After the shocking announcement of their upcoming disbandment, members of the South Korean girl group Rainbow expressed their sadness and gratitude to their supporters through an Instagram post.
In the photo which reveals a handwritten letter, the girls shared their thoughts about their disbandment and appreciation to their talent management agency DSP Media. They further assured the fans that they would still have each other’s back just like before.
"'Hello, the Rainbow has risen.' Whenever we shouted this greeting, we always gained strength, and we were happy that we gave all of you good energy. After meeting our DSP friends, we realized our dreams, became Rainbow, and we received great love and support. We also were able to receive a very precious family. That's why we were so hurt when we heard the word 'disbandment' in yesterday's headlines. We think all of you, especially Rainnous who supported us, were very disappointed and surprised,” Rainbow stated as quoted by All KPop.
The group added: “Even though Rainbow's contract has ended and our official promotions with DSP Media have ended, we're not disappearing! We will support each other as we did before, and we'll be with you all. If we all work hard in our spots, we trust we'll be able to be together one day. First place isn't important! All the moments we've had with you are happy and precious. Thank you for making us so happy for the past 7 years. We'll wait until we can make Rainbow rise in your hearts once again. From Rainbow!"
On October 27, DSP Media disclosed to the public that Rainbow’s contract with the agency will be ending on November 12 this year. However, despite the negotiations for future promotions, the group members decided to separate ways, All Kpop reports.
Rainbow made their entertainment debut in 2009 with the mini album Gossip Girls. The group is composed of 8 members namely Jaekyung, Woori, Jisook, No Eul, Seung Ah, Yoonhye, and Hyunyoung.
