Nam Gyuri Leaves SeeYa for Solo Career

Both Chae Dong Ha and Nam Gyuri were both once in the same company and were leaders of SG Wannabe and SeeYa respectively. And so it seems natural that Gyuri would in time follow the same path as Chae Dong Ha.

News of her departure broke today and was confirmed by her management, MNet that Nam Gyuri would leave SeeYa and become a solo artiste instead. She had participated in the OST recording for her debut movie “Gosa” on 12th July.

Nam Gyuri debuted in 2006 with SeeYa together with Lee Boram and Kim Yeon Ji. They were labelled as the female version of SG Wannabe because they were trained by SG Wannabe and sang the same genre of songs.



She was caught in a wardrobe malfunction controversy in 2006 when her right breast was exposed while SeeYa was performing Beyonce’s hit “Crazy in Love”. The pictures spread like wildfire over the internet although some viewed it as a publicity stunt. This however raised her profile even higher than before.

During the course of filming “Gosa”, Nam Gyuri had receive many acting offers with some even asking her to quit singing totally. Although she rejected the offers then, but after discussions with her management, she decided to become a solo artiste and leave the group instead.

As this is her debut movie and song, famous composer, Cho Young Soo was roped in for the soundtrack and Nam Gyuri’s sad ballad will fit in with the movie theme of anger and sadness.

Ooosh. So she's going to pursue an acting career...

Nam Gyuri is cute (but plasticized looking), which will definitely help her. I can definitely see her hitting it big time in the acting arena, but what will happen to the lovely SeeYa?

WTF!?!?!? I love Nam Gyu Ri in SeeYa, but now what's going to happen to SeeYa?!?!?!?? Are they going to be just a duo? What now? Im so Sad about this.

Nam Gyu Ri to be a solo actress, it doesn't specifically say that, maybe a solo singer?

Im more worried about SeeYa though, maybe Nam Gyu Ri will be replaced?

aww...

I wonder whats going to happen to SeeYa...

What? she can't leave Seeya , why go solo? just do ur own solo activity while having seeya as ur group ~

... gosh, seeya is not going to be the same again

Shes such a conceited bitch I swear. she can sing but she is so not the best voice in SeeYa, it's not fair that only her gets to be solo while the more talented voices in SeeYa will probably just goaway for good -.-;

That doesnt mean she's conceited. We know its sad she had to leave, but its still her choice. Its not like SeeYa will be there forever. And its not like the other members 'cant' go solo. If the other members wanted to go solo, I'm sure they will be very good in their solo work ^_^

sad to read this but is still her choice so have to respect it..
all da best in her acting career..
