According to PLEDIS, the company and the group had a long discussion and ultimately decided to disband today.

In the end, we decided to respect the member’s opinions.”

Too many members in a group and none of them stand out lol they are probably better off disbanding and doing their own thing.
First of all, that’s not very nice, especially to the former PRISTIN members. Secondly, PLEDIS Entertainment also have a group called SEVENTEEN with 13 members, which is 3 members more than PRISTIN had, and they’ve been doing well for the past 5 years and will continue to do so, especially this year, SEVENTEEN are now a million seller from their newest album, Heng : Garæ.
