iKON’s Bobby Unexpectedly Reunites With A Former Girl Group Member, Who’s Now A CEO
Entero season 2 kicked off in November with iKON‘s Bobby joining the cast. Recent guests on the show have included BLITZER‘s Sya, Woollim Entertainment‘s boy group Golden Child, DSP Media‘s newest girl group, YOUNG POSSE, and more.
In the most recent episode, Bobby was joined by fourth-generation girl group CLASS:y, whose members joined the group through the idol competition program My Teenage Girl (also known as Teenage Girls), which aired in 2021.
To meet the girl group, the cast visited PocketDol Studio, where the members were posing as company staff to prank the hosts.
Once Bobby successfully identified the members who were posing as staff and located where the remaining members were, they took him to meet another important staff member.
CLASS:y immediately took Bobby to see their CEO, who surprised the iKON member with her beauty.
Staff members asked Bobby if they recognized her, and as he thought about it, the CEO revealed she had debuted a day before iKON.
The CEO is none other than actress and former DIA and F-VE DOLLS member Seunghee.
Seunghee, who professionally goes by Cho Yi Hyeon, left DIA at the end of her contract in 2016 and explained in an interview two years later that she decided to leave the group to further commit herself to acting.
I cannot say I was a leader at that time but cannot express my conerns because I have a confusion in my identity for a long time. It was also the situation that the contract period was expired at the time, so I left the company, finished the drama I was doing and took the year off.
— Cho Yi Hyeon
When she mentioned debuting with DIA the day before iKON, Bobby asked if they promoted on Show! Music Core and stated he remembered seeing her.
Cho Yi Hyeon then re-introduced herself as the CEO of M25, a subsidiary of PocketDol Studio, and executive producer and manager for CLASS:y.
Cho Yi Hyeon has produced for other artists in the past. Check out more on that in the article below!
