“They Closed Her Tab” – Zena: From AI Girl Group MAVE: Left the Group, Netizens Are Confused

MAVE: debuted last January 25, 2023 as a four-member virtual girl group under Metaverse Entertainment with the song "Pandora."

After only a few months since their debut, netizens are confused, is Zena allowed to leave the group despite being an AI idol?

Apparently yes, despite having no official confirmation from their "X" official account, Zena apparently left the group as MAVE: was her backstory before becoming a game character.

@anjieluvsyou In legit tears 😭 #mave #mavezena #kpopnews #funnykpop ♬ PANDORA - MAVE:

However, some speculate that it must have been a problem in her contract hence she left the group. Nevertheless, Zena, being an AI K-pop idol who left made netizens tease them about it, speculating the reasons why she left.

WTF DO YOU MEAN ZENA IS LEAVING MAVE??? DID THEY DELETE HER FILES?

They commented:

• She's a character from the game "Paragon" before debuting in MAVE:, I think it has something to do with the contract between Mave's company and Paragon
  • Oh wow! That’s low-key quite cool
• Do people not realize that Zena is also a game character and MAVE: is her backstory, it's what she was doing before she was isekai'd into the game realm
• She got deleted
• They’re so unserious
• They closed her tab
• They used motion tracking so the human that they put the overlay on probably left the company
• If they add a new member to take her place, is she like DLC?
• What’s even funnier is that Zena was the only member to appear in Netmarble’s (MAVE’s company) game for "The Seven Deadly Sins."
• I guess the human VA left, but they probably could have just replaced her and no one would have really noticed.
• I'm in literal tears over Zena being part of MAVE: before getting isekai'd into the game. I'm in tears for real
• Like what do you mean she’s leaving?
• This is the funniest thing ever.
