Fans of the popular K-pop girl group Lovelyz have received a definitive and disappointing answer regarding the possibility of a full-group reunion. Member Jin has publicly confirmed that she has no plans to rejoin the group for future activities, while also making a personal announcement about her relationship.
Jin Announces Boyfriend and Hints at "Good News"
Recently, Lovelyz's Jin took to her social media to share significant personal updates with her followers. She posted photos of her Korean-American boyfriend, formally announcing her relationship to the public. Alongside this revelation, she engaged with fans' questions on her platform.
In response to a query about marriage plans, Jin hinted at exciting developments ahead. She stated, "Normally, aren't things like this supposed to be announced as a surprise…? Next year, there are supposed to be lots of good news in various ways." This cryptic message sparked speculation among her fanbase about what the future might hold for her personally.
The End of Reunion Hopes: A Firm "NO"
The most impactful revelation came when a fan directly questioned Jin about her future with Lovelyz. The fan asked if she planned to continue activities with the group or quit entirely, requesting clarity to avoid giving false hope.
Jin's response was blunt and unambiguous. She simply posted "NO" to her stories, effectively shutting down any lingering expectations for an 8-member Lovelyz comeback. This direct answer ended years of speculation and hope from dedicated fans, known as Lovelinus, who had longed to see the complete original lineup together again.
Addressing Backlash and Finalizing Her Stance
Jin's straightforward reply generated immediate backlash from some disappointed fans, who criticized her decision. This prompted her to post a follow-up statement to address the negative comments.
She strongly refuted claims that she was exploiting the Lovelyz name. "To those saying I'm 'using the Lovelyz name,' what exactly do you think I've been selling with the group's name? I was Lovelyz, and now I simply talk from my own experience while doing the job I have today," she explained. She questioned the unfairness of the allegation and denied selling anything illegal under the group's banner.
Most conclusively, Jin confirmed her permanent departure from the group and a singing career. She expressed understanding for fans' desires but emphasized her own wishes. "If the feeling is 'I wish you'd promote again, I want to see the full group together,' that's just wishful thinking. I—who is actually involved—am saying I don't want to do it," she shared.
Despite her firm stance, Jin admitted to feeling a sense of guilt and gratitude. She acknowledged that when fans express their longing for her to sing again or wait for a concert, she feels more apologetic and thankful than anything else. However, her decision to not return to Lovelyz or the idol life remains final, marking the end of an era for the group's fans hoping for a complete reunion.
