Following the speculations that Soyeon was hinting at leaving the company, she issued a statement on her own Instagram account.
My first thoughts are always to make people happy, and my second is to see what I can do to make our team happier. Sometimes, there might be some challenging moments and some projects that don’t receive a positive response. But I have never intentionally lied or caused harm to anyone or done something without conscience.
So, for this performance, I did not lie or hide it from the company. I performed this in front of the company tons of times during rehearsal, and it is a stage that we made together.
As we have gone through so many things in the past ten years, I don’t have bad feelings towards the company as the media portrays it. Words can mean totally different things, even if one little thing is said wrong.
However, I do think it was an opportunity to feel the company’s lack of response. I will also work hard so that we can grow together. I hope that I was able to take away some of the worry and uncomfortable emotions you may have had.
I will work harder so that you don’t have to worry, Neverland! I’m always sorry, thankful, and I love you!
