"I feel sorry about it.", she replied when asked about the group's disbandment.

"Other members feel much sorry about it as well. It's unfortunate, but we had something meaningful. We've worked hard, bringing our minds together to achieve something.", Kim Doyeon stated.

"The disbandment already happened, and we can't change that. Now, we members are starting the second act. I hope everyone can fill it with something new and something they like."
"I don't want my memories of the group to be only sad. Everyone has done so well. With the strength the members give me, I hope I can start my new chapter well, too.", the actress said fondly.

Kim Doyeon ended up bursting into tears, overcome with emotion.

She explained, "I'm sad that Weki Meki activities are over, but mostly, it's because I remembered how much we've tried."

"The passion we had was precious.", Kim Doyeon added as she wiped away the tears.
Kim Doyeon continued, "Yesterday (October 31) was the preview of 'Idiot Girls and School Ghost: School Anniversary', and the members of Weki Meki and I.O.I showed up for me. I felt so reassured when I got up on the stage and saw all of them in the audience."

"(Choi) Yoojung texted me after the preview, saying, 'You're doing fantastic. You're the best.'. I've been feeling down lately since I wanted to do much better. Yoojung's support gave me so much strength when I needed to boost my confidence.", Kim Doyeon shared, expressing how touched she was.
