Popular girl group (G)I-DLE has once again achieved great success on various domestic and international music charts with their title track 'Queencard,' and the members have been actively appearing on TV programs for promotion. Recently, one of the members, Yuqi, made a solo appearance on a variety show and revealed the reasons behind her choice of CUBE over SM Entertainment.
On the 14th, (G)I-DLE member Yuqi made a guest appearance on the MBC variety show 'Radio Star.' On that day, Yuqi revealed that she had developed an interest in K-pop while she was in China. As a result, she had already become familiar with hip-hop artist Tablo from earlier on.
Yuqi suddenly revealed a little anecdote about her successful auditions for both her current agency, CUBE Entertainment, and SM Entertainment. She candidly shared, 'I was already part of the school dance club in middle school, and that's how it all started until now,' and 'Actually, I'm a fan of Super Junior, so entering SM has always been my dream.'
She continued, 'I actually participated in SM's Beijing auditions four times. After the fourth audition with SM, I thought about giving the following week's audition with CUBE a try. As a result, both companies contacted me simultaneously.' This revelation shocked everyone present.
Kim Gu-ra immediately asked, 'Of course, you should go to SM, what's the problem?' Yuqi replied, 'Exactly,' which caused laughter in the studio. Later, Yuqi continued, 'I was really torn. SM was my dream, but at that time, CUBE had the girl group 4Minute, and I really liked their girl crush style songs, so I was in a dilemma.' Yuqi also mentioned that although she had a cute and pretty face, which suited SM's image, her voice sounded more like CUBE's, a bit husky.
Later, Yuqi candidly pointed out that the executive at CUBE told her that if she signed with their company, she could debut the following year. That's why Yuqi chose CUBE. However, this reason sparked mixed reactions among netizens.
Some netizens expressed opinions such as, 'As expected from a Chinese person, so practical,' 'She claimed to be a fan of Super Junior, how could she give up her dream company just for an early debut,' and 'This reflects the behaviour of the Communist Party.'
However, there were also many netizens who believed that 'Yuqi made a good choice,' 'Of course, one should choose based on their future path, you can't remain a trainee at SM forever,' showing support in their comments.
