• Netizens React To HYBE Calling LE SSERAFIM As Their "first" Girl Group Forgetting the Existence of GFRIEND

    On May 2, the girl group "BTS sister" LE SSERAFIM officially debuted with the MV Fearless.

    Right before debut, LE SSERAFIM met with many mixed opinions because member Kim Garam was accused of a violent past at school.

    Despite public opinion, HYBE still let this member debut with a new girl group.

    HYBE's way of promoting LE SSERAFIM has once again created a lot of controversy.

    LE SSERAFIM officially debuted with Fearless

    Specifically, in a post about LE SSERAFIM's new achievement, the management company did not hesitate to call this girl group "HYBE's first girl group".

    This makes fans of GFriend and GLAM - two girl groups under the company unhappy.

    Although they are not the groups that were launched by HYBE, but have joined HYBE, they are still the company's girl group.

    Description of HYBE, roughly translated: LE SSERAFIM, album sales on release day… HYBE's first girl group

    Strictly speaking, GLAM is the first girl group of HYBE when they debuted in 2012, before BTS, then disbanded because of member Dahee's scandal.

    Under HYBE, there are also GFriend and fromis_9, two girl groups that are "transferred" by the company.

    In addition to causing controversy for ignoring the existence of previous girl groups to call LE SSERAFIM "the first girl group", HYBE was repeatedly accused of neglect by Knet, causing GFriend to disband.

    GFriend…
    … and fromis_9 are both HYBE's girlgroups

    Some comments of Knet:

    • Don't you dare to erase the traces of Bangtan too
    • HYBE please fail.
    • GLAM disappeared before Hybe so it's okay, but GFriend is a group under HYBE, what's with the term "first girlgroup"?
    • What happens to HYBE is that they will try to cover up everything.

  • 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.
