On August 1, 2024, it was confirmed that she had left the company. Fans wondered if she would be returning back to life as a YouTuber, given that she possesses over 5 million subscribers on her personal account where she posts dance covers.
Fans were surprised when they heard that she was spotted at STAYC‘s recent fanmeeting, STAYC MOVIE CLUB held on August 30 and Septemer 1, 2024. She posed for photos with other girls who are allegedly also trainees at the company. Although she was all covered up, her eyes were unmistakable.
It was further claimed by fans online that most of the other dropouts from SM Entertainment’s recent trainee showcase had also been transferred to High Up Entertainment.
Given STAYC’s current growth and popularity, it seems like High Up Entertainment is becoming a popular choice for girl group hopefuls.
