UEE has been thinking about her future with female group After School. So on a recent interview on April 1st with 'Ilgan Sports,' UEE explained that she considering on "graduating" from the group so that she can focus on "acting." UEE stated, "I don't think there's much time left before I graduate from After School. In the past, my ambition to stand on stage rather than to act was strong, but these days, my ambition for acting has grown. Whenever I think that, I feel that my graduation day is nearing. I'm not saying I need to graduate right away, but I do feel like I need to pass on my position to my dongsaengs." She further explains by stating what she will do if she does decide to graduate from the group. UEE said, "After graduation, I want to focus on acting. That's why I find every performance at events precious now. It's more poignant now that I think there isn't much time left for me on stage."
