Wreaths In Front of CUBE Entertainment Demand for (G)I-DLE Soojin's Withdrawal
Recently, three wreaths were seen in front of CUBE Entertainment. Two were normal flower wreaths, while one was a rice wreath. All three included messages targeted at CUBE Entertainment concerning Soojin remaining in (G)I-DLE.
In most Asian countries, including South Korea, wreaths are sent to congratulate others for special events, such as company openings, but can also be used for funerals. It is usually sent to wish someone luck, happiness, and peace.
However, these wreaths were sent with demands of Soojin to step down from the group.
The wreath at the far-left reads, "Why are you halting activities where there are no activities? School violence should not lead to self-reflection but withdrawal from the group."
The middle wreath - the rice wreath - reads, "CUBE, who is protecting a school violence perpetrator, is also a perpetrator."
The last wreath at the far-right reads, "Either explain yourself properly or quit the group."
The wreaths were reportedly sent to CUBE Entertainment by (G)I-DLE DC Inside Gallery fan club. Previously, the fan club announced that if CUBE Entertainment were not to release a follow-up statement concerning Soojin's school bullying controversy and carefully explain why Soojin is innocent, they would continue to boycott Soojin's position in the girl group.
CUBE Entertainment has not released a statement concerning the three wreaths seen in front of the company.
Not the First Time a Wreath was Sent to CUBE Entertainment Demanding for (G)I-DLE Soojin's Withdrawal
Back on Mar. 2, a user on an online community forum shared a photo of a wreath in front of CUBE Entertainment. The flower wreath includes two messages for CUBE Entertainment which reads, "Call for an investigation concerning the truth on Seo Soojin," and "Do not just self-reflect on the school violence, withdraw from the group."

CUBE Entertainment did not respond to the wreaths. However, people are convinced CUBE Entertainment has seen the wreath and dismantled it. People believe this is so because a trash bag was seen in the same spot the wreath was later that day.
How Did People Respond to the Three Wreaths in Front of CUBE Entertainment?
Many lauded the (G)I-DLE fan club for continuing their boycott and for sending wreaths to the company. People agree with the sentiments stated in the wreath, stating that Soojin should withdraw from (G)I-DLE unless they clarify the situation. Many also hoped that Soojin herself sees the wreaths so that she would see the public's opinion on her.
Others wondered if CUBE Entertainment would throw away the wreaths, just like they allegedly did to the first wreath sent to the agency.
