Son Na-eun will not be joining A Pink's special album promotions that will mark the group's 10th-year anniversary in the business. Though all the parties involved have already issued their statements about it, it looks like netizens did their own investigation about the matter.
Netizens discuss the real possible reason why Son Na-eun will not be joining her fellow A Pink members' promotions. By the looks of it, they all see it has something to do with her schedule.
On Nate's community site, Pann, internet users weighed in on the issue about the idol-turned-actress' non-appearance on their promotions. The post revealed that although the 27-year-old star is still busy with her drama schedule, she still managed to record and film the special album.
She is only waiting to promote with her co-members when the album's release schedule has changed. AllKpop noted it was delayed from the originally scheduled time and it was already conflicting with the singer's other activities.
As a result, she can no longer join A Pink's broadcast activities. But if there is anyone who regrets Son Na-eun's absence, it may be the k-pop group's other five members, Jung Eun-ji, Yoon Bomi, Park Cho-rong, Oh Ha-young and Kim Nam-joo.
Meanwhile, YG Entertainment had released a press statement to officially address the "LOST" star's non-participation in the group's comeback promotions, per HelloKPop. It confirmed its talent could not participate in any of the idols' activities other than the jacket photo and music video of their special album that would be out in February.
The agency added it was due to the difficulties of coordinating the schedule for Son Na-eun's next project, which was already under discussion.
Back on Jan. 17, IST Entertainment explained the company had prioritized schedule adjustments and communications so that six members could join the 10th-anniversary album. But with the "sudden inability to adjust certain schedules," the promotions would only feature five idols.
Son Na-eun herself released her own statement about the matter. She said it was a pity that she could not be with her fans and fellow A Pink members to promote their special album, so she just asked their followers' support for the group and their upcoming LP.
As expected, fans could not help but feel disappointed upon hearing the news. It was in April 2020 when A Pink last dropped a new album, called "Look," featuring the hit single "Dumhdurum" and other B-side songs. Their return would also mark the end of their longest hiatus, so far.
