Ex-PRISTIN Member Eunwoo Says Company Deprioritized Group

Her Instagram explanation frames Pledis Entertainment’s promotion choices as a key reason a highly touted 2017 rookie group lost momentum.

Overview

  • Eunwoo posted an Instagram Reel on Sunday, June 29, 2026, saying the company had many artists to manage and that PRISTIN was gradually pushed down the priority list.
  • She said delayed and missed promotion opportunities left the group inactive and contributed to its May 24, 2019 disbandment.
  • Eunwoo described training from middle school through Produce 101, said PRISTIN was very promising at debut, and noted she now has no regrets about her path.
  • After PRISTIN split, Eunwoo re-debuted with former members in HINAPIA for under a year and has since worked as a consultation manager at a plastic surgery clinic.
  • Commentators use Eunwoo’s remarks to highlight how an agency’s allocation of promotion and resources can determine a group’s commercial life and to prompt fresh scrutiny of Pledis’ handling of PRISTIN.
