BUSTERS‘ Minji announces her departure from the agency; shares handwritten note

BUSTERS‘ Minji has declared her decision to depart from the group. She posted a long, handwritten letter-style post on her social media accounts for her fans.

Minji penned: “Hello, dear fans! It’s Minji! Spring is finally starting to arrive — how has everyone been doing?! Even though spring is on its way, the mornings and nights are still quite chilly, so make sure to dress warmly! I’m sure many of you were surprised and caught off guard by the sudden news. I wanted to write to you sooner to share my thoughts, so I feel sorry for delivering this message a bit late.

She added, “About a month ago, I left the group BUSTERs, who are under Marbling Entertainment. During my five years with the group, I was able to gain so many experiences and memories! I first met you all when I was just 15, and back then I was still so young, but thanks to you, I learned so much and grew a lot! The times we spent together, laughing and crying, are so precious to me, and I’ll always remember them dearly! Every single day up until now has been truly happy for me, and I want you to know that my feelings toward you were always genuine! Thank you so much for giving me such happy, wonderful memories and good times! And above all, thank you for always being by my side and supporting me more strongly than anyone else! You’ll always have a special place in my heart! And… I really, really, truly miss you all so much…!!”

“I thought a lot about how to put my feelings into words, and this is how I decided to share them. From now on, I, Minji, will continue to grow into an even better artist and I promise I’ll definitely stand in front of you all again—so please don’t forget about me… ㅠㅠㅠ!!!!! Please continue to send me lots of love, support, and anticipation in the future! Thank you for reading this long message, and please take good care of your health! Thank you so much for everything up until now!”

In 2020, at the age of 15, Minji became the youngest member of BUSTERS, which was established back in 2017
