following the ruling , minji , naomi , jinah , and nani expressed their disappointment but thanked fans for their unwavering support. "we fought for what we believed was right , and while the outcome is not what we hoped for , we are grateful to those that have stood beside us," they wrote in a joint statement.

seventh heaven has yet to release an official statement , but industry experts speculate that the verdict could set a precent for future disputes between idols and their agencies. meanwhile , fans remain divided— some expressing frustration over the ruling , whilst others hold out hope that the four women will one day return to the industry on their own terms.

in the midst of the controversy surrounding golden hour's ahri and nabillera's ara's dating scandal , fellow golden hour member isaac has ignited another firestorm after posting an impassioned rant on the group's official fancafe.

ahri , the main vocalist of monster rookie group golden hour , was recently revealed to be in a relationship with ara of nabillera , who is currently promoting as a soloist amid the legal dispute between her former groupmates and label. the news , while met with support from some , has triggered intense backlash , with certain fans demanding ahri's removal from the group and sending ara hateful messages , including death threats.

isaac took to fancafe to express his frustration , beginning with : "i love each and every one of our fans but this is getting out of hand." he went on to criticize those leaving cruel messages and emphasize ahri's important to the group and formidable work ethic.

however , the most controversial part of his message was the blunt line : "i hate to burst your bubble , but all of your favorite idols are dating. it was never going to be you. go outside."

his words quickly spread throughout the wider k–pop fandom , screenshots going viral on twitter , with some applauding his honesty and looking out for his members as the leader , while others considered the post rude , out of touch , and disrespectful to the fans that had built golden hour's career. the post remained up for an hour before seventh heaven intervened , forcing him to delete it and issue an apology.

isaac's official statement read : "i sincerely apologize for my previous words. i let my emotions get the best of me , and i deeply regret offending anyone. i will be more mindful of my words in the future."

netizens were quick to dismiss the apology as insincere , calling it forced and not a genuine change of heart. on the other hand , some fans expressed disappointment that he was made to apologize in the first place , arguing that he had simply told the truth.

meanwhile , aside from their own initial apologies for surprising fans , have been silent on the matter.

in  a  shocking  turn  of  events  ,  golden  hour’s  isaac  kim  and  myst’s  shimizu  yumeko  have  suddenly  announced  that  they’ve  welcomed  their  first  child  and  are  planning  to  be  married.  seventh  heaven  ,  both  of  whom  are  signed  to  the  label  ,  confirmed  the  news  at  12:00  kst.

the  agency’s  statement  reads  as  follows  :

“hello.  this  is  seventh  heaven. we  are  pleased  to  share  that  isaac  and  yumeko  have  recently  welcomed  a  healthy  child  into  their  family. the  artists  and  their  families  are  celebrating  this  joyous  occasion  privately  ,  so  we  ask  fans  and  reporters  for  their  kind  understanding. yumeko  and  isaac  will  continue  to  work  hard  as  artists. we  ask  you  to  send  them  lots  of  blessings  and  messages  of  celebration. thank  you.”

a  source  from  seventh  heaven  confirmed  that  the  couple  do  intend  on  getting  married  in  a  private  ceremony  ,  only  to  be  attended  by  family  and  friends.  they  also  added  that  they  wouldn’t  be  able  to  confirm  any  other  details  surrounding  the  engagement  and  the  birth  ,  as  it  is  a  matter  of  the  artists’  privacy.

yumeko , who was placed on an indefinite hiatus back in march due to an undisclosed “illness” , and isaac have both shared handwritten letters on their personal instagram pages announcing the news and apologizing for surprising fans.

the  couple  first  started  dating  in  2016  ,  with  dispatch  revealing  the  relationship  just  months  after  yumeko  debuted  in  i.o.i  ,  after  receiving  cctv  footage  and  intel  from  the  owner  of  a  hotel  they’d  reportedly  been  checking  into  together  for  months.  though  ,  in  december  of  that  same  year  ,  they  were  confirmed  to  have  already  broken  up  ,  due  to  “busy  schedules”.

