BB Girls Yujeong Officially Leaves the Group
On April 22, 2024, BB Girls released a statement via their newly established agency, BB Girls Company. There, they confirmed that they were leaving Warner Music Korea. Sadly, they also announced that Yujeong would be leaving the group.
In their statement, they revealed that Yujeong decided to leave the group after lengthy discussions about her future. The other members decided to respect Yujeong's decision and thanked her for her dedication to accomplishing her activities as a member of BB Girls.

Brave Girls originally debuted in 2011, but the current line-up of BB Girls joined the group in 2016. Initially considering disbandment, their 2017 song "Rollin'" saw a reverse run on the charts, boosting them to virality and allowing the girl group to resume activities again.
In 2023, Brave Girls disbanded and left their agency, Brave Entertainment. They chose to reform, and the four members signed with Warner Music Korea, donning a new name, BB Girls.
