However, SourceMusic has refused to elaborate on the circumstances but stated that "There is no problem with Yuju. She will resume her schedule normally in December."

Though the SourceMusic has attempted to mitigate the rumors, the fact that they did not give a specific explanation for her absence has not succeeded in mollifying the fans' worry and anger.
