Seo In Young and Park Jung Ah Quit Jewelry!

[mitsuki-hime.livejournal.com]

Seo In Young and Park Jung Ah, the only two original members left in the 4 member group Jewelry, have decided that it was their time to leave the group.

Representatives from Star Empire Entertainment, Jewelry's entertainment label, have stated that after the promotions of Jewelry's repackaged 6th album "Love Story" are over, Seo In Young and Park Jung Ah will leave the group.

Park Jung Ah commented:

"We have performed as Jewelry for almost 10 years and a lot has happened since that time. I am most proud of the fact that we made Jewelry into an icon. Although we are finishing, Jewelry is not and I will actively support the new Jewelry."



Each of the women have decided to continue with their solo careers, which is probably a good choice considering the lack of a comeback Jewelry had and the fact that Seo In Young is doing great without the group with her digital single "Can't I Love."

The search for new members for Jewelry will begin with the new year.

Star Empire has been on the fritz lately with it's lack of a budget plan for Child of Empire, V.O.S leaving the company and the arguable failed comeback from Jewelry. Just last year, "One More Time" dominated the charts which is far from what "Vari2ty" did. To go from the top of your game and comeback as the group that went by unnoticed has got to be hard.

Best wishes to Star Empire in the future and hopefully the new Jewelry will be as or more successful (and hopefully hotter) next time around.

Well that's just too bad but Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young can go solo and rock shit that way.
The other two...I never paid attention to, sorry.

[ellystage.livejournal.com]

Oh man. If this is true, Jewelry won't be as popular with new members.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Why would they look for new members? Just start a new group with the leftover girl.

i know everyone says "don't trust allkpop shiodjask" they've been pretty correct lately so... DDD: im not really into jewelry either but i wish them luck in their solo careers.

[aunts.livejournal.com]

The thing is with allkpop, they get their stories from somewhere right? Sure they skew it with wording and usless commentary and everything, but about 70% of the article is to the point and true imo. It seems like everyone one has been even EXTRA weary about them ever since the '2PM debuting in America' article was false, and JYP himself tweeted allkpop and said it was wrong.

TL:DR News? Yes. Quality? Bullshit.

[itzbets.livejournal.com]

This is so not cool. I actually hope Jewelry goes on to do well. Maybe it didn't dominate the charts because{among many factors} it didn't really seem like the group was that into their performances because this album was really good..it's a shame.

But yeah I'd like to know allkpop's source.

I never saw the point of this. Why can't they just form a new group? Considering the other two aren't even the original members... idk

[radical-ed57.livejournal.com]

Jewelry's stuff was alright. I didn't much about them, so I can't really be anything other than indifferent.

UGH YOU GIVE ME A HEARTBREAK!

Park Jung Ah is one of the fiercest women in Korean music right now. She's so talented and lovely--even though she won't be part of Jewelry anymore I hope she still stays active. PJA >>>> Seo In Young IMO....

But wow, I am impressed with the way this article is written--it's nice, non-perverted and actually offers intelligent insight. This is monumental for allkpop, lol.

[iiluminate.livejournal.com]

IA. Park Jung Ah for the fricking win. imo she's way more attractive and talented than Seo In Young.

[xoxoknlove.livejournal.com]

wow, boy does KPOP2009 suck =\

[yumekanau.livejournal.com]

Woah, didn't see this coming. I actually liked Vari2ty more than One More Time!

*awaits "ZOMG BE GONE FKNG 2009!"

To be honest I'm kind of glad Seo In-young is finally leaving. She's much stronger on her own.

And Jung-ahs voice was wasted in a pop group, hopefully she'll go the rock route now. :)
