The following day on July 29, Jang Gyuri posted a handwritten letter on the fan community Weverse. Read her full letter below:

Hello, this is fromis_9’s Gyuri.

I’m worried that our [fans] Flover are very surprised at this sudden news. I wanted to finish well up until the end, so I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to tell you earlier.

It felt like the moment I’d share these words was far away, but now that I’m here, I’m reminded of our time together and I feel heartbroken.

The unchanging love and support that Flover have sent so far have become warm comfort when I felt defeated by confusion and guilt, and when I tried to step back out of fear ahead of a new challenge, it became the courage I needed to take one step forward.

To the many Flovers who thanked me and fromis_9 for becoming your hope and strength to live, I instead want to say thank you for being my support and stepping stones.

Thanks to you, I was able to constantly try new things and grow.

Even though I was never good at expressing myself, I promise to remember each and every Flover who still believed in me and embraced me with even greater love. Like it’s been up until now, no matter where I am and what image I have, I will do my best to not be ashamed. Please watch over me.

Please look forward and give lots of love to fromis_9’s cool promotions, who are continuing to rise. I will also become a Flover and support fromis_9 with you.

Thank you and I love you.
