An idol who entered the industry with big hopes and dreams has now found herself at a crossroads. Rather than continuing down the path of an idol, she has decided to go in a new direction.
Julia An has been a member of the Japanese idol girl group Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu for the past 8 years. She joined the group as a new member on October 14, 2018, two years after Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu released their debut single in November 2016.
On January 13, just two days before her 22nd birthday, Julia announced that she will be leaving or “graduating” from Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu on March 29. In her announcement, shared on the group’s official website, Julia revealed that she never expected to be able to work as an idol for as long as she has, and being an idol allowed her to meet many people and experience things that she might not have been able to otherwise.
Julia mentioned her peers, who are approaching their graduation from university and are about to embark on a new journey. With this in mind, she decided that now was the time to also think more seriously about her own future. At this time, it’s unclear if Julia plans to remain in the entertainment industry or return to idol life in the future.
Julia An’s final activities will take place on March 29, at Pia Arena MM in Minatomirai, Japan.
