Can Illit become the first Hybe girl group to not lose a member to controversy?

There are rumblings of a Hybe girl group curse with what happened to Lesserafim and now NewJeans. So far Illit seem to be a steady and unshakable group when it comes to drama and controversy that's not instigated by Min Hee Jin. But if I were them I would be worried about 2026 because working for Hybe as a girl group is about as stable a job as flipping burgers at McDonalds. It could all come crashing down like that one order that forgot to add cheese to the patty.

I hope not though. Illit is a great group and losing one of their members due to some fake leak that Wonhee was a Yakuza style bully in 5th grade would probably be the end of them.

Everyone please have Illit in your prayers for 2026.

Youngseo might need a word.

Thankfully she doing just fine now.

That was before they debuted so I don't think it should count.

It does.

The team was formed on the last episode of R U Next and there are some contents youngseo filmed pre-debut so she is considered to be a former member of Illit.

So my thread is obsolete before I even posted it. Damn.
