Sowon added, "After the disbandment, I felt heartbroken for a while, but I have to move on, I have to keep going down my own path. So I couldn't stay heartbroken for too long. It did take me some time to logically understand what happened, though. Now that it has been over a year, my groupmates and I have all accepted it and gotten used to not being together. To be honest, I think I had the most difficulty adjusting to the whole thing."
