This situation with Minnie manager is a little weird, twitter is going crazy over it some say she is dating him other say he is a creepy guy, but what i have to say is, if she was dating him cube would taking him out of the scene but he still by her side like literally
They absolutely are not dating. Fans who think that are making their delusional jealousy issues obvious. I don't think he's creepy but there's some physical touch on display that is definitely a shock to fans. He should probably reign that in no matter how comfortable Minnie is with him. Maybe fans are starting to realize the members have a pretty comfortable and casual relationship with their staff. It probably looks unprofessional, but I HIGHLY doubt any of the group would let a staff member being inappropriate to them fly. They're grown women.

The complaints about his treatment towards Minnie are born of sheer fan delusion. If he's being rude and aggressive to fans though, that should be looked into. I think the whole thing is fucking stupid either way.
I also don't think he's creepy but just very comfortable with her and she is with him, but he have some atittudes when Minnie is interacting with the fans that make lots of fans angry, because at the end of the day she is an idol. It's just a little unprofessional of him i would say.
It's basically over for him now, because all the fans will overanalyse every situation and hate him even more, he is very lucky gidle don't have the hardcore crazy fans like in some bg.

Shuhua always gave me sus vibes, and I will stand by it - she's at least bi. At the end of the day, if you go to my hometown and ask my sister, she'd also say that I'm straight and never expressed any interest in girls. But here I am, 24 carat lesbian :whistle:

What's the consensus on Shuhua here?
Supposedly there was an insider who knew her sister and said she's straight/never expressed any interest in girls. I always thought she was sus before hearing that, but that seems to be the consensus.
DA That's what I've heard too. No tea on the Chinese side she's anything but straight. On the other hand, I've never heard a single dating rumor about her. I get the feeling she's an ally but very private and potentially traditional.

So, no gay Yuqi I guess. Her and Minnie were talking about liking the same b*y at that school tv show :sadangel:
They actually never specified a gender the eng subtitles always add male pronouns, but tbh yeah it was probably a boy. I don't think it's that's surprising no?
Def a b*y, sadly Minnie is clearly into them, no lesbian or even bisexual girl I know is into that mlm crap, especially as Hard as she is. It's not that big of a surprise, but not gonna lie, those anons with their essays got some lez hope circulating through this thread :lol:
Fun speculation while it lasted! Too bad. Yuqi might be an oblivious straight woman, but at least she's not homophobic and is comfortable having a close friendship with a butch woman. I was on the fence about Yuqi having something going on with the stylist, but now I'm pretty sure it wasn't a thing. Her old couple bracelet made a reappearance in the latest choreo behind the scenes i-talk. I've suspected she's been dating a certain someone, and that bracelet popping up again seals it for me.

The mystery of the elevator remains unsolved. :argh:

Ugh, now our only likely bisexual is off dating some basic love island bro. I was so here for the excitement. Sorry for the depressing het talk. :mask:
I know lots of bi women who like mlm. Also, SK is extremely conservative. Talking about boy crushes honestly means nothing. It could be to fend off rumors. Just look up what happens to openly LGBT idols in SK. So tbh I think you can still consider any member to be possibly queer.

The absolute SUS VIBES of two k-pop idols collaborating on a song (in both lyrics and concept), about a secret relationship and the only evidence of it is supposedly an unreleased title track one of them wrote... like I cannot lmao.
I hope you’ll forgive me for bringing up a 2 years old post since I was catching up on old stuff…. If you’re still here, person who was delulu over the meaning of Dark and the X-File… After looking at dates of things and evidence, I’m right there with you in clown town.

In other news, has anyone watched their recording process of Super Lady? It’s so cool to see their process and Soyeon’s leadership.

lol did y'all see the MV reaction? 90% of it is just the members talking about the "love"/couple scenes. lmao I never thought they would address that so directly:





on one hand, I feel like I should be annoyed by "women high-fiving about queerbaiting" but they're being so candid about it and it's interesting to hear them talk about what it's like shooting scenes like that. imagine the behind the scenes discussion about that. who makes that decision? does soyeon tell the director "we need to shoot a few spicy gay scenes for.. reasons." (what are those reasons btw? soyeon wrote oh my god and then realized she needs to throw her lesbian fans a bone every now and then lmao?) or did she just want this MV to be gay? because they went through the effort of casting twinks too. it's walking a fine line of baiting and representation.

