STAYC member Yoon (Sim Ja-yoon) addressed — and firmly denied — swirling disbandment rumors, urging fans not to worry.
Recently on the fan platform Bubble, Yoon opened up by saying, "Can I even bring this up?" She continued, "Someone posted a Shorts video about the possibility of STAYC disbanding," adding, "I've never imagined living without my members. Don't pay attention to such ridiculous rumors," reassuring fans.
Yoon further told fans, "Let's be together for a long time. No matter what happens, we won't leave SWITH (STAYC's fandom)," and added, "I want to stay with the members for a very long time. I'm not worried at all — I only mentioned it because I didn't want fans to feel uneasy."
While fans felt relieved by Yoon's words, many also voiced frustration that the company hadn't taken any measures to stop the spread of false rumors. They called it absurd that such talk spread — and that anyone believed it — especially while the group is actively promoting.
STAYC is a six-member group — J, Sieun, Seeun, Isa, Sumin, and Yoon — that debuted in 2020. They have released multiple hits, including 'So Bad,' 'ASAP,' 'Stereotype,' 'Teddy Bear,' and 'Bubble.'
