MELLOW’S SOPHIE AND JUNE SHED TEARS DURING THEIR LAST FANMEETING + READ THEIR GOODBYE LETTERS TO MARSHMELLOWS

After the news of Mellow’s disbandment just a few days ago, the remaining two active members of Mellow attended the group’s last fanmeeting. Their label announced the members requested for a last time to say their goodbyes to Marshmellows and to remember the last two years of the group by performing their title tracks one last time. 

As expected, the fanmeeting was filled with a lot of emotional moments between Mellow and their fans. June and Sophie were spotted sharing a lot of tears during their last time together with the fans. While Mellow’s other two members (previously announced to be on indefinite hiatus from the group) were not present, the remaining two still performed their title tracks one last time to remember the times together.

Many fans were spotted shedding tears and the members were gifted many farewell presents. While the group was only able to promote for two short years, the emotions were high. As the fanmeeting neared it’s end, both members shared their last words with the Marshmellows that were able to come to the fanmeeting. Sharing their last goodbyes by reading their letters.

From Sophie: To Marshmellows

I didn't think that this day would come so soon. It feels like it was just yesterday that I stepped on stage for the first time with the other members, all nervous yet excited that the day of our debut finally arrived. It feels like it was yesterday that we heard your cheers, that we felt your energy which gave us strenght and allowed us to continue with our work. It seems like we just got our first win yesterday, that we shared tears and happy moments with you a day ago when in reality, it's been two years already. Two years filled with lots of amazing stories, support and love. Two wonderful years that I will never forget.

I’m sad that Gyuri and Emi can’t be here with us today. I’m sure they would have loved to bid their farewells to you all, after all Marshmellows have been the biggest part of our journey. I know we say this a lot, but it’s the truth: You are the reason Mellow made it this far and we will forever be grateful to you. Reagrdless of if you have been here from the beginning or joined our “Fruitsalad” later on, we have had a beautiful time with you. I enjoyed every single interaction, every written fan letter, every comment and every story you shared. Thank you for all the times you let me be the reason you smiled and for every opportunity to get closer to you. It was an honor to have such a loving and strong fandom and be part of something I would consider a family.

I have talked to a friend of mine about this letter. To be honest I didn’t know what I should write or how I should feel about the situation. When I heard that Mellow might disband, my heart broke. I was upset, disappointed, confused and a little angry, many of you probably feel the same right now. But that’s not how I want to feel, and neither should you. Rather than being upset about the ending of this chapter, I want us to remember all the happy memories and be grateful it happened in the first place. Another friend of mine reminded me of the fact that when a door closes, there is another one opening. I want us to go through that newly opened door together, hand in hand with me leading the way just as I have led this group for two years. I want us to remember all our accomplishments with a smile. Let’s be proud of who we are and who we have become on this journey.

Mellow will always exist and be a part of us. As the former leader of Mellow, I will lead the way with a heart full of happiness and love thanks to Marshmellows. Let’s look back with a smile because this isn’t the end. This is a new beginning for the members of Mellow and every Marshmellow. We have accomplished so much and that is something to be proud of. I love you, and I will never forget you. Thank you for everything and for sharing this amazing adventure with me.

From June: To Marshmellows 

For the past two years, we both went through a lot. We shared many happy moments together, many sad moments. Whenever I felt scared to stand on stage, whenever I wasn’t sure. Marshmellows were there to cheer me on and give me energy. I relied a lot on all of you, seeing your encouraging messages, I felt like we were a family. And we still are. I was able to experience this happiness because of you guys, I was able to smile so much because I would meet you and hear your stories. We could bond over music, not just national fans but international fans. I was able to work hard and improve myself thinking of how badly I wanted to show it to all the Marshmellows waiting to see more. I worked hard every single day to make you proud and to hear what you’d think. And I’m sad, to have this all end.

Me and the other members, we trained together and saw each other day in and day out. We were all nervous and insecure when we first stepped on stage but I was able to watch them grow and grow with them these last few years. All while being led by an amazing Leader who always supported us and motivated us. Gradually as time passed, we were able to go our own ways and to try out different things that were more us, that supported our own colors. It was amazing to see, how we all found ourselves through Mellow and through you guys. We found not just each other, or you guys but we found ourselves and that’s something so great..

I don’t think this will fully be the end, I don’t think we’ll never see each other again. We’ll be here, always. Mellow will always be here and we’ll always be members of Mellow. We may not promote as such but Mellow isn’t something that will die because we won’t let it. These last two years have been amazing and I’ll never forget it, I’ll always look back and feel happy and proud of how far we’ve gone and because of that we’re now able to all follow our own paths. Standing here today, with Sophie and you guys, I’m sad but I’m also happy because of what we accomplished together and what our future will be because I believe it’ll only be brighter than it’s alreayd been and I hope that whatever happens we can support each other and we’ll never forget the happy moments we shared together. 

