DSP Entertainment issued an official statement today (28th), announcing that after discussing and pondering with the members of APRIL for a long time, they decided to disband, and Chae Kyung, Chae Won, Na Eun, Ye Na, Rachel, and Jin Sol will go their separate ways: “I hope you can support the development of the 6 members who are no longer APRIL, but have embarked on a new path, and I am also very grateful to the fans who have supported APRIL for 6 years.”

In February 2021, the younger brother of former APRIL member Hyun Joo posted an article on the Korean website, alleging that his sister left the group and announced that she wanted to act, but it was actually because she was bullied by members of the group and tried to commit suicide during the group period. There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and all the past videos were dug up.

In April of the same year, Hyun Joo also personally came forward to explain that what her younger brother said was the truth, and that she had been verbally bullied and personally attacked for three years, while the agency knew about it but stood by. However, DSP Entertainment quickly denied everything, and members Na Eun, Jin Su, Rui Na, and Cai Yuan also successively clarified with statements and handwritten letters that they did not bully Hyun Joo, but Korean netizens did not believe it, and their images plummeted. .
