"R U Next?", the JTBC girl group survival show, has successfully launched one of the most popular 5th generation K-pop groups, ILLIT. The show introduced many talented trainees, garnering overwhelming love and support from fans globally.
Among these loved trainees was Chanelle, who allegedly left the industry to pursue college. Known for her impactful performances on the show, her absence from the debut line-up left many fans devastated.
Amid the news of FIFTYFIFTY's re-debut with new members following a lengthy legal and media battle, the group's official Instagram account recently uploaded a silhouette teaser. Fans were quick to speculate that Chanelle was among the teased figures, igniting excitement and curiosity.
- As much as I loved FiftyFifty, I do not want Chanelle in there or anyone else to be exact. I don‘t want anyone to get mistreated. Aran, Saena, and Sio, we miss you so much and we‘re sorry that this company didn‘t treat you like you would have deserved to. I hope they finally woke up and chose to treat them right and make them big. Fighting!
- I think I saw Chanelle. I hope they'll treat her right if it's really her
- Is that Chanelle and Hyewon?
- Why did I see Chanelle and Jihyun? Am I going crazy, help?
- Miss Chanelle?
- THE CHANELLE MOON?!
- Is that Chanelle’s smile?
- Is this chanelle mooonnnn
Block if you support FIFTY FIFTY 2.0.
