Rookie girl group Lovelyz released a teaser image signaling their comeback but fans noticed that there are only 7 members, raising questions if JiSoo is not participating or has already withdrawn from the group.

In response to this, Woollim Entertainment explains, "Seo Ji Soo's withdrawal from the group which people are stating is definitely not true." They added, "In the case of JiSoo where the situation is not yet cleaned up, only 7 members are going to prepare for this comeback."

"Once JiSoo's case has been settles, she will return to her position in the group in the future." Meanwhile, JiSoo's debut with the group has been halted because of the malicious accusation of sexual abuse.
