Candy Shop’s Member Change Sparks Controversy— Yuina Temporarily Steps Back For THIS Reason

Brave Entertainment, the company responsible for Candy Shop, has made a major alteration to the roster of their upcoming girl group. Yuina, a member of Candy Shop, will be taking a temporary hiatus from her activities due to health concerns.

The agency stated, “We had an in-depth discussion with Yuina regarding this, and after careful consideration, we decided to temporarily suspend activities out of respect for the artist’s opinion.”

This choice was made a mere two months following Candy Shop’s first appearance.

Despite Yuina’s absence, Candy Shop intends to move forward as a group of four by bringing in new members. The agency made it clear that Yuina will not be involved in any upcoming scheduled events.
