Right after GRACE announced of their comeback later this January, it seems a member is leaving the group. That's right, it was announced a few minutes ago that Yu.A will take her leave from the group. Pledis Entertainment CEO, Hang Sungsoo told us that Yu.A has been thinking about it since before the new year and she was having discussions to him about whenever to stay or leave GRACE. Yu.A left this message on GRACE's official Facebook;

"It is Yu.A again. I know many were wondering why I left that message on Instagram... But now its time to tell everyone what I decided on what to do. I have decided to take my leave from GRACE. The decision isn't the easiest, but I decided that I wanted to concentrate on school more then a idol life. Also I don't think I can handle the idol life right now, I want to experience a high school life without being a idol in the way. I know this is bad timing as GRACE was supposed to have a comeback, but whenever GRACE come back, I hope you all support them to your fullest. I'm sorry to everyone..."

This is very sudden news to hear from the young group. With Yu.A taking leave, GRACE is down to five members until member Céline returns to the scene. Pledis Entertainment has left this statement;

"We know this is sudden and unexpected news but we respect Yu.A's decision and we hope you do to. So with this unexpected leave, GRACE's comeback will be pushed back a few weeks back; as the girls never even filmed the MV yet, so change of choreography is need to be done first before anything else is done. We hoped to return the girls this month, but it seems GRACE may make a comeback in early February. We hope even with Yu.A's leave that the fans will welcome the girls will open arms in February."  

We must respect Yu.A's decision in leaving GRACE as a idol life is never easy. As Pledis Entertainment said, please support these young girls no matter when they make a comeback and to give support to Yu.A as well.
