(G)I-DLE’s Soyeon Namedrops Former Member Soojin In Shocking Performance
(G)I-DLE‘s Soyeon has been on a mission to deliver the most shocking and jaw-dropping raps this past year. Her most recent performance on the second night of this year’s MAMA Awards in Japan has definitely taken the crown as the most buzzworthy one, though.
In the past few months, Soyeon — never one to shy away from addressing controversy head-on — has been talking about her contract with CUBE Entertainment and much more in her self-written raps. And she stayed true to herself when she shockingly mentioned the name of her controversial former bandmate, Soojin.
The special performance for the grand MAMA event was offering jawdropping visuals dance and vocals before Soyeon started her shocking rap, but it was definitely elevated to a new level once she started rapping the lines uniquely crafted for the MAMA performance.
In 2021, you said, “Do you think you’ll make it without Soojin?”
Contracts and companies, I said I’m going to take care of it.
I wouldn’t have made it here if I were the type to be swayed by things like that.

For those who may not know, former member Soojin parted ways with (G)I-DLE after she was hit with bullying accusations. Initially, Cube Entertainment announced that Soojin would be taking a temporary hiatus from activities. However, by August of that year, it was confirmed that she had officially left (G)I-DLE, though she remained under the agency. Since then, the group has continued on as a five-member act.
