We would like to sincerely thank Elly, Sei, Lua, RIna, and Lucy, who shone brightly as members of Weki Meki, and although their group activities have come to an end, we will do our utmost to help them move forward in the future as well. We ask that you send lots of love and support to Elly, Sei, Lua, Rina, and Lucy, who will be showing you even more activities and varied sides of themselves.
Once again, we and the Weki Meki members thank you for all the love and support you have sent them up until now, and we ask that you continue to give the Weki Meki members lots of interest and encouragement as they take the first steps of their second leap forward.
