“It has been confirmed that 365YEAR is not disbanding, but that two of the members will leave the group before the repackage album is being released and promoted. The two girls leaving are Sunah (real name; Han Youngri) and Byul (real name; Jung Jooyeon). SM Entertainment have released a statement over why the girls are leaving. With the two girls leaving, the group are back down to four members again as well as a new maknae, which is Taenah.

‘The reason why Sunah is leaving is because she want to focus on school, whatever she wants to come back into the industry again after finishing school is not yet confirmed. And Byul’s choice to leave is that she wants to focus on her acting, and instead of always being away form the group while they are promoting she have decided that leaving would be the better.

With this decision made the group is going back to it’s original plan, with the members presenting a season again. Everyone will represent the season they did when debuting, as Taenah’s season will be Winter. Though her stage name will not be changed.

Please look forward to the girl comeback in a few days with their repackage album and the beginning of their ‘Scandal & Hit U’ promotion this Friday.’

The fans and netizens reactions to this have been mixed, some are wondering if Sunah’s reason, that she wants to focus on school is real or if her leave has something to do with the scandal with Onew. Well all I can say that I wish the best of luck to both Han Youngri and Jung Jooyeon in the future.”
