Shocking update on the small-agency girl group that got a really bad reaction...jpg (they’re my faves, and I thought they didn’t have much time left... I’d really appreciate it if you gave them just one look...)

Cube girl group LIGHTSUM

Their hiatus kept dragging on, and then out of nowhere they announced a project where they’d redebut in Japan

At first, the response was seriously bad

They even did a Japanese redebut documentary reality series in Japan called Re:Idol

The response was freaking awful when this was first revealed too

It actually got a much better response in Japan than expected, which had me like, WHAT

Translated from X post

Nayoung’s interview at the end seriously made me cry............. 💛: I’ve been feeling this a lot lately, but having my calendar so packed every single day is really overwhelming. Not because it’s so hard that I can’t handle it, but before, if a friend asked me to hang out, I couldn’t go because I didn’t have any money. I didn’t have the money to go eat something delicious or expensive with you…

Seriously made me cry... 😭

That show brought them a lot more supporters in Japan

but anti-Korea trolls started throwing a fit, going, “Why are they copying Japanese girl idols!!!”

For example, tweets like this

If you look at the account

Yep, anti-Korea troll. Hi.

B U T

Japanese fans themselves are stepping in and dragging those anti-Korea trolls 😭😭

The longtime fans who knew LIGHTSUM from Produce 48 and the newcomers who found LIGHTSUM through the documentary have completely united to drag the trolls and support LIGHTSUM

I’ve actually been quietly following and supporting LIGHTSUM too

but Cube wasn’t giving them proper promotions and their hiatus just kept getting longer, so I’d been bracing myself

But then they suddenly redebuted in Japan and everything started coming alive again, so I’m incredibly happy 😭😭

Please show LIGHTSUM lots of love and interest 😭😭

I liked Nayoung during Produce, and I felt so bad for Chowon too, so I’m really glad they’re getting a response 😭 I hope they receive lots of love. Let’s go, LIGHTSUM!!!

Oh man, Han Chowon was a victim of the Produce vote-rigging too. I hope she does well

And of course they had to debut during COVID too 😭 They started out with barely any promotions where they could meet fans in person, and even for their debut album they only just managed to hold an offline fansign 😭😭........ Members left too, and they went through all kinds of things, so it must have been really hard, but they’re all so lovely, so please look kindly on them... I hope Sangah, Nayoung, Chowon, Juhyeon, Yujeong, and Hina all do well,,🤍⚡