Guys, what's going on here? I had high expectations about the charts because of the previous comebacks, but it doesn't look good, and they're already promoting. I'm starting to honestly think it would be better if they hadn't come back now, every day there's news about some GIDLE member feeling unwell or going to the hospital.
The song just isn’t hitting with the GP. It’s a throwback 2nd gen sound releasing in a time where the public is eating up New Jeans. It also lacks a strong memorable hook and they took a big risk letting the member with the most divisive voice open up the song.

Wife is charting decently because at the end of the day it’s an actual ear worm.

Soyeon honestly just missed on this one. There’s a lot of this comeback that feels rushed and underbaked.

They definitely couldn’t afford to hold off on the comeback. They already missed a 2nd comeback last year because of Heat. The group is speed-running the last 2 years of this contract. Their schedules have been brutal lately. This year we’ll get a tour + 2nd comeback and probably a solo album.

On the plus side, album sales are looking pretty good.

It looks like the public liked more "wife" than super lady but super lady can still climb up in the next weeks

Kpop bubble bursting as others said + IU dominating charts. Sucky thing is her song was a prerelease too so she's just gonna be topping the charts for entirety of February through March.

There's also another logical reason, the massive growth was driven by the pandemic and that bubble burst once the pandemic was over (people had more money to spend in albums since you couldn't go out and go to concerts) and now we're seeing the effect. Like imagine you want to go to 2 or 3 kpop concerts that year, you're gonna prioritize to save money for those concerts over buying albums.

And the reason why some groups aren't being affected like gidle is because their massive previous comebacks so they can still overcome that. I think drop in sales is a mix of reasons instead of only one, the main one is the pandemic bubble bursting (just look the all laying off happening from big companies), kpop fans stanning more groups than before and the success of previous comeback.

Um, anyone want to talk about the album? 😭

Super Lady reactions look pretty mixed so far. I like it though but the track length is a bummer. Sounds very YG.

Wow also the MV was gayer than I expected. Outside of those shots of Minnie and Soyeon and shuhua and Yuqi, did anyone else notice the only men in the MV were very obviously styled and directed to be… um..very flamboyant. I even wonder if the men they hired for this were actually gay. I guess that does fit well into the Diva concept and the Beyoncé and Lady Gaga influence.

I like a lot of the B-sides. Minnie very much in her New Jeans era. Lyricist Miyeon! Yuqi with a swagger song.

It’s criminal how short this album is though. This is an EP, not a full length album.

Also the official album design is horrendous. Who approved that??
I agree with almost everything you've said.

I absolutely loved the Super Lady's MV! It's so powerful. And Minnie and Soyeon... Oh my gosh, that was so sexy, so gay of them. That's why gidle is my favorite. I am still mesmerized.

I also noticed the twinks. Like, they have all the mannerisms, so I think they are indeed gay men. That was funny... seeing those probably gay men in that context and outfits. Maybe gidle knows their fanbase.

I am getting worried about how Super Lady is performing on the Korean charts. I don't understand how it works, but it doesn't seem good at the moment (don't hate me if I am being dumb here).... .I hope the song does well on the charts, they put a lot of effort into it, and it was so expensive!! I love them for their music and how funny they are, but I also want them to reach #1 on the charts.

I don't like that music is getting shorter! Is this TikTok's fault? Is it a NJ syndrome? NJ has a great song that's only 30 seconds long. What's the problem, guys? I really hate this trend. Just 7days is at least 3 minutes long. It doesn't look like a full album.

Btw, I loved Vision and Revenge!! What about you?
The reaction to Super Lady right now is mixed, but that was also the same for Queencard and look how that was their biggest hit. Wife being released for streaming early also might have an impact on chart performance. We need to wait and see if Super Lady picks up the pace on Melon, but I wouldn't worry too much right now. I doubt it will be hitting any #1 spots because IU will be dominating the charts for a while.

Album sales are doing surprisingly well. Already broke 1M and I think people were skeptical about Cube's 1.8M pre-order number. The bigger bars are boycotting, China's economy is struggling (along with the PC market), and looking at the drop in sales of Itzy and NMIXX's comebacks made it seem like the k-pop market was potentially in a slump. I have no idea where all these sales are coming from considering China is a huge portion of the fanbase. The song might not chart as high, but album sales are already looking like a win. We'll see if it can hit the stock pre-order number.

