Member Seo Ji Soo tentatively opened up about her past incident against malicious rumors, which caused her to join the group later than the others even though she had prepared just as hard as the others for debut.

Shedding tears, Seo Ji Soo shared, "I was scared, but I tried to fight it off by myself, by pretending that it wasn't affecting me and pretending to be stronger."

Fellow 1994-liner Lee Mi Joo added, "Ji Soo had a really tough time. Because she had to debut later, she can't help but not know a lot of things, so she's always trying to catch on from the side, which makes me feel bad."

Maknae Jeong Ye In also shed tears expressing sorrow toward Ji Soo for her hardships.

We support and cheer on Seo Ji Soo for brighter, happier days ahead!
