FANCAFE:

To. Everyone who loved Bebop’s Jiin,♥

Everyone ^^ Hello!!
It’s Jiin~
It’s been a really, really long time since I left a post on the fancafe ^^
Although it has been a long time I wrote a post for everyone, I have a piece of sad news.
I’m delivering it carefully..
My heart feels heavy because I do not know how to break the news to you guys..

I have left BEBOP’s vocalist and bassist position.
My body has became weaker, I had been going to hospitals and was really sick during this period of time..
Thankfully I’m almost fully recovered and is well now. ^^

It was a short but long 1-2 years time and I’m thankful towards the love everyone gave me.
I can’t fully express the thankfulness for people who has always been supporting us but thank you so much, every day, every moment was very precious to me.
I would not be able to do music so happily if not for you guys.. Thank you so much.

And I promised people who loved BEBOP’s music that there will be better music in the future..
I’m sincerely sorry that I can’t keep that promise..
I do not have anything to say besides ‘sorry’, for disappointing people who has always loved and supported BEBOP, and ‘thank you’..

I will always be thankful and will never forget the precious memories I’ve made together with everyone as BEBOP’s leader..!
Recalling the past from our debut to our first busking to our first concert and the fanmeeting… It’s a precious present that will never change..
To everyone and the members, thank you for giving these precious memories to me.. ^^

I will greet everyone healthily and not as a singer but an actress in the future.
But of course, if there’s an opportunity, I’ll greet you guys with a good song..!

Thank you for loving BEBOP’s bassist Jiin up till now.
I’ll work hard to be a good actress and to show good acting.!
Please show lots of support^^

I’ll show my whereabouts on Instagram in the future^^

Once again, I sincerely thank you for loving BEBOP’s Jiin..♥
I love you.

I'll greet you guys again with a better image in the future ^^ Please watch me smile emoticon I love you♥ #Bebop #Jiin#Juwoo #Ayeon #PrettyBandBebop #Vocal #Bass #Thanks #Happy

I guess fans saw it coming..? ever since their Asia's Got Talent stint didn't go well, only Ayeon's been busy with individual activities.. it's hard for a female band to survive :/ best of luck to Jiin, I hope she finds success in her new career path!

No idea who the group is but wish her the best of luck

they're a three-piece pop rock band! their 2014 debut MV I'm The Best:


RIP Bebop...

I never knew they were a band. For some reason I Had always thought that they were an electro group.

Tough for bands in SK. Tougher for a woman only band.
I hope they each do well.

was it because of Maem Maem? I love it and the MV is so cute ;;

[phililen3.livejournal.com]

That song is soooooo gooooooood. I hope they collab with HUS again.

i had a feeling something was up bc of ayeon's ig/travels. this group is/was super talented and i want a comeback badly but it probably won't happen :|

[adenar.livejournal.com]

I figured it was coming. Juwoo and Jiin were spamming their insta a while back of pictures of the two of them while Ayeon was off adventuring, I always wondered if there was a slight bitterness about it. I wonder if Juwoo will stick around even if it was originally just her and Ayeon.

I hope she finds success somewhere, she's got a great voice/onstage vibe :(

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

yep, the Juwoo/Jiin posts were very telling.. I'm wondering about the future of Bebop too, but it doesn't seem very optimistic :(

[adenar.livejournal.com]

i'm glad that they remained friends though, they were super cute. i'm angry that their company couldn't find a way to push ayeon (who is undeniably gorgeous and talented etc and a great face for the group) without, you know, actually pushing the group too, despite introducing her as bebop's ayeon constantly.

i do remember her hospital posts and being super worried about her, so i hope that it was less because of group dynamics and more because of unfortunate circumstances. then again acting is just as demanding so i hope she knows what she's doing :(

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

based on what I've heard from ~~insider sauces~~, there does seem to be a rift, which is :( because it's not like Ayeon asked to be the ~popular one who gets invited solo on shows etc. I just hope it works out somehow for all three of them eventually..

[adenar.livejournal.com]

~~insider sources~~ lmao i shan't ask.
yeah it's not surprising. i imagine it's hard enough in a group where you still get to promote while one members gets most of the spotlight, but in this case juwoo and jiin were just completely shafted. i doubt the two got to see her much at all tbh.

i reeeally hope it does. ji in's got a lot of industry experience speaking for her so she can probably navigate it while ayeon probably still has her company backing (and she's also a multi-instrumental goddess so). i really hope juwoo gets something out of this too though, her voice is divine and nonconventional and her tomboy schtick (that their company seems to be trying to wean her out of lately if her awkward growing-out-hair is something to go by) is really refreshing. she was definitely born to be a rocker.

Aww I always hoped they would get popular :(

[krunkri.livejournal.com]

i'm not surprised since i hadn't seen them all together in a while, but i'm still :((((
their company could've/should've done more to keep them as a group instead of Just ayeon

[blowfishprince.livejournal.com]

isn't she also the ex-girls day member?

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

yup she is!
