While WJSN’s Sora and Eunseo announced that they would be leaving STARSHIP Entertainment, they conveyed their feelings. Sora posted a handwritten letter on her Instagram today (the 17th), revealing, “I have come to leave STARSHIP Entertainment, which I have walked together with for 15 years, and to make a new start.” She then looked back, saying, “During the long period of 15 years, there was truly so much to learn, and there were days when I was happy and days when my heart was full, and days when things did not go as I wanted and I was sad, but through all of that time I learned many things and was able to grow. And I think all of that time made me who I am now,” and expressed her gratitude to STARSHIP Entertainment and the fans. She said, “Starting to walk a new path is also unfamiliar and nerve-racking for me, but I want to move forward step by step, with sincerity, at my own pace. I want you to warmly watch over my new start that will continue from here as well. I will greet you again with an even more wonderful appearance,” and spoke of her determination. Eunseo also released a message through her Instagram. She looked back, saying, “In 2012, as a trainee of STARSHIP Entertainment, from the day I first opened the company’s door and entered the practice room, dreaming of debut, sometimes becoming exhausted and then standing up again, there were 14 years as WJSN’s Eunseo and as actress Son Juyeon until I became who I am now.” She continued, “Because many memories of my youth remain at STARSHIP and King Kong by STARSHIP, it was not easy to firmly decide to leave there. There were fun moments and painful moments, but I think that because of all of those times, I am who I am now.” And she said, “Since I am leaving a place where I have spent a long time and become accustomed, I also have a fearful feeling, but I am looking forward to and excited about the time I will build anew from here. While cherishing the time up to now and engraving it in my heart, I think I will walk my next new path. I will not forget the precious feelings and love of the fans who always love and support me, and I will always be grateful, and I will greet you with wonderful activities from here on.” STARSHIP Entertainment announced the termination of Sora and Eunseo’s contracts today. “We want to keep all the moments we spent together and the precious memories engraved in our hearts forever. We sincerely support Sora and Eunseo, who are preparing for a new departure, so that happiness and good things will overflow in all of their future steps,” it revealed. ・WJSN Sora & Eunseo’s contracts with STARSHIP Entertainment expire...
