What’s Next For Pristin?
Now that Kyla is back in Korea, fans are excited and hoping that Pristin can finally have a comeback with a new album after nearly two years of hiatus since the group’s last comeback as a group in August, 2017. Their last activities were as the sub-unit, Pristin V. It is a sub-unit consisting of members Eunwoo, Kyulkyung, Rena, Roa, and Nayoung, and there are no activities were seen. Many fans really want to see the group coming back to the stage. They even criticize how Pledis Entertainment is treating them. According to the fans, Pledis tends to ignore Pristin and does not provide certainty about whether the group has disbanded or will comeback with their new album soon. The agency also has no intention of reviving the group from inactivity. — InThisHouseholdWeStan (@NamjonThicTidys) December 25, 2018 On May 24, Yonhap News reported that Pristin officially disbanded two years after debuting. Pledis Entertainment has finally released an official statement regarding the group’s disbandment and revealed that Nayoung, Roa, Yuha, Eunwoo, Rena, Xiyeon, and Kyla have terminated their contracts with the agency, while Kyulkyung, Yehana, and Sungyeon will stay under Pledis Entertainment. Wish all the best for the members!
Kyulkyung Opens Up Instagram Account?
KyulKyung, one of Printin’s members, also has opened up a personal Instagram account recently. This has increasingly made fans believe that the inactive girl-group has now disbanded. She posted her first picture with a caption, “春暖花开📷” which means “Spring blossoms” in Chinese. However, things are even more puzzling at the moment, as KyulKyung suddenly deleted her Instagram (zhoujieqiong.jong) account.
Kyulkyung’s Dating Rumor with Wang Sichong
Not long after opening a new Instagram account that left fans confused and in an uproar, Kyulkyung was rumored to be in relationship with a Chinese billionaire. In March, Chinese media reported that PRISTIN‘s Kyulkyung and Wang Sicong, a Chinese billionaire, were dating after the two were seen having a vacation in Japan. The rumors also spread after it was reported that Wang Sicong personally picked Kyulkyung up from Shanghai International Airport. After the rumor had become widespread, Pledis Entertainment firmly denied it. The agency even stated that they will take legal action against the news agency that started the rumor. XCSS (星燦盛世, Xing Can Sheng Shi), Kyulkyung’s Chinese agency, also denied all the rumors with their own statement.
Eunwoo, Rena, and Xiyeon Open Up Instagram Accounts
After Kyla and Kyulkyung opened up their personal Instagram accounts, some other of Pristin’s members joined Instagram, as well. Fellow members Eunwoo and Xiyeon have created their own Instagram accounts under the usernames @j_e_w_w_was and @0_0.1114. On April 26, Rena appeared on Instagram with the username yaebby_kang. The idol stars have been frequently updating their feed with dance videos, selfies, and more. While Xiyeon’ Instagram is still active, Rena and Eunwoo decided to deactivate their accounts. They made the decisions to deactivate their accounts after a Twitter user started to post false rumors about the idols. 바야흐로 막내졸업식날 A post shared by 박시연 (@0_0.1114) on Apr 30, 2019 at 3:51am PDT That was all for the information about Pristin’s Kyla and the group’s disbandment.
