(G)I-DLE Becomes Hot Topic For THESE 'Remarks' Against Cube Entertainment
On December 13, (G)I-DLE attracted attention from their fandom Neverlands. The reason was due to the team's cryptic messages they wrote during a recent interview.
In particular, the quintet appeared in the YouTube web content, 1theK's "KINGboard with (G)I-DLE," on the 12th.
The mechanics of the interview is that they will be asked questions and they should chat or type their answers using the huge keyboard in front of them.
During the interview then, (G)I-DLE were asked:
"What is Cube Entertainment to the group?"
In response, Yuqi immediately wrote:
"Ppyong."
When leader Jeon Soyeon asked for its meaning:
"What is Ppyong?"
(As a context, "ppyong" is a Korean slang commonly used when saying goodbye in a cute manner. This is also used to describe a thing disappearing in an instant.)
Yuqi replied:
"Doesn't it mean goodbye?"
Jeon Soyeon was flustered a bit yet she smiled awkwardly before saying:
"Hey, you're really mean."
The teasing didn't stop there as Shuhua confidently stepped up to the front of the keyboard and typed:
"I'll be..."
"Two years left (of the contract period)."
The maknae's remark instantly devastated the hall. Jeon Soyeon then hurriedly deleted the message, but Shuhua was upset and asked:
"What's wrong?"
The leader pretended not to hear her and instead wrote:
"I love you so much (Cube Entertainment)."
Miyeon also said:
"But I really acknowledge it. I really love you (Cube)."
