While news reports continue to write about fan speculation, Cube Entertainment has yet to make a statement about it.
For context, Soojin had previously quit the group due to bullying allegations which she has always denied. Recently, it was revealed that Soojin was found not guilty of bullying during a school violence committee in high school, fueling the wish of many (G)I-DLE fans for the idol’s return.
