Shocking update: Former PRISTIN member Jung Eunwoo revealed she has left the K-pop scene and is now set to manage a Gangnam plastic surgery clinic, sharing the news through a candid Instagram video.

Recently, Jung Eunwoo posted a video on her Instagram with the caption, "Former idol Eunwoo here."

Through the clip, she opened up about her past. Jung Eunwoo said, "I used to be an idol. I appeared on Superstar K4, The Voice Kids, and Produce 101, and then I became an idol. But now... well, it is what it is." She also mentioned I.O.I, who reunited after nine years, adding, "Seeing my friends come back together makes me even more wistful."

Jung Eunwoo calmly explained where she is now: "I'm 28. You can't exactly log out of society. You have to do something to make a living," she said. "I've decided to become a manager at a Gangnam plastic surgery clinic. That should be easier than becoming a successful idol, right?" She also took part in the dance challenge for I.O.I's new song 'Suddenly.'

Jung Eunwoo debuted in 2017 as a member of PRISTIN alongside I.O.I alum Im Nayoung, Kyulkyung, and others. PRISTIN disbanded in May 2019. Later that November, she re-debuted with fellow PRISTIN members Kyungwon, Minkyeung, and Yebin as HINAPIA, but the group also disbanded in August 2020.

Now away from the music industry, Jung Eunwoo is building a new life in a completely different field while occasionally updating fans through social media.
