It hasn't been long since member Somin has been announced to be leaving the girl group April. And while fans are still reeling from the shock, Somin has taken the time to personally write a handwritten letter to her fans and former members, explaining her decision.

Somin's handwritten letter was uploaded on April's official fancafe.

She wrote:

Hello everyone. It's Somin. The reason I'm holding a pen now is because as of today, November 9, 2015, I will be ending my activities with April, and I wanted to personally say goodbye to everyone. 

I've thought about it so much and after carefully worrying about it, I, Somin, as one person, will find out what I'm best at, and have decided to study. Thankfully, my April members and my company family, after a lot of concern, have decided to respect my decision.

I will always remember the warm and beautiful memories I have made with April, no matter where I am or who I become. My lovable April dongsengs who are friends and family to me. Like now, please always love and encourage. I too will encourage April and the fans, in the future wherever I am.