Song length is probably a product of streaming. Shorter song length = more streams. It sucks and I hate that the group caved to that trend.

I like Revenge, Doll, 7 days, and Rollie (which unfortunately has a het line from Yuqi. Oh well).
DA I'm curious, does the fandom have an idea which countries the fandom grew the most? I mean those sales indicate the fandom is growing. US? Europe? Japan?

It's not only Itzy or nmixx but also top bgs who experienced a drop in sales or little growth (svt, skz, t*xt) last year but it's also possible those groups already reached their peak or their previous comebacks weren't that successful. Usually sales of a comeback are the indication how successful was the last comeback since the most of fans buy during pre-order period. Another reason could be after the influx of new groups debuts last year, many kpop fans are now stanning more groups (so less money to spend per group) or dropping their previous groups for newer ones.
No, people aren’t sure where the sales are coming from and are baffled at Cube’s 1.8M PO - and the group might actually hit that.

I know there were a surprising amount of streams coming from Russia, but that would be a lot of organized buying power and we’d hear about EU GOs that size. The question really is what’s going on with China. On weibo they’re so skeptical about the numbers, they think Cube might be trying to pull something shady to inflate album sales for shareholders (as if Cube could even afford to do that). The sales from the bars are much lower in comparison to previous comebacks because of the boycotts. That would mean a lot of individual Chinese buyers not ordering through the bars. It would be amazing to stick it to the bars though and take them down a notch. Sales don’t need to be carried by groups that boycott over whiny bullshit.

The domestic fanbase might really be carrying sales as well. It’s hard to say if the fandom in the US has grown enough to offset lower sales from China, but I doubt it.

Queencard was massive, and I think the success of that song brought in a lot of fans from all over who are willing to buy albums. It’s really interesting that the group seems to be not as affected by the sales slump other groups are facing.

Super Lady however is having a struggle on the charts lol.. domestic GP really isn’t feeling a 2nd gen sound it seems. It’s REALLY funny to see Wife outchart it. Some dumbass meme song might get in the top 10 while the title track stays mid lmao.

It’s a fun song but as a concept it’s less interesting than previous comebacks. Like, yes women!! I’m here for that. But this whole album concept still feels… what even is it lol? Feminist Diva 2nd gen? I hope they promote some of the other bsides.
Is it possible chinese fans are buying outside of bars? Like you said Queencard did so well so that comeback brought so many new fans maybe from different places so there's not an influx of fans only in one or two places.

About Cube being shady, it's easy to prove in their next tour. If the fandom is growing it should translate to a bigger tour and also bigger streams but if the fandom has no idea where those sales are coming from, it'll be hard to know because those fans couldn't use plataforms different to spotify or Gidle could not be touring in their countries. What about south america?

I mean like I said the previous comeback is what matters for next comeback sales so if other groups cbs weren't massive, the growth won't be big, if you add new groups debuting so more groups to stan and kpop fans loving new shiny toys..

Another reason could be some pandemic fans move on from kpop or the initial group they stanned when they got into kpop.

Sales can also depend on number of comebacks. It's not the same to have one comeback per year than several comebacks per year.

I also read photocard market is a mess because many fans buy many albums for collection purposes but companies are releasing too many versions which is impossible to collect so some fans give up and they end up buying less versions.

There are so many factors which could affect sales drop 😅 This year we'll see if the general drop in sales was only an exception in 2023 or it'll continue in 2024. It's also possible some those groups reached a temporal or definite peak, I mean it's hard to grow comeback after comeback.

I also noticed the twinks. Like, they have all the mannerisms, so I think they are indeed gay men. That was funny... seeing those probably gay men in that context and outfits. Maybe gidle knows their fanbase.

I am getting worried about how Super Lady is performing on the Korean charts. I don't understand how it works, but it doesn't seem good at the moment (don't hate me if I am being dumb here).... .I hope the song does well on the charts, they put a lot of effort into it, and it was so expensive!! I love them for their music and how funny they are, but I also want them to reach #1 on the charts.

I don't like that music is getting shorter! Is this TikTok's fault? Is it a NJ syndrome? NJ has a great song that's only 30 seconds long. What's the problem, guys? I really hate this trend. Just 7days is at least 3 minutes long. It doesn't look like a full album.

