Agency statement:
“Hello, we are Rising Star Entertainment, agency of ARIAZ.
We would like to share some news that will sadden the fans who have shown their support and love and who have remained there, even during the difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On October 24, 2019, ARIAZ debuted as a 6-member group consisting of Yunji, Hyogyeong, Yeori, Sihyeon, Dawon, and Jueun. During the 2 years and 6 months that the members have been active as ARIAZ, due to COVID-19, the management has deteriorated and the members have been stuck between frustration and hope, and have a lot suffered.
With that, the agency spoke to members and received feedback. We have come to the conclusion that after April 10, 2022, ARIAZ’s Yunji, Hyogyeong, and Yeori will have terminated their contracts and will leave the group.
As Sihyeon, Dawon and Jueun renew their contract with Rising Star, we have decided that as ARIAZ, and within their own capacities, they will continue their activities in music, theater and as an influencer. .
We would also like to ask for your support for Yuji, Hyogyeong and Yeori who have been active as ARIAZ members for 2 years and 6 months and who will work with their own capacity to realize their dreams.
Also, we would like to request support for Sihyeon, Dawon, and Jueun’s activities to help them achieve their dreams. We will post more information about Sihyeon, Dawon, and Jueun in a future announcement.
Thank you.”
The group ARIAZ had caused a sensation already before its debut and were a highly anticipated group. The pandemic and the criticism of some fans will have had the best of their careers.
