[AKP] Fans worry that HINAPIA's agency has closed due to financial difficulties leaving the group stranded

[My Everything]

HINAPIA fans are left on feelings of tenterhooks as there are rumors going around that HINAPINA's agency has gone out of business due to financial difficulties.

The group's agency, OSR Entertainment, has taken down their company sign at the office building according to come fans. Also, there haven't been any updates on their official Instagram page since early June and there were no uploads on the official website either.

HINAPIA alluded to their comeback to be in March of this year. However, their comeback became close to impossible due to the coronavirus pandemic. Also, the members have created their individual Instagram accounts to communicate with fans since there haven't been any uploads on their group Instagram account.

Previously, a fan sent a birthday gift to HINAPIA's agency for member Minkyung's birthday. However, the fan revealed that the package was returned to the sender because there was no one to accept the package. Since then, there have been rumors of the group's disbandment.

Many fans are starting to believe that the company might have closed due to financial difficulties, more so, because there was no celebration for member Eunwoo's birthday that was on July 1st. 

Due to these speculations, many fans are expressing their sadness saying, "I thought things would work out for them", "This is sad", "Can't believe they're not successful when they have the skills and the looks."

Members Minkyung, Kyungwon, Eunwoo, Yebin, and Bada had come together after the disbandment of PRISTIN to make the group HINAPIA. HINAPIA made a debut with their single 'New Start' and promoted with their title track "DRIP".

Unfortunately, there haven't been any new releases from the group since then and also their comeback status is unknown.

OOF, first ANS now this? Today is not a good day for small label groups. I feel even more sad knowing PRISTIN members were in this group.

This is a bad year for little kpop companies

I hope Pristin members are ok tbh. Since its their second group falling apart due to reasons they could fo nothing about. This is sad year for kpop tbh.

This totally sucks They had one of my favorite debut songs from last year.

I was wondering what happened to them because they didn't release anything since the debut, not even a digital single or anything so sadly it's very likely they have disbanded. I wonder if Ariaz will be in the same situation too. They don't release anything since the debut either.

they can't catch a break huh

This is what of lot of UBY feared. COVID basically killed off (no pun intended) several small groups. Hinapia depended on fan signings and personal appearances rather than music to make money (the CEO even talked of overseas concerts) and if they couldn't do that, there was no way they were going to make it - especially considering how much money goes into comebacks.

I can just hope Minkyung regroups them again - just like she did last year when Pristin disbanded - and tries again. I really can't believe no middle-ish size company or investors didn't snatch the former Pristin members to begin with. They are pro-idols, still young, all their training done, who have won awards and have a built-in fanbase (even in their first Vlive as Hinapia they didn't even bother to introduce themselves - except for Kim Sea).

I noticed how they disappeared months ago and it looks like the members are just doing lives so i figured something must have been going down behind the scene