Btw, I loved Vision and Revenge!! What about you?
The reaction to Super Lady right now is mixed, but that was also the same for Queencard and look how that was their biggest hit. Wife being released for streaming early also might have an impact on chart performance. We need to wait and see if Super Lady picks up the pace on Melon, but I wouldn't worry too much right now. I doubt it will be hitting any #1 spots because IU will be dominating the charts for a while.

Album sales are doing surprisingly well. Already broke 1M and I think people were skeptical about Cube's 1.8M pre-order number. The bigger bars are boycotting, China's economy is struggling (along with the PC market), and looking at the drop in sales of Itzy and NMIXX's comebacks made it seem like the k-pop market was potentially in a slump. I have no idea where all these sales are coming from considering China is a huge portion of the fanbase. The song might not chart as high, but album sales are already looking like a win. We'll see if it can hit the stock pre-order number.

Song length is probably a product of streaming. Shorter song length = more streams. It sucks and I hate that the group caved to that trend.

I like Revenge, Doll, 7 days, and Rollie (which unfortunately has a het line from Yuqi. Oh well).
DA I'm curious, does the fandom have an idea which countries the fandom grew the most? I mean those sales indicate the fandom is growing. US? Europe? Japan?

It's not only Itzy or nmixx but also top bgs who experienced a drop in sales or little growth (svt, skz, t*xt) last year but it's also possible those groups already reached their peak or their previous comebacks weren't that successful. Usually sales of a comeback are the indication how successful was the last comeback since the most of fans buy during pre-order period. Another reason could be after the influx of new groups debuts last year, many kpop fans are now stanning more groups (so less money to spend per group) or dropping their previous groups for newer ones.
When I say "previous comebacks weren't that successful" I mean they were less successful than their previous cbs or they didn't make enough impact to gain a lot of new fans like past cbs

Super Lady reactions look pretty mixed so far. I like it though but the track length is a bummer. Sounds very YG.

Wow also the MV was gayer than I expected. Outside of those shots of Minnie and Soyeon and shuhua and Yuqi, did anyone else notice the only men in the MV were very obviously styled and directed to be… um..very flamboyant. I even wonder if the men they hired for this were actually gay. I guess that does fit well into the Diva concept and the Beyoncé and Lady Gaga influence.

I like a lot of the B-sides. Minnie very much in her New Jeans era. Lyricist Miyeon! Yuqi with a swagger song.

It’s criminal how short this album is though. This is an EP, not a full length album.

Also the official album design is horrendous. Who approved that??

stumbling upon this for the first time and reading so many comments adamant about yuqi being straight, acting as if any news to the contrary is some big upset to expectations and such... how can somebody's gaydar be so broken? yuqi is one of the most obviously non-straight kpop idols I've ever seen

ah! that was you? I never took it as confirmation of the supposed "ex GF" it's just a rumor still. did you find those accounts on your own btw? if so I'm curious how. I find it difficult to find tea on minnie in comparison to the other members. most I've heard about her has all been pre-debut stuff. I know there was also a photo of her with some guy and she was holding a flower bouquet so people were speculating that was a boyfriend, but also might have just been a friend. still pre-debut stuff though.

i find it so interesting that Minnie doesn't have a lot of tea or gossip post-debut. i could just be looking in the wrong places. but I also think knetz are less interested in her in terms of gossip, they tend to be more curious about the Korean members, miyeon especially. they don't like yuqi and shuhua as much because of the china/taiwan stuff, yuqi especially because she posted something pro CCP. but you can find a lot of gossip on them from the cnetz/cfan side. because minnie is thai, I think she's maybe in a weird place as a foreigner in terms of that sort of interest. but she also could honestly just be a lot less sloppy than the other members as I said lol. it's just funny how the other members have more rumors and receipts than her. maybe she's a smart girl and knows how to be careful. or she's been lucky. I really wish I had more info, but my detective skills haven't been much help in digging up anything more current on her.
Yes, I found it on my own. How? I really don't remember, it was a little before "Hwaa," so it's been a while. At that time, I was quite obsessed with Minnie and probably searched all possible combinations of her name. I think Minnie from the pre-debut days was a bit careless because once I found one thing, it was relatively easy to find other information about her. Honestly, her username was practically the same on all social media platforms. Her Instagram username has been the same since I found it years ago, I find that kind of silly. Surely, she has become more cautious about her personal life, especially now that she's much more famous, but I still think there's a lot of luck involved, as no one, as far as I know, has found anything else about her. Or if someone has, they must be keeping it quiet. I don't have the same energy to go crazy investigating her life or anyone else's like I did before.

