Enough has been talked about the ouster of Danielle Marsh.
Whatever the consequence of this might be, it is clear that Ador is not giving up New Jeans.
New Jeans and Le Sserafim were acquainted
And Jennifer Huh trained with the NJ members.
Miyawaki Sakura saw all the drama during her AKB/HKT48 days, so she is likely to create as less controversy as possible, and Kim Chaewon won't stop them. Eunchae might get upset but she has no power in LS.
Now, Illit seems to be a different story.
Illit members are not acquainted with NJ, and they have only bad memories against it.
Lee Wonhee paying Filial Duty to the #1 Gallup singer was cancelled by this
Minju sang the Kimi Ni Hodoke cover with 10cm
You might remember that 10cm's cover of Kimi ni Hodoke defeated IU's Flower Bookmark 3, making 2025 the first year for IU to have no daily #1s in Melon despite of releasing songs.
Minju showed hostility on IU, because the latter was so friendly with New Jeans. To this day Illit has not reacted to IU doing the Not Cute Anymore challenge, refusing her offer to make up with it
If they are this hostile against someone who had supported NJ, it does not require a lot of imagination to measure their hostility against NJ itself.
However, given Ador is so determined to make New Jeans return, it is likely that a reconciliation, sincere or not, will be attempted by the management of Ador and Hybe.
Most people are not aware that Noh Yunah, who should have been cut when Youngseo left Illit, trained with Le Sserafim(not Kazuha and possibly Eunchae) and the members of New Jeans.
Although Yunah has said nothing about New Jeans, it is probable that she has much less hostility against NJ than the other members, since Yunah would have been just grateful to be allowed to debut.
Yunah is , also, the oldest member of the group, although because she came from a lesser company (she was originally a fantagio trainee) she has less power in Illit than Minju, a YG trainee.
Given that Yunah is the weakest member of Illit, it is likely that she will be the one who will be asked to allow the Illit members to make up with New Jeans.
That is life - even though New Jeans might have wronged Illit , NJ is still more powerful than Illit and the comany would want to make an appearance, and the weakest member, who is also the only member with any kind of connection with NJ, will be the one forcing the other members, who hate even a senior singer who had supported New Jeans now, to do an awkward reconciliation scene, even though they might have nothing to do with each other for the rest of their contracts.
Yunah , who knows she is the most marginal member of Illit, loses nothing even if she loses the respect of the members- she is in there, which is all that counts, so she will probably be the one making the Illit members to do a reconcilization, half hearted or not.
