Jiho announces departure from girl group Oh My Girl

This Monday, May 9th, Jiho announced her departure from the K-Pop girl group Oh My Girl. Through an open letter on social media, she explained that she will continue to support her former colleagues despite the decision. The agency WM Entertainment also issued a statement on the matter.

“I talked to the agency numerous times about the future and we concluded that moving forward would be the best way to support each other. In the future, I will support Oh My Girl as a fan and no longer as a member of the group”, said Jiho.

“The conversations we’ve had over the past seven years, the moments we’ve shared with each fan, the love and support we’ve received will be things I’ll never forget. I want to thank Miracle for creating almost miraculous moments in my life.

Thanks to the fans, I was able to grow up and be very happy during these seven years”, she concluded.