I'm the anon who posted about the stylist,
Hi anon!!! Just wanted to thank you so much for your incredible detective work and observations. This thread has been some of the most nuanced, legitimately grounded theorizing about a kpop idol I've ever seen. From my perspective as someone not involved in the Gidle fandom (and thus without a stake in anything), you seem to have been very objective. At this point, it's hard to imagine a possibility in which Yuqi is not dating the stylist, if only because the rest of the group's reaction to them together on camera was pretty telling. If it was strictly a friendship, even a blurred-lines one, why would the group be acting in such a concerned/uncomfortable (or amused like Minnie was in that clip) way to their closeness? That, coupled with the other clues you've tracked down and Yuqi's own behavior in terms of 'gay stuff,' makes it seem like them being in a relationship is kind of the only plausible unifying thread of all of this.
Also, the receipt about Yuqi wearing the stylist's shirt the morning following the 2 am live was pretty telling, lol. I'm a bit bummed the pics have expired bc I wanted to take another trip down memory lane and relive the excitement of reading this saga LOL, but totally understand why it's safer to make them expire should any unhinged denizens of Kpop twitter find this page. Anyway, just wanted to thank you so much and I will always look forward to any more thoughts you have to share about Yuqi or the group in general.
Btw--any thoughts about Minnie? I think you had mentioned (sorry if it was a different anon) that Soyeon was most likely dating the guy from Single's Inferno and Miyeon seemed to be in a relationship. Miyeon has never appeared suspicious to me, although I think she and the rest of the group are def allies, but from what I understand Minnie had pre debut receipts?
ha yeah sorry about the pics. when I first started posting about this I was extremely skeptical myself so didn't really consider i'd be posting things that could be exposing someone. well, the "tea" is on this thread now but at least if people want photo evidence they have to hunt for it themselves. it still doesn't seem like this has spread or anyone else is openly talking about something suspicious. i keep tabs on the cfans and kfans. i don't think kfans would talk about this at all even if they noticed, they don't like the stylists and probably dislike that the members are close to the staff. cnetz are more gossipy, but they mostly know about yuqi's het receipt so she's been clocked as straight in their eyes.

about the other members in terms of dating:

Anyone still here? Or have all the nevies finally ditched this forum? :bigcry:

My thoughts on the comeback so far:

I really don’t know where they are going with this. The teaser video is so different than the concept photos they’ve released so far. I don’t think it will actually have anything to do with the album concept.

What is the album concept though? So far I’m seeing a 2nd gen sexy/mature concept and the girls look great, but it seems so shallow compared to everything else they have done in the past.

I don’t mind a sexy concept at all but I hope it’s not too male-gaze without much of a message to justify it.

The album packaging is mid too. The logo stuff is clever and I liked the teaser video but overall I am not sure how much I am feeling this so far.

Hopefully the songs will be good.

Wow that's so random ??????? First time I've seen someone with this opinion :hmmm:
DA same lol. It's cute seeing new people and their reads on the members. All the recent content has a different vibe than the old stuff and the old ships aren't really a thing anymore.

I don't wanna rain on anon's parade, but I am curious why they think that. I wouldn't invest too much into the idea of group member crushes right now, but it's fun I guess.
hahah it was these two videos that made me think so
miyeon won't stop staring at yuqi and they keep unnecessarily touching each other, idk it probably doesnt mean anything but it caught my attention

also i cant get over how good looking all of them are omggggg :rageblush:
lol the girls have always been touchy with each other. It’s friendly. The fanservice is really toned down these days though. if you were to go watch their older varieties and lives you’d probably think they’re all dating lol.

A few of the members seem to be in relationships right now (not with each other) so the crush theories should be more for fun. they are a fun group to watch, so enjoy regardless! I think their older variety is a lot better than a lot of the recent stuff.
ngl you made me curious, could you elaborate more on the members that you think are currently in the relationships?
Soyeon, Yuqi and Miyeon.

These are of course suspicions, and some suspicions stronger than others. I won't go into too much detail because some of this is het talk.

Soyeon:
Miyeon:
Yuqi:

No idea about Minnie or Shuhua.

lol the girls have always been touchy with each other. It’s friendly. The fanservice is really toned down these days though. if you were to go watch their older varieties and lives you’d probably think they’re all dating lol.

