The official statement from Jellyfish
In a letter that was posted on Gugudan’s fan cafe, Jellyfish confirmed that the group will no longer promote together. The disbandment will take effect tomorrow, and this news could really be shocking for the fans who have been supporting the team since its debut four years ago.
As translated by Koreaboo, part of the statement from the agency regarding Gugudan’s break up reads: “Gugudan, who have been working hard and have been well-loved since their debut, will be ending official group activities on December 31.”
Jellyfish continues, “After a series of long and in-depth discussions between the company and the artists, we have agreed to end the group activities.”
The agency said that although Gugudan will no longer promote as a group, they will try their best to provide support to each of the members. It was shared that some of them will now focus on their solo activities as singers or actresses.
Jellyfish Entertainment also thanked everyone for supporting Gugudan and apologized for the sudden news. In any case, Gugudan has been inactive for two years, and the lack of activities is the main reason for the girl group’s disbandment.
