  "textContent": "Former **PRISTIN** member **Jung Eunwoo** just cleared up a **huge mystery** for fans.\n\nOn the 29th, **Jung Euwnoo** posted a Reel to her Instagram with the caption,**'I'll finally talk about the question I've been asked the most: The disbandment!!'** and she did not hold back on why the group actually disbanded.\n\nFor anyone who needs a quick refresher on how crazy their career was, **PRISTIN** debuted back in **2017** as a **10-member** group, including **Eunwoo** alongsid**e I.O.I members Lim Nayoung** and **Zhou Jieqiong**. They completely dominated the rookie scene right away, living up to all the early hype by winning**Best New Female Artist** at the **2017 MAMA Awards** and snagging another **Rookie Award** at the **27th Seoul Music Awards**. But out of nowhere, they ended up **disbanding** on **May 24, 2019.**\n\nIn the video, **Eunwoo** started from the beginning, sharing, _\"I started training when I was in the**third year of middle school**. **PLEDIS was the first agency for both me and the other members.** \"_ After surviving the trainee days, she participated in**'Produce 101'** before officially debuting with **PRISTIN**. She admitted:\n\n> _\"At the time, we were considered**one of the industry's most anticipated groups** , so I had **high expectations** too.\"_\n\nEunwoo pointed to the company's**multi-label system** as the **biggest factor** behind the group's **disbandment** :\n\n> _\"I can't tell you everything that happened, but our company had other groups besides us, and there were so many things they had to take care of.**As we gradually got pushed further down the priority list, I don't think many opportunities came our way anymore.** \"_\n\nThankfully, Eunwoo has a healthy perspective on it now. She explained, _\"At the time,**it was really difficult** , but looking back now, it was an **incredibly valuable and meaningful experience**._\" She also stated that she has **zero regrets** about her time with **PRISTIN** , saying:\n\n> _\"Even if I could go back in time,**I'd choose the same career, join the same company, and do it all over again.** I have no regrets.\"_\n\nHer journey is honestly incredible, especially considering how much she went through even before her debut, having participated in **multiple audition programs** like **'Superstar K4,' 'Voice Kids,'** and**'Produce 101.'**\n\nShe didn't give up after PRISTIN disbanded. In **November 2019** , she actually **re-debuted** in the girl group **HINAPIA** alongside former PRISTIN members **Kyungwon** , **Minkyung** , and **Yebin** , though that group unfortunately **disbanded** as well in **August 2020**.\n\nSince then, she has completely started fresh. Recently, she updated fans to let them know that she has moved on to a **regular job** and is currently working as a **consultation manager** at a **plastic surgery clinic.**",
