stellar surprised fans by declaring their disbandment. Through a telephone connection with Star News in February 2018, Hyoeun also had time to discuss the dissolution of the group she was working with. “I do not feel depressed, I have prepared if the group disbanded even before the news came out,” said Hyoeun, and then she told more about the group. “Before the Chinese New Year, we rested. At the end of January, the label told us that Stellar might disbanded.” “After Yulhee and Gayoung left the label in August 2017, Stellar has entered our schedule as 4 members of the group with our new members, Soyoung and Youngeun. We got two new members, so we will continue as Stellar,” she continued. “We had a break after our latest album, but we didn’t even think about the possible disbandment of Stellar. Hearing from our label that we would disband, we hurriedly prepared fan meeting.” “We do not have friction between members. But it is rather awkward because there are new members, but we became closer after conducting a joint schedule after August 2017,” said Hyoeun, and then revealed the difficulties experienced by Stellar. “We are having a hard time on our label. We disagree with the direction of our problem, and have friction with the label, as usual.” “Stellar has a special place in my heart, so this decision is disappointing, but it is a decision that comes after a lot of thought,” Hyoeun said. “After the news, I haven’t been able to contact the CEO.” “I haven’t decided anything, I hear Yulhee and Gayoung are preparing to become actresses, I really want to continue singing, and I want to try musicals,” she concluded when asked about her future career. “I have almost no individual activities, so I want to try it, I can’t decide on new labels easily, so I want to take the time and think about it deeply.”
