Please refer to the complete statement provided below:

“Hello. This is EgoENT.

We would like to thank everyone for giving their unwavering support to VVUP, as they were able to complete their ‘Ain’t Nobody’ promotions successfully. We want to express our sincere gratitude to our fans once again.

Moving forward, we would like to apologize for delivering unfortunate news to our fans. Ever since their pre-debut in March, the group has been working non-stop, and group leader Hyunny would no longer be able to work with VVUP as a member due to health reasons.

Throughout her career, Hyunny has been trying to regain her health. We had a careful discussion with Hyunny regarding the continuation of her activities, but after much deliberation, Hyunny decided to focus on her recovery.

Once again, we apologize to the fans who may have been surprised by the sudden news. Hyunny’s activities as a VVUP have come to an end, but we would appreciate your continued support for Hyunny in her journey to regain her health.

Additionally, the agency and the three members of VVUP also send our unstinting support and encouragement to Hyunny. VVUP will continue its activities as a three-membered group in its future schedules, and specific activities will be announced at a later time.

Furthermore, VVUP will do its best to show even more activities and their improved sides. We ask for your continued love and support.

Thank you.”

VVUP made their debut as a group of four, consisting of Hyunny, Kim, Paan, and Suyeon. The initial quartet dropped their debut digital single “Locked On”on April 1, followed by their second digital single “Ain’t Nobody”on July 3.

This is how fans responded to their return:

“These girls need to get a proper promotion like they are so talented.”

“I think the agency is already quite generous in promoting the group.”

“The MVs and wardrobe look great, and the group has been consistently performing in music shows since their debut. The agency is new, so give them time to gain more supporters.”

“How beautiful this MV is, the song, lyrics, voice, VVUP have everything in K-pop.”

“BLINK and MONSTIEZ here. This song is so addictive! I will always support them.”

“Now I kinda get their sound. Their songs stand out compared to their peers in their gen.”

“I hope they continue with this and hope they’ll go viral. VVUP fighting!”

Sending my best wishes to Hyunny for success in all her future endeavors!
