Na Haeun herself is a famous YouTuber, with over 5 million subscribers. She gained attention with her K-Pop dance covers at a young age.
As of August 1, 2024, she has confirmed that she has left SM Entertainment. According to XSports News, she has decided on leaving the company and putting an end to her time as a trainee at SM Entertainment. She has currently already left the agency. Fans do not seem particularly disappointed with the decision.
- Someone said way earlier that it seemed like SM Entertainment was just using her to get attention for their next girl group and had no plans of debuting her… But anyway, I think she’ll live well even after leaving the company.
- I knew it. I read the reviews of the stage evaluations of the trainees, and they said Na Haeun was always put at the side, and didn’t seem to stand out.
- She doesn’t suit SM Entertainment anyway…
- What a f*cking relief. If she debuted, she would’ve been someone good at dance, but with lacklustre visuals like Shotaro… Go find a group that matches your visuals.
- Damn, what a relief. She f*cking didn’t suit them.
On the other hand, it seems like her career is still looking up. Na Haeun threw the first pitch at the Doosan Bears vs. Kium Heroes game on August 3, 2024.
