• Cube Entertainment Ends Soojin's Contract

    Former (G)I-DLE member Soojin left the agency. 

    Cube Entertainment announced on March 5 through an official statement, "The exclusive contract with our artist Soojin has been terminated." 

    A representative from the agency said, "In response to the controversy raised in February of last year, the company and Soojin tried for a long time to determine the authenticity through a police investigation, but the investigation result came out that it was not appealing (no charges). I am sorry for causing concern to many people with this incident.” 

    Earlier, in February of last year, an article that revealed that Soojin had been a bully at school was uploaded to an online community. Soojin denied the bullying allegations, but the controversy did not subside when actress Seo Shin Ae confessed that she had been bullied at school.

    Accordingly, Soojin stopped activities in March of last year and left the team in August of last year after six months of controversy. In addition, she had to leave her agency. 

    The following is the full text of Cube Entertainment's position

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
