the kpop industry lost so much talent with that contract termination like it's actually insane that they had THIS and couldn't keep it now i'm pissed again
grown women, age appropriate concept, good music, good performers and live singing. we need to make gp like viviz actually big so that becomes a standard in kpop
KiiiKiii was clearly meant to be a NewJeans alternative, but with cuter members and less drama. Their concept leans into the same kind of Y2K/nostalgia bait. ILLIT has nothing to do with nostalgia. The plagiarism accusations were forced by MHJ and never had any real merit.
Four Lies Told by Pham Hanni.
1. Claim that ILLIT mocked her
Hanni asserted—even in court—that ILLIT mocked her through their words and actions.
However, she presented no concrete evidence to support this.
Despite that, this claim caused ILLIT to become a target of tokkis and suffer harassment.
2. Distortion of the greeting incident
Hanni claimed that ILLIT greeted her briefly and coldly, but CCTV footage shows ILLIT bowing 90 degrees to her.
3. Suspicion of fabricating the “ignore her” remark
At the National Assembly hearing, the manager testified that he said “ignore her,” but in her own messages, Hanni said she didn’t remember exactly what he said.
It was actually Min Hee-jin who suggested the phrase “ignore her,” effectively establishing the wording “mu-si-hae.”
4. Inconsistency in her claim of deciding to attend the hearing alone
Hanni said she alone decided to attend the National Assembly hearing and that the company wasn’t aware.
But it was later confirmed that the day before the hearing, a meeting took place with lawyer Sejong, Min Hee-jin, and Hanni together.
