this was expected but i'm so sad, i really liked Jenny

i wonder if she did not get along well with the other members or if she saw that her idol career would not really go anywhere in the (near) future
i mean, that and the knee issue? i can really get it
still, i'm sad and i hope for a good future and i hope she can find a new path in life

i am so sad. i was really hoping she would come back. :'(

i guess dia is meant to have 7 members, they always come back to that number.

eta: here's a translation of her letter https://twitter.com/Jsoyul/status/1147443215361949697

I’m glad her knees are improving! Knee problems are no joke at all

But I looked up Osteomalacia because I don’t know much about it, and the Wikipedia page brought up it can be related to diet? :(((( idk what Jenny’s personal experience with it is but I’m sure that harmful diets / lack of nutritional care from their company didn’t help

That's why I think it might just be about her injury that caused her to leave the group. I can't imagine her giving up because she didn't get along with all the members like people are guessing.. This is the one of times I think a company is serious about an idol's reason for leaving is to focus on health, and this is coming from MBK of all companies! I'm glad they were willing to let her go

Based on her age and circumstances, I’ll say the most likely culprit is malnutrition. Companies don’t care that they are fucking up these young kids for life.
Poor kid. I hope she gets healthy and is happy with what she chooses to do in the future

Sad. I actually really wanted good things for this group after their first win for Woo Woo but it looks like it’s just not destined for them?
