• Netizens wonder why HYBE reveals the identity of the "trainee" who never got to debut with LE SSERAFIM

    Because of what was in their documentary, LE SSERAFIM has become a hot topic.

    On September 15, Source Music surprised everyone by saying that they will release a documentary called "The World Is My Oyster".

    This documentary will show how the new girl group LE SSERAFIM got together and grew until they finally made their debut.

    In one of the episodes, there was a trainee who was supposed to make their debut with LE SSERAFIM. Netizens were surprised to see that the trainee's name was given away in the video without any hesitation.

    Her name is Haruka . Why did HYBE say her name and put her in the video? Netizens think it's very likely that she'll show up in I-LAND 2.

    Some people thought that the trainee might be in the upcoming girl group version of I-LAND produced by Belift Lab, which is part of HYBE Labels.

    Other netizens also speculated, that maybe the agency is testing the waters if the trainee will be accepted by the fans and add her in the group to replace Kim Garam.

    Other netizens commented:

    I hope that LE SSERAFIM doesn't add her as a new member. Her vibe doesn't fit.

    Anyway, they took her out of the group in the beginning because she didn't fit the group's image, so I think they'll just keep going as 5.

    They should have shown her off first instead of that jerk. Why did they get rid of her?

    She looks nice. Kim Garam isn't as good as her.

    I think they'll look at the responses, and if they're good, they'll either add her to the group or send her to I-LAND. I don't mind if she joins the group, since their original idea was to have six wings, right?

  • NewJeans pauses activities and shares tearful reaction to fan's sweet message — fans say “we’ll wait forever”

    NewJeans quietly paused their activities after a tough legal battle… but a simple message from a fan left them emotional.

    On April 12, NewJeans posted a single photo on their shared social media account, now renamed "mhdhh" (using the first letters of Minji, Hanni, Danielle, Haerin, and Hyein), without any caption.

    The photo was of a short, handwritten letter from a fan that read, “I love you. I support you.” Touched by the heartfelt words, NewJeans added a crying cat emoji, showing how much the support meant to them.

    Fans quickly noticed and filled the comments with love and encouragement like “We’ll be here no matter what” and NewJeans forever.”

    This quiet but emotional post comes as NewJeans remains in a hiatus following a contract dispute with their agency ADOR.

    Back in November, the members announced they would be starting solo schedules under a new name, NJZ, claiming ADOR had broken the terms of their contract. However, ADOR fired back with legal actions, including a lawsuit and a request to stop the girls from signing with other agencies or brands.

    Last month, the court sided with ADOR, which forced the group to pause activities under the NJZ name. Their social media was also renamed from NJZ to “mhdhh” earlier this month.

    Member Danielle recently opened up about her feelings in a long message on her birthday, just days after the official trial started on April 3 at the Seoul Central District Court.

    Even though they’re not currently promoting, NewJeans’ fans continue to show strong support — and this small fan letter proves just how much that love means to the members.
