Brown Eyed Girls depart for New York holiday

Girl group Brown Eyed Girls, including member Ga-in who was hospitalized earlier this week from over-exhaustion, left for a well-deserved week-long vacation in New York.

"I'm healthy again after staying in the hospital for a day. I will rest all I need to in New York so that my fans don't worry over my health ever again," Ga-in said ahead of her departure at Incheon International Airport on Thursday.

"It was worth waiting for the past two months to go on this vacation because of the great response we got for 'Abracadabra'," members Miryo, Jea and Narsha all said. "We thank you all so much for the love and we'll comeback even stronger after our holiday."

Popular since their debut in 2006, the four-member group made a comeback in July, sweeping music charts with song "Abracadabra" in their third regular album.

They reportedly raised over eight million dollars with the hit single in ringtone downloads, online downloads and album sales.
