Singers Jeon Ji-yoon and Kwon So-hyun shared their feelings about the disbandment of 4Minute.

On the 23rd, a video titled 'Sister, Why Did You Do That Back Then? Ji-yoon's Insights & Unreleased Dance Video' was released on the YouTube channel 'Entrance Ticket So-hyun'. In this video, Ji-yoon and So-hyun openly discussed their emotions during the disbandment of 4Minute.

When So-hyun asked about what she considers a 'turning point in life', Ji-yoon responded, "When it comes to a turning point, it should represent a new beginning or a major change, but it often feels like a continuation instead." She added, "However, my daily life has changed. I have to make my work visible rather than just being seen. So, I became someone who works behind the scenes."

Ji-yoon particularly recalled that the first one or two years after 4Minute's disbandment were the hardest. She mentioned, "It was a time when I lost a sense of belonging completely. I was just suddenly cast aside after spending years as part of the group. When I received the notification about our disbandment, the loss of belonging felt the hardest. It was extremely despairing."

So-hyun also shared, "I remember driving my sister to the CEO's house. I had moments where we were turned away at the door. When we gathered five members, I only once expressed my uncertainty about re-signing, saying, 'I don’t know yet, I’m a bit worried', but after we received the notification, I felt that. 'Why did such a notification come to us?' I felt like the world was crumbling."

Could their reunion be possible? The two expressed cautious thoughts saying, "We do think it would be fun to reunite if we could. However, isn’t it that a lot of time has passed? Each of us has our own lives, so we worry if it would feel the same as before."
