The 34-year-old wrote on Facebook, “January 2, 2017, Sodagreen will officially go on hiatus”.
Ever since their bombshell announcement, Sodagreen has declined almost 23 event appearances and four endorsement deals. Fans have originally thought that the band would go on hiatus after their Taiwan ‘In Summer’ tour in September, only for Sodagreen to announce a potential Germany tour later.
Later, the band revealed that they have not discussed the date of their hiatus at first, but decided to set a date in order to assure their fans. However, they also maintained that the date was not set in stone, and that they might go on hiatus earlier if plans for their New Year’s Day performance fall through.
“The three year hiatus is only a reference. Truthfully, we don’t even know [how long the hiatus will be]. We’ll rest first and take things as they go after that,” Tsing-fong shared.
It was also reported that the band decided to go on hiatus to ensure that the members could have enough rest, and that they will still continue embarking on their individual projects and schedules.
