Hello, this is Yuji.
My contract with GH Entertainment, which I’ve been with for a long time, has come to an end.
I’m so happy to have met such beautiful members and shared dreams together. I’m grateful to the precious fans who have always been by our side, and all the memories we created together were truly beautiful.
I wanted to see you more often and spend more time together, but I’m sorry that I made you wait so long. Even now, thinking about the fans who are still waiting for 3YE makes me upset, but I believe that one day, we’ll all meet again.
It was a dream that shone even brighter because of my members and fans. Let’s keep all our moments, “Like stars in the night sky, always stay with me.”
Thank you so much for all the love you’ve given to 3YE and for recognizing us. I’ll miss all the good memories with you, and I’ll always love you all.
And Yulim, Haeun, we really did well. Let’s never forget our time together. I love you.
I sincerely thank everyone who has supported 3YE.

Yurim’s post also gave a sense of finality, mentioning that the members would be embarking on their own paths.

Hello, this is Yulim.
Today, I have some unfortunate news to share. First of all, I would like to thank and apologize to our fans who have always shared warm words of support with me and my members, even though we were often lacking.
At this time, my contract with GH Entertainment, along with the other members’, has come to an end after 7 years. I joined the company when I was 18, and I’ve spent nearly 10 years with GH Entertainment, during which I’ve learned and experienced so much. There were many tough times, but I was able to get through them because of the love and support from my fellow members and fans. I especially want to express my deep gratitude to Yuji and Haeun, who led and supported me despite my shortcomings. Time really has passed so quickly. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has loved and supported us for such a long time. Now, as we each embark on our own paths, I ask for your continued support.
I look forward to the day we can meet our fans again. Thank you for taking the time to read my long message.— Yulim
Finally, maknae Haeun‘s message echoed the feelings found in the previous messages, and mentioned she would like to continue making music and performing.

Hello, this is Haeun.
As of August 1, 2024, my contract with GH Entertainment has come to an end, and that’s why I’m writing this message. There are fans who have been with us since we debuted as AppleB in 2017, and there are also fans who joined us during our time as 3YE for the past 5 years. Whether it was a short time or a long time, during all these years, you’ve always supported us and shown us love, and I truly want to thank all our fans from the bottom of my heart.
There were so many things I wanted to do with you all, and I wish we could have seen each other more often, but I’m really sorry that we couldn’t. That’s the thing I regret the most. There were many times when things didn’t go as I hoped, and there were difficult, frustrating moments.
But every time, I was able to push through because of the fans who believed in us, stayed by our side, and supported us without giving up. We truly couldn’t have come this far without you. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.I still want to continue making music and performing on stage. It might be difficult, and I don’t know what will happen in the future, but until the day I can get back on stage in front of you all, I won’t give up. Even though I’ve been working hard for a long time, the reality hasn’t always been easy, but whenever I faced obstacles, I kept thinking about our fans and kept moving forward. I will continue to run forward, thinking that our fans are out there waiting for me, supporting me! I hope you’ll keep cheering me on and stay excited for what’s to come. Thank you so much for loving 3YE all this time. I love you all so, so much.
Thank you to my sisters, Yuji and Yulim, for taking care of and supporting me. You’ve always been there for me, and I’m so grateful. I think I really relied on you both a lot. Let’s only be happy from now on. I’ll love you forever.

3YE made their debut in May 2019 with “DMT,” which featured a strong “girl crush” concept. In 2021, 3YE debuted as part of Triple7, a co-ed group that included the members of B.I.G, another group under the label.
Their most recent release, a digital single titled “Loco,” happened on November 16, 2023. The three members were originally part of AppleB, another group under GH Entertainment that disbanded in 2018.
We wish them the best in their future activities!
