"Dear Friends,
This is Gugudan's Hana. We have delivered some sudden news at the end of this year. We were all really sad and sorry for doing this. Do you remember the warm summer of 2016? To this day, I cannot forget that day, when we performed our first stage and met all of you. I think it will remain in my memory for the rest of my life. The days of being Gugudan's Hana and performing with our members are truly the most precious moments in my life.
After the news broke out, many people showered us with overwhelming support and praise for all the hard work we had done. Although I was unable to smile every day, I was able to aim higher because of all of your support. This is why it is so hard for me to express in words how to say goodbye. I wanted to instill strength in everyone during these uncertain times, but I was unable to and for that I am sorry.
Whenever I received messages from fans about how I was so strong and resilient and that they were so happy to be my fan, it gave me more strength. Though I am still lacking, I want you all to know that you gave me strength and motivated me to become an even better person.
Today, all f the memories of the past were clearly felt by each and every one of us. I am extremely grateful that whenever I think of my beloved members and fans, I can smile instead of sigh. It is disappointing that we could not meet in person due to the coronavirus pandemic, but please take care of your health and I hope to meet everyone again soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting and loving Gugudan as if we were your best friends. I love and miss everyone more than you know. I will do my best to repay everyone the love they have given me. I love you.
Sincerely,
Gugudan's Hana."
