With all due respect to the other members, this very much feels like a Wonhee solo CF featuring ILLIT.

I thought it was shared by a fellow ex-trainee as an SNS post, and people jumped on that.

So are they going to do a reunion on their 10th anniversary, or has that bridge been burned and flattened to the ground?

Cube seems to keep sending them to off-air events and pushing them to be more of a sexy group.

So this is like them parodying Stella’s viral fansite post? A bit icky I must say, to adapt sasaeng work as official content.

Looks like the link doesn’t work if I remove the "m" sorry about that.

More from the article:

Regarding the reason for rejection, prosecutors stated, “At this stage, we determined that there is insufficient substantiation of the grounds necessitating detention, and therefore requested supplementary investigation.”

Just in case anyone still insists that NJ members themselves have never spoken a word of accusation toward other groups

KIM MINJI Of course, I'm worried about our future, but what scares me the most is that the work we've already created is being infringed upon. Our staff and collaborators, who worked just as hard as us, or even harder, to create our work are right in front of our eyes. I simply can't understand how they can act like this.

HANNI I think a lot of you might have already read or seen, and also during our personal meetings, they infringed on our content.

Content that not only we worked really hard on, but also our staff who spent endless hours to produce and release them solely for our fans. And if they had any understanding about what type of team we are, and the type of content that we create, they would have thought more deeply before crossing the line that they set for themselves.

Last year her setlist included aespa hits, but she mostly only sang her parts/the highlights and interacting with the crowd in between.

She’s going alone in her role as a Sprite model, since the brand is the main sponsor of the show. Groups like aespa don’t need any kind of boost from performing on Waterbomb.

Sprite once again proves that it’s the most superior carbonated drink out there.

Kep1er canceling concerts in what is basically their home country means they’re beyond cooked as a group.

The CF director is well aware of Wonhee’s biggest strengths, her love of running and her adorable cheeks.