[BREAKING] MELLOW OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES THEY WILL BE DISBANDING

Mellow is disbanding. On the 1st of December, the members of Mellow officially announced they will no longer be promoting as Mellow and will be going their seperate ways.

The group’s disbandment has been in talks since mid-2018 after both Gyuri and Emi announced their hiatus from the group for personal and health reasons. Mellow’s last made a comeback in early 2018 and has been rather quiet ever since. Despite June and Sophie still attending their individual schedules, Mellow has not had any formal activities since weeks before Emi and Gyuri’s hiatus announcements.

On the 1st of December, their label officially updated it’s official website with a statement. ‘We are announcing that Mellow, after 2 years, is disbanding. The decision was made after much discussion with the members and our staff and we have come to the conclusion that this is the best option. We want to give Juneand Sophie the freedom to explore and further grow as artists. As a thank you to all the fans that have stayed faithful to Mellow for these short two years, the remaining members (Sophie and June) will be holding a last fanmeeting to say goodbye. Thank you to all the fans all around the world for being with Mellow. While this is a goodbye to Mellow, it’s not a goodbye to the members.’

Mount Records released a statement regarding Mellow’s youngest member, announcing that after a few incidents she was taken to get a check up and was diagnosed with a panic disorder. According to a representative, the member has been having a hard time with recurring panic attacks and will be undergoing treatment. She will be taking a break from the group to fully focus on improving her mental health and will be returning to the group once she’s in a better state. Mount Records also firmly stated that she will not be leaving Mellow and will be returning to the group once she’s ready to do so.

Mellow is known for their rocky journey, the group originally debuted with 5 members and lost one of their members in late 2017. It’s rumoured member Juniper left due to issues with the company but announced that their departure was for personal reasons. Just a month ago, member Gyuri also announced her break from the group with an indefinite hiatus without much further explanation. She released a statement on Mellow’s fancafe announcing that she didn’t mean harm and hopes to return with a full heart again.

MELLOW’S SOPHIE HOSPITALIZED DUE TO EXHAUSTION

It was reported that on August 20th, Mellow’s leader Sophie was admitted to the hospital as a result of fainting on her way to a personal appointment.

According to a speaker of Mount Records’, the female singer was heading towards an appointment at a hair salon as her manager, Beom Jung ( TWT: @90_BEOM ), noticed the woman’s unhealthy state. Sophie was pale and unable to keep her balance as she walked slowly, holding onto the man’s arm to steady herself while seeming focused on her steps and trying to not fall down. Only when the two stopped walking, dizziness hit the female and the young idol collapsed on the spot, scaring not only he manager but passengers and the hairdressers nearby.

Today, Gyuri updates Mellow’s youtube channel with a studio cover version of BIGBANG’s Flower Road! In this cover, showed off her harmonized and smooth voice, as well as impressing the fans with her rapping skills! Check it out HERE!

Dear Marshmellows! Can you believe it’s been two years already? We’re in August now, yet it feels like we barely debuted. I don’t feel like it’s been so long, I feel like a newbie. I still feel the same excitement whenever I step on stage or get to meet Marshmellows. I feel happy, seeing how much we improved as a group and seeing how far we’ve come in such a short time. There’s still so much for us to experience and try out. I can’t wait for what the future holds for us. We’ll continue to work hard and provide as much happiness as we can.

It’s been hard for me, writing this letter. I know not everyone has been happy with my decisions recently and it’s only been a little while since the news was released, but I wanted to make a personal statement to you guys and explain a little bit of my side. I know it’s unusual, we’ve only debuted 2 years ago, being so busy with schedules and everything on my mind, I never imagined for this to happen but we both made the decision to carefully try and pursue this relationship. I’m not asking for your forgiveness or acceptance, the decisions I’ve made, I know not everyone will be happy and I can’t tell anyone how to feel. I however, hope to ask for understanding towards my members and the rest involved! Hereby I promise to work twice as hard and show you that I’ll never lose focus or sight of my job, of Mellow.

Just a few hours ago, Mellow’s June and rising model Kim Jimin became wrapped up in dating rumours. After Dispatch updated their website with pictures of two celebrities embracing each other at night. Netizen concluded these two individuals to be labelmates Jimin and June out on a secret date and provided various pictures with proof. Mount Records has since then come out and posted their initial statement.

On the 20th of July, it was reported that member June of the new subunit Heok! And set member of girlgroup Mellow has tumbled off the stage as result of a slippery floor. The female reportedly hurt her knee in the process and was brought to visit the hospital after. Fortunately her injuries aren’t too bad and she’s able to resume her schedules as of normal according to a representative of Mount Records who released a statement.

‘It is true that June took a scary fall. We concluded that the floor had not dried down properly after cleaning in between rehearsals which resulted into June slipping and falling off the stage. We took her to the hospital right away for a check up and it seems she’s not too badly injured and will be able to carry on her schedules as of normal. We will be investigating on the poor stage conditions in hopes of avoiding any future accidents and injuries!’
