Why Did Soyul Leave Crayon Pop?
After promoting with Crayon Pop for four years, Chrome Entertainment announced in 2016 that Soyul would be halting her activities with the group after she developed an anxiety disorder during the preparations for their first studio album "Evolution Pop Vol.1." The group continued with their promotions as four members.
But in November of the same year, Soyul announced her engagement to former H.O.T member Moon Hee Jun, after being in a relationship since April. The engagement garnered much attention, as it was also announced that they would be marrying in February the next year.

On May 31, 2017, Soyul officially withdrew from Crayon Pop and left Chrome Entertainment to focus on motherhood.
