After our announcement on May 18th that “Jurina Matsui will join KLP48 as a playing manager,” we have been discussing a more concrete business partnership with Ms. Matsui.
While we have not been able to fully explain the details of her future activities in Malaysia, the management side has already been progressing with much work and has concluded that it would be difficult to ask Ms. Matsui to serve as a playing manager at this time, so we have mutually agreed to suspend the request.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused to Ms. Matsui, the fans who support KLP48, and to all those involved.
KLP48 Management
———————————————————————————————————————————
When I heard that I would be asked to support KLP48, I was very happy to be able to give back to the fans who have always welcomed me so warmly and to the overseas 48 Groups.
I truly wanted to support them together with the staff, so I am very disappointed that things have turned out this way.
I am very sorry to all those who were looking forward to this.
Just like the members who decided to transfer from Japan, I graduated with a strong determination, so I did not think about becoming a 48 Group member again.
After the announcement, I received many great responses and was happy to learn that there are many fans overseas.
Thank you very much for all of the kind messages.
I sincerely hope that in the future, the first generation members, who are to be the center of KLP48, will have a stage where they can shine and an environment where they can work as they are.
Although I will not be involved as a playing manager, I will continue to support my favorite overseas 48 Groups, including KLP48!
I will do my best so that you can see me grow as an artist as well!
I sincerely hope for your continued support in the 48 Group!
Jurina Matsui
