So…. does that mean it's all on him now?
And we’ll just.. chill? Since he’s now the one to decide when his last day will be?
Did he just announce his resignation?
Well.
We had finally reached the true beginning of the end.
In a memo written right after promotions for Chain Reaction, Cara shared this heartfelt choice he made a few months ago: After careful consideration, he decided to step down from leadership on the day of his enlistment.
That meant he will, in a way, resign - becoming the third leader to leave in this manner, after Risa more than a decade ago and Aliza five years ago. Unlike these two, however, his last day was not yet determined. But this only meant that from then on, he will be the one to decide on his fate. And since October 17, the date when the memo about his group’s fate was shared to Weverse, his leadership status had changed from a regular ‘current leader’ to ‘outgoing leader’.
Since that memo, we spent the last few months finding answers to many questions about his fate, but mainly the following: Will he make it to June, and will STAY disband as five? Will he, like his bandmates in both of his groups, release new music before his last day?
And when will be his last day as a leader?
When will that day be?
I was not surprised. And I almost did not even care!
Besides finding the answers, it was otherwise a continuation of his weakest era yet. Since we were already done now with everything, what else can I do? I just focused fully on my work.
By then I was already on my way to making another career leap. Once again, I was moving to another line of business, albeit in a good way this time. The team I was with at present was arguably the best I worked with to date. Which then made me quite sad because I won’t be able to work with them for the moment, especially since a team building activity for them was already underway.
The moment we were given that opportunity - an opportunity to join a new voice team - I took that right away. You can tell that I went with it for professional growth. But there’s actually another reason to it, something which I cannot explain in detail. Just to give you a quick overview, though: A new dynamic was about to happen to my experience, and for that reason I needed change.
The day came when this change was starting to happen. I felt anxious. But I was hoping that this new path would compensate my feelings of unease.
But suddenly..
I received a message from a stranger working in the company.
