While it may be a bit sad for fans who might not see her at an event or for Gyuri not getting to attend something and see fans, this is likely an exciting opportunity for her to continue building a resume as an actress. While Fromis_9 is getting more popular, for most idols a group only last about a decade at most and they need to find reliable work that can continue after their group either by learning a trade, finding something in entertainment, or attending college.
