Thank you for your constant support to LDH and "iCON Z Girls Group Audition".
After the announcement of qualified applicants of the audition, the members have been preparing for a long-term training camp in South Korea and the project production for their debut work. However, MINA told us she didn't want to debut as a group member for personal reasons. After that, we confirmed her thoughts and her ideas about the future. After having a lot of discussions with the members including MINA and staff, we decided to respect her choice. She will not debut as a group member and will no longer participate in future activities of this group. We would like to sincerely apologize to all people who have given their support and related people for worries and troubles caused by this sudden announcement. LDH and team CDL will keep on supporting MINA who will walk on a new path in the future. We hope you can warmly support MINA and the 5 members' decision. Moreover, the qualified members are preparing for the recording of their new work and the shooting for their video work in the new year. Please keep on supporting them who are energetically carrying out activities for their major debut in 2023. |