however  ,  in  2018  ,  it  was  once  again  reported  that  they  were  dating  ,  and  from  then  on  began  a  cycle  of  the  two  breaking  up  and  getting  back  together  for  several  years. due  to  the  on–and–off  nature  of  the  relationship and speculations of cheating  ,  many  considered  them  to  be  toxic  together  ,  leading  fans  and  netizens  to  criticize  both  idols  ,  calling  them  “messy”  and  “unprofessional”.

though  it’s  unclear  when  the  two  could  have  gotten  back  together this time around  ,  given  that  the  baby  is  confirmed  to  have  been  born  sometime  this  week  ,  it  can  reasonably  be  concluded  that  they  reconnected  in  at  least this past  december  or  january.  regardless  ,  they  seem  to  have  moved  on  from  their  rocky  past  ,  with  isaac  writing  ,  “the  most  precious  gift  came  to  us  ,  and  we’re  looking  forward  to  this  new  beginning.”

congratulations to the couple!

a couple weeks ago , naomi utaura , formerly of nabillera , surprised everyone when she directly shaded her juniors , honeylemon.

although both nabillera and honeylemon are both respected figures in the k–pop inudstry and considered icons in their own rights , there's always been contention between their two fandoms , mainly regarded to as silly up until now.

naomi , now working as an actress , was being interviewed by vanity fair when she was  asked  about  her  juniors and their overwhelming success. she responded ,  "i  mean…  nobody  is ever  better  than  the  original  ,  right?  even  that  company  seems  to  know  it  ,  since  they’ve  given  them  several  of  our  throwaways.  best  of  luck  to  those  girls  ,  though  ,  because  the  going  will  get  tough  when  they  run  out  of  concepts  of  ours  to  steal."

when the interview was published , social media erupted , with some agreeing with naomi , some expressing their disappointment in her , and others calling her washed and bitter. despite the backlash , naomi has remained firm in her stance and none of nabillera's other members have commented on the matter.

honeylemon's leader park joori has responded in her speech while accepting the trophy for their newest song new me on music bank today. she gave the usual rigmarole thanking fans and promising to continue working hard , before adding , "and thank you to our ceo for always looking out for us. some people are still so bitter after years of being ungrateful... but with your support we'll continue to shine and be artists that bring pride to our fans and the company." she smiled while indirectly referring to the lawsuit that cost naomi her career in the korean entertainment indsutry.

naomi has yet to respond , but knowing her , it's only a matter of time.

fawn has officially announced her departure from myst.

after seven years with the group , it was announced today that fawn would not be renewing her contract with seventh heaven. instead , she's chosen to continue her thriving career as a soloist with the company's subsidiary label , halo music , under the management of esteemed producer ahn sojung.

this comes just eight months after the group returned from a two–year indefinite hiatus , although fans aren't necessarily surprised. rumors of tensions between the members have been flying since 2021 , when yumeko suddenly announced that she'd given birth. in the two years she promoted as a soloist , fawn's career took off and many noted that she didn't seem too thrilled to be with the group again to promote their comeback single better things last july.

nevertheless , she still included her former bandmates in the heartfelt letter she posted to her instagram today , writing , "thank you for being my sisters and sharing some of the best years of my life with me."

despite the kind message , all four of the remaining members of myst unfollowed fawn on instagram about an hour after the post was made. she later unfollowed them all , as well.

fawn , who's real name is darunee suwannarat , first made her debut as the main rapper of i.o.i in 2016 alongside her best friend yumeko , after placing seventh on the first season of produce 101. once i.o.i disbanded , she debuted once again with myst in 2017 , and began her solo career with the single snappin' in 2019. in 2022 , invu became her breakout song , winning her the title of best solo artist at the mama awards.
