hey everyone, it’s me, dae-byeol i wanted to share something important with you all honestly and openly these last three months after my “debut” have been… strange. at first it was exciting like a brand new stage with endless possibilities, but lately opening scratch each day has started to feel empty. my songs aren’t gaining much attention and i realize now that chasing popularity isn’t the point anymore. back in grade 6, scratch really took over my life. it distracted me, pulled my grades down, and honestly, became more of an addiction than a hobby. now with graduation coming next year, i know i can’t let that happen again. seeing how people are using ai for almost everything: writing, drawing, coding, making music, made me realize i don’t need to stay stuck in something that doesn’t make me happy. so i’ve made a big decision: i’m quitting scratch permanently. this also means that my xmas single, "fa-la-la-li-days" will officially be cancelled. it’s not because i don’t care about music, i just need to focus on skills i actually enjoy and that make me feel alive. i want to improve at volleyball, basketball, cricket, and learn how to professionalise my hockey skills in order to join the team this year. i don’t even want to sing... and k-pop isn't just my jam anymore.. so it’s time to move on. hazel @hazyisurbestie is also cancelling her scratch career for the same reasons as me and both of us will continue pursuing our irl passions ❤️ shout out to @IT-girlies for being the best they can be. big thanks also to @hazyisurbestie and @LUCID0502 for all the support along the way!! @LUCiD0502 was there for me ever since 5th grade, when I made my first account and has been following ALL my accounts since, ilysm! lastly i want to thank my idol @yoonaofficial whether she knows me or not she has always been my #1 favorite s-pop idol and a huge inspiration <3 and i also want to thank scratch... for making me feel valued once. </3 I hate to see myself leave, but I KNOW it's for the best<3 so bye guys<3333333 i know my hiatus just ended but i feel like i have to leave in order to truly succeed. thank you to everyone who supported me even for a little while while i figured out who i am. this isn’t the end of our story it’s just the start of a new chapter. let’s continue growing together I love you guysss and be yourselves<333
