Viki announces official withdrawal from Dal Shabet for solo career

[moanyu.livejournal.com]

On May 24th, Happy Face Entertainment announced, “Leader Viki, who began as a member of Dal Shabet on January 4th, 2011, will be withdrawing from the group for a solo career.” Viki also wrote her final post on the group’s official fancafe explaining her withdrawal.



Viki’s handwritten fancafe message stated:

“Hello, this is Dal Shabet’s Viki. It’s my first time greeting you all in a while but I’m afraid I have some bad news for our Darlings.

There were so many happy moments experienced with our fans while promoting as the leader of Dal Shabet, but I will be concluding my activities as a member of the group with our Yeosu schedule as my final participation. You’re surprised, right? But I’ll be back soon so please look forward to Viki’s solo promotions.

Ah! And our pretty Shabet dongsengs are also making a comeback! As it is their first studio album, please give them lots of love. Although I won’t be able to greet you as a member of Dal Shabet in the future, I hope our Darlings won’t forget Viki in their hearts. Please continue to give Dal Shabet your unchanging love and anticipate Viki’s solo transformation.

To my sisters, charming Serri, big eyed Ahyoung, the perfect daughter in law Jiyul, athletic Gaeun, and giant baby Subin. This unni will always be supporting you. And our Darlings! You know how much I love you, right? Thank you so much for your support and love. I’ll come back soon.”

Viki’s last appearance with the group will be at the Yeosu Expo concert on May 27th. Dal Shabet will be joined by a new member for their comeback next month.

jumping out of the sinking ship a bit too late, Viki

pretty sure every dalshabet track has outperformed after school's entire discography just sayin

THERE IS NO GOD!!!
;-(

idk how not-so-popular group members think leaving the group to be solo would be more successful.. kpop has no love for soloists.

[sonicphotonic.livejournal.com]

This. Gone are the days of Hyori and Rain.

[reemgirl.livejournal.com]

bye. she was my least fave anyway.

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

lol..... gurl.... I don't remember if she can sing or not but her rapping really suits the Dal*Shabet setting I can't imagine her as a solo rapper being very lucrative. She's a good dancer. and super hot. I'll miss her in the group. She was my favorite tbh. I hope the new girl is qt & can sing/rap/dance decently. dal*shabet is probably technically still on the rise even tho "hit u" sucked. maybe their upcoming concept was too dreadful to bear so she had to peace.

I don't know this group but I felt like looking up their discography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dal_Shabet_discography) out of curiosity (since I am oblivious as to their status); it doesn't seem like Hit U, the song, did that badly, even if it didn't chart as high as the immediately preceding song, and the album/single charted highly (what the hell chart is this, though, that 5000+ sales can get you to #1? Even if no one big was promoting at the same time....)

(Not that I disagree with your opinion on the song... it is the one song of theirs I bothered to check out (when they started to promote it), and I was like "nothx"....)

first thought: aw, that sucks.

second thought: oh but hey new member!

[mangomuffins.livejournal.com]

idk she never seemed very important to the group anyway but i wish her luck on her solo career! she'll need it.....

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

It always makes me sad when a leader leaves a group. :(

/having Hannah GP Basic flashbacks

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Well now there is no way Dal Shabet is ever going to be relevant.

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

lol why not i mean she wasn't even popular

[kneekalies.livejournal.com]

okay. yay! for new member and comeback next month. i feel like everytime someone says they're going solo we never see them again lol

[k0dama.livejournal.com]

Whoa! She's left handed!

[johnnyquest89.livejournal.com]

huh?

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

which one was that idk if she was my favorite

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

Was she the one who used to be in Girls Day or something? If so, she just be leaving all these groups.

[taylorniw.livejournal.com]

The former Girls Day member joined New FO.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

Happy face entertainment? LMAO

[earthequality.livejournal.com]

Not a Darling but doesn't she only rap? Hmm and I know there is one girl from their Hit U performances I have never seen given a single line, lol, unless I might have skipped past her or something. This is interesting but I don't see her doing well on the sole fact that most soloists aren't really noted in SK.

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

The one girl actually has a line(s) in the song, but she only got to perform it during the 1st week. After that, they shortened their performance for the rest of the promos.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

she left for a solo career
lol suuuuuuuuuuuuuure

[t-domination.livejournal.com]

solo career that will flop sry2say

[ahhdoh.livejournal.com]

was my least fave anyway so bring the new member pls

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

She's better off in a flop group than as a solo rapper. There's very little room for soloists in the k-pop industry.

i thought this article was about the website viki and my heart stopped

[melizah.livejournal.com]

Excited for her single "Vikipedia", not that I follow Dal Shabet sorbet really. And I don't know if she'll release a single called "Vikipedia", I just tried to come up with a name for her solo stuff...

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

i don't understand why they don't just continue as 5 tbh

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

idt that's a good idea girl but good luck to her

[jeit91.livejournal.com]
