Brave Entertainment has announced changes in its rookie girl group Candy Shop, just two months after their debut. On May 9th, the agency revealed that Yuina would temporarily suspend her activities with Candy Shop due to health reasons. The decision was made after thorough discussions with Yuina, and the agency has decided to respect her opinion by halting her activities.

As a result, Candy Shop will proceed with their upcoming schedules as a four-member group. To fill the vacancy left by Yuina, Brave Entertainment plans to recruit a new member to maintain the group’s dynamics and activities.

Yuina from Candy Shop left the group temporarily for an indefinite period.

Candy Shop made its debut on March 27 under Brave Entertainment, led by renowned producer Brave Brothers. Their debut drew attention as Brave Brothers’ first rookie group in 13 years since Brave Girls. Among the members, Yuina stood out as the only Japanese member of the team, contributing as a sub-vocalist.

Despite Yuina’s departure, fans are hopeful that Candy Shop will face this change smoothly and continue to showcase their talents and charm in the K-pop industry. Brave Entertainment’s decision to recruit a new member indicates its commitment to supporting Candy Shop’s journey and maintaining the group’s trajectory following its successful debut.
