IT was announced that BEYOOOOONDS Ichioka Reina (25) announced that she will be graduating from the group and Hello! Project.

She had been on hiatus from her activities since December last year due to poor health, but with this announcement she will be graduating. Her graduation concert will not be held. This is the first time that a member of BEYOOOOONDS, which became a 12-member group in December 2018, has graduated.

Ichioka wrote, “I have been on hiatus from activities since December of last year due to poor health, but my condition has been up and down depending on the day, and I am very worried about whether I will be able to continue my activities as usual”.

She requested that she not cause any trouble, and after talking about her future plans, she came to the conclusion that she would graduate. She told her fans, “I would like to apologize to everyone who has been waiting for the resumption of activities for not being able to live up to your wishes. I will continue to move forward toward my next goal”.

She also posted, “I have been taking a break from my activities since December of last year due to poor health, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to my fans and those involved. I decided to graduate because I judged that it would be difficult for me to return under the current conditions. I am very grateful to the BEYOOOOONDS members who helped me with concerts and radio while I was on hiatus. Thank you”.
