Korean netizens are in a buzz after a former contestant from ‘Nizi Project‘ and ‘Girls’ Planet 999‘, Sakurai Miu, made a surprising claim about her past.
In a recent teaser for ‘Produce 101 Japan The Girls‘ on YouTube, viewers got a sneak peek at the eager contestants, including Sakurai Miu.
But what caught everyone’s attention was her bold statement that she was once part of NewJeans, a K-pop group. Miu even said she practiced with NewJeans members just before their debut.
This declaration left Korean netizens both puzzled and skeptical. Many doubt the truth of her words, wondering if she said this to create drama for the show or if there’s been a misunderstanding.
Despite the debates, it’s still unclear whether Miu’s claim about NewJeans is genuine. People are eager to find out if her story can be verified in the music industry.
Netizens had a lot to say:
“Can you really confidently tell such an obvious lie? It’s impressive.”
“I almost went to Oxford University, guys.”
“How could she have been in NewJeans when she was on ‘Nizi Project’ and ‘Girls Planet 999’? NewJeans started training in 2020, right?”
“That’s a blatant lie.”
“Maybe she lied because she’s desperate to debut after so many survival shows.”
“I doubt she was ever an HYBE trainee.”
“Remember when someone claimed they’d be a Girls’ Generation member, and Taeyeon said that was a lie? LOL.”
“No way she practiced with NewJeans. They trained for two years in 2020, while she was on Nizi Project.”
“She’s full of lies.”