A few of the members seem to be in relationships right now (not with each other) so the crush theories should be more for fun. they are a fun group to watch, so enjoy regardless! I think their older variety is a lot better than a lot of the recent stuff.

I just started watching G-idle videos, I didn't even know their names 3h ago and I get the feeling that Miyeon has a massive crush on Yuqi, at least in their latest interviews lol
Wow that's so random ??????? First time I've seen someone with this opinion :hmmm:
DA same lol. It's cute seeing new people and their reads on the members. All the recent content has a different vibe than the old stuff and the old ships aren't really a thing anymore.

I don't wanna rain on anon's parade, but I am curious why they think that. I wouldn't invest too much into the idea of group member crushes right now, but it's fun I guess.
hahah it was these two videos that made me think so

my final thoughts on yuqi because I find this turn of events so fascinating. as a fan of the group for a few years, I'll admit she pinged but never gave the idea she wasn't straight serious consideration. I've been thinking about this and here's a whole ass essay (seriously) maybe no one cares about but wanted to get it out there:


anyway, what a wild ride this has been.

oh my god this is also too funny. did someone not have time to hit the nail salon during downtime in Korea between tour stops? :rofl: clipping the nails super short on only one hand and losing the nail-art on the index finger??? I don't know if her manicure went awry on one hand during their tour break and she clipped it all down to save it, or if it's just fucking gay. LMAO


why does this just keep getting funnier and funnier
I'm absolutely living for your gay!yuqi analysis. Keep it coming :lol: :$

If Yuqi is bi and Soyeon is bi then it makes me want to revisit old Yuyeon evidence which I pretty much wrote off before. Didn't Soyeon say Give me Your was inspired by Yuqi? and that it's also about her first love? That's a little sus as it is a confession song. Yuqi OP - do you think there is merit to the old rumors? Clearly she is with the stylist now if this is all true, but I mean for the past.
yuyeon? I used to be a fan of that ship. I remember trying to suss them out years ago back when I was naive and would delulu about group ships. in the end I let go of that being potentially anything real at all, especially when coming to the conclusion yuqi was straight.

if they are both bisexual, sure it does make you wonder now. the thing to remember though is that they were a cube established ship on debut. the company pushed yuyeon, mimin and sooshu. is it possible to be in a company pushed ship and for them also to have had something going on? sure. but you have to take a lot of the interactions as things potentially played up for the camera and shipping fanservice. I do think they were genuinely close and yuqi looked up to soyeon a lot. their old ship just makes things harder to read. their current relationship is not the same at all for whatever reasons.

I think the Give Me Your dedication was more teasing than anything. There was a long-running joke of Yuqi being a source of inspiration for Soyeon's music (her "muse" lol), and in response, Soyeon always teasing her that she wasn't. I think this was Yuqi playing into that joke again and Soyeon giving into the teasing that time. there's also the fact that around the time Soyeon would have written that song, she was (het stuff)

speaking of the on-going song inspiration joke, this one is pretty funny because it's for Oh My God (I can't find the original video with eng subs anymore, sorry have to make due with a clip from a shipping video lol):


i could never tell with this interview if Yuqi had no idea what she was implying by joking she was the inspiration LOL or... not? what's also extra funny about this clip is if you notice Miyeon off on the left, she starts making a big X motion with her arms at yuqi to get her to stop LOL. poor yuqi if she didn't realize :rofl:

it's interesting though if Yuqi at that point didn't understand what Oh My God was about. because that means Soyeon never directly told her, or maybe any of the members, and wrote this gay-ass anthem for the group to sing without running it by them. If Yuqi DID know, it was pretty bold of her to joke about it like that. and if you want to delulu it being true, VERY bold.

just for fun if we want to clown about yuyeon, here's my trip down delulu memory lane and a few sus things I remember:


But stepping back from the delulu stuff.. I think ultimately they were just close friends and have now drifted apart. Breaking down the timeline for soyeon and yuqi's other suspected relationships and when soyeon might have been writing these songs, not to mention you don't really see any tension between them that would indicate some sort of break-up.. it doesn't really line up. Maybe if something happened and was brief? Possible.

If Yuqi is bisexual, I think at that point in time she was probably more closeted and possibly not fully comfortable or hadn't come to terms with it. Makes me wonder when Yuqi found out Soyeon was bi tbh. god I really wish I could have been a fly on the wall for whenever Yuqi figured out what Oh My God is about. :rofl:
