Former (G)I-DLE member Soojin is making her return to the K-pop scene as a solo artist after facing allegations of school violence and leaving the group
Soojin signed with BRD Entertainment and announced her solo debut with the release of her first album “Lady” scheduled for Nov 8th. Soojin’s return has generated considerable attention and curiosity due to the unresolved school violence allegations that continue to follow her.
Soojin’s agency, BRD Entertainment, has stated that she will use her new album “Lady” to showcase a mature musical style and distinctive qualities that set her apart as a solo artist. She is actively engaging in album promotion following her return.
Soojin’s comeback has raised questions about how the public will respond and whether she can convince them to move past the lingering school violence accusations. Some critics remain skeptical, and the allegations continue to overshadow her career.
Moreover, Soojin’s return naturally leads to discussions about (G)I-DLE, the group she used to be part of. During a challenging period marked by unexpected allegations and controversies, the group, after Soojin’s departure, had to rebuild their identity. Despite their achievements since then, their connection to Soojin is undeniable, and her return brings renewed attention to their past affiliation.
Soojin previously denied the school violence allegations and took legal action against the accusers. However, police investigations concluded that the accusers were not guilty of spreading false information. Afterwards, her legal representative emphasized her innocence and her acknowledgment as a victim of coercion by senior students during her first year of middle school.
