Former SeeYa Member Nam Gyu-ri Opens Up About Group's Disbandment After 15 Years

Former SeeYa member Nam Gyu-ri has opened up about the group's disbandment for the first time in 15 years.

On the September 29th episode of SBS's 'My Little Old Boy,' Nam Gyu-ri invited fellow members Lee Bo-ram and Kim Yeon-ji to her home to celebrate their 20th debut anniversary. The reunion naturally led the trio to reminisce about their days as SeeYa.

Lee Bo-ram reflected, “Our time as SeeYa was shorter than expected. I never imagined we would disband like that,” adding, “We debuted on 'Inkigayo' and ended on the same stage, and I couldn't stop crying at that moment.” She continued, “We hugged each other and cried for a long time after leaving the stage.”

Listening to the conversation, Nam Gyu-ri paused before cautiously sharing her thoughts. “I was young then and couldn't fully understand the situation,” she admitted. “I often wondered how things might have been different if we had even one good adult around us.”

She expressed regret, saying, “If that had been the case, SeeYa might have lasted longer and in a different way.” Kim Yeon-ji echoed her sentiments, saying, “Realizing it was the end brought a mix of emotions,” and the three were momentarily speechless as they recalled those times.

The conversation then turned to their reunion after disbandment. Lee Bo-ram said, “I never imagined we would perform together again,” to which Nam Gyu-ri replied with a laugh, “We didn't know it would happen either.” In fact, SeeYa made a significant impact with their reunion performance nine years after disbanding.

Nam Gyu-ri shared, “I realized how many people were waiting for us when my phone almost died from reading all the comments,” adding, “I can't return all the love we've received, but I hope to bring happiness to everyone someday.”

Meanwhile, SeeYa has recently announced their reunion, exciting fans with the news.
