Incredibly sad news coming from camp Brave Girls – the K-Pop girl group has confirmed their disbandment due to the expiration of their contracts with their agency, Brave Entertainment. The group officially debuted in 2011, was then reorganized with second-generation members (Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, Yoona) in 2016, and experienced virality in 2021 when their track, “Rollin'” became a hit worldwide. Below is the official statement from Brave Entertainment regarding the disbandment:
“Hello. This is Brave Entertainment.
First, we sincerely express our gratitude to fans who love and support Brave Girls.
The exclusive contracts of our agency’s four artists Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, and Yuna expire today (February 16). Accordingly, Brave Girls will officially wrap up their activities following the release of their digital single ‘Goodbye,’ which will be released today.
The Brave Girls members and agency decided on a beautiful farewell after an in-depth discussion over a long period of time. We will not forget the support we have for each other, and [the members] will repay the fans’ love, each from their own place.
We are sincerely grateful to Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, and Yuna, who worked passionately while sharing the joys and sorrows as Brave Girls for the past seven years, and we give them a big round of applause. We will always be cheering on the members’ future activities.
We also once again deeply express our gratitude to the fans Fearless (Brave Girls’ official fan club) who were always by Brave Girls’ side without fear. We ask for your endless love and warm interest for Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji, and Yuna going forward.
Brave Girls started as “Yeokjoohaeng (referring to a song’s resurgence on the charts) icons,” and they quickly grew as a girl group with unrivaled power on the digital music [charts]. We know very well that it is due to the members and fans that Brave Girls’ journey did not stop at a miracle and that they were able to write a legend. We will forever remember the icons of hope, Brave Girls.
Thank you.“
