I have read the letters of the girls and my heart feels an immense pain that will surely take time to heal. Anyway, I will support the girls follow the path they follow because those 6 girls will always be friends. Saying goodbye is such a difficult word to say and Buddy knows how much pain we are feeling right now. I hope the girls are well, take care of their health, don’t skip meals and sleep well, we will warmly welcome any project that their want to offer us either individually or together. I am grateful to God for having given me the opportunity to meet these sweet, beautiful and talented girls, I appreciate the songs they gave us, the laughs we had with their nonsense, the pride that filled our hearts and what I learned from each of them. Buddy always be Gfriend’s buddy ♥️

Stay strong Buddies. This is not the end.
