On August 19, Yerin’s agency Sublime Artist Agency (SAA) announced that Yerin would star in the upcoming web drama “Witch Shop Reopen” (literal title) as Lee Hae Na.
“Witch Shop Reopen” tells the story of Lee Hae Na, a dark witch who owns a witch shop. She comes to meet Ji Ho, a shy and helpless high school student without any dreams and the two come together to save the witch shop that is at risk of closing. The drama depicts the story of growth the characters undergo through emotions of love and friendship.
Yerin’s character, Lee Hae Na, is a unique witch whose hobby is gossiping and talent is putting curses on others. While she has the good looks and magical ability to draw in humans, she has zero talent in running a business. With the help of her friends, she will try to save her shop from closing in an entertaining way.
Commenting on her acting debut, Yerin shared, “I’m so happy and excited that I get to show a new image to my fans. Although I’m really nervous because it’s my first time introducing myself as an actress, I’m working hard to showcase a good image. Please give me lots of support!”
IOK Company made the announcement today through their official press release, welcoming Sowon to the company.
Sowon, who has been loved as the leader of GFRIEND, will change her stage name to Kim So Jung and make a new leap forward with IOK Company. We will give our full support to Kim So Jung so she can shine and show off her endless potential and talents as an actress.
We ask for your support and interest in Kim So Jung’s future activities. (c)
On June 17, Sublime Artist Agency revealed, "We are happy to begin fresh with our newest artist, Yerin. We plan to support Yerin actively so that she can greet her fans through a variety of promotions. Please send your unchanging encouragement toward Yerin, who will be greeting you from now on as an artist at Sublime Artist Agency."
Yerin, who debuted as a member of GFriend in 2015, recently parted ways with her original label Source Music last month. Meanwhile, Sublime Artist Agency represents top stars like Song Kang Ho and Rain, and is also home to idols focussed on their solo promotions including EXID's Hani, GOT7's Jackson and Youngjae, Lim Na Young, etc. (c) allkpop

[!] It is rumored that GFRIEND will redebut under a new name. They can't use the name GFRIEND because Source Music owns the trademark to the Korean name of GFRIEND. On March 11 this year, Source Music applied for the trademark of GFRIEND’s English name as well. We do not know if those rumors are true. We will keep you guys updated.
GFRIEND members took to Weverse to express gratitude to their BUDDYs with each member uploading a straight-out-of-heart handwritten letter. You can read the english translation below the cut. (source)
GFRIEND will be parting ways with Source Music.

Following the report, the agency released the following statement:
Hello. This is Source Music.
The exclusive artist contract with GFRIEND and Source Music will conclude on May 22.
After careful consideration and extensive discussion, GFRIEND and Source Music have come to an agreement to follow separate paths to continued growth.
For the past six years, GFRIEND has won the boundless love of K-pop fans through a wide range of concepts, performances, and songs that marked a new generation of girl groups and music.
We would like to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to GFRIEND who has allowed Source Music to accompany them on their journey.
We would like to deeply thank all BUDDY and fans who have shown your love for GFRIEND, and we ask that you give your unchanging love and support to the members who will begin their adventures in new and diverse areas.

Source Music has released their official apology after Sowon uploaded a picture of herself posing with a N*zi statue.
In their apology, they stated that they were not careful enough with their inspection process, and vowed to never make the same mistake again.
“Hello, this is Source Music.
We would like to sincerely apologize for causing controversy with the behind the scenes VCR of GFRIEND’s comeback show and the photo uploaded by Sowon.
In November 2020, a staff from an external broadcast station rented out a cafe in Paju to shoot the VCR for GFRIEND’s comeback show. Our staff also filmed video there for our behind the scenes clips and photos for the members’ social media.
The staff member in charge did not recognize there was an issue with the mannequin’s attire during the on-site inspection carried out on the day of the filming. Since then, a behind the scenes video was uploaded on December 12, and a picture was uploaded on January 31, and both underwent internal inspection before being released, but they were uploaded without the problem being noticed.
We apologize that we were not able to check in advance that there were inappropriate props at the filming location, for not thoroughly inspecting the filming process and uploading the content, and not paying enough close attention to societal issues and historical facts. We would like to bow our heads in apology to those who may have felt uncomfortable with the video and picture.
The problematic parts of the video have been corrected. Sowon was also very surprised to learn about the meaning of the photo, and deleted it immediately. She feels deeply responsible for posting such a photo.
We will make sure to note how the content we produce and share can affect many people, and pay attention to social issues more in the future.
Once again, we sincerely to those who may have been hurt by the photo or video. — Source Music”
