Kpop group Hab2t has just announced the debut of their first ever subunit, Ruteen. However, fans are surprised that the subunit consists of only the two oldest members Jaie and Taekyun. Two other members, Junil and Changmin are currently completing their mandatory military service. Taiwanese-Australian member Yin who had been busy the past few months while his members were enlisting, but has not been seen in the past few days, was not included in the lineup.

Hab2t's fans, known as Euphoria, have begun trending hashtags demanding ModStar Entertainment, the company responsible for managing the group, to give Yin better treatment. There has been longstanding controversy over the company's treatment of Yin, the only non-Korean member in the group. His exclusion from the subunit has angered fans who believe the company is purposely favouring the Korean members of the group.

ModStar Entertainment has yet to respond to questions over Yin's exclusion from the subunit.

Up to Hell star Luka Plevnik who was to appear in the upcoming film Ghost of My Soul has dropped out.

A rep from Plevnik's company explains that the decision to drop out from the film was made under urgent circumstances and they are currently undergoing talks with the production company regarding compensation.

No reason has been provided for why the star has suddenly dropped out. The rep only stated that it was Luka's private matter which he is not at liberty to discuss. Notably, the rep also shared that Plevnik would be on a temporary break to deal with said personal matters. It is the first time the star has ever taken an extended break period in his eleven year career. It is unknown when he will return to star in a new project.

Hello, this is ModStar Entertainment.

We would like to clear up some confusion surrounding our recent announcement of Hab2t's first subunit and notify of changes to Hab2t member Yin's schedule.

The original subunit lineup was to consist of all the members who are not currently serving in the military, being Jaie, Taekyun and Yin. However, due to personal circumstances, Yin was unable to participate in the production process of the subunit and was therefore excluded from the lineup in the end.

We would also like to take this moment to notify that from today Hab2t member Yin will be on temporary hiatus due to personal circumstances for an undetermined period of time.

We apologise for any inconveniences and thank you for your understanding.

Thank you.

"Just 2 days after Luka is revealed 2 b dating Yin's best friend, they both go on hiatus? if this isn't suspicious idk wut is"

"damn could they b anymore obvious? did they think we wouldn't notice them both randomly taking a break on the same day and both for undetermined periods of time?"

"they totally got married n r going on their honeymoon"

"hmmm. luka's personal matter must b important considering he's never taken a long break in his career. wonder y his 'gf' is still working while his 'costar' is taking a break as well."

"everyone knows luka never takes a break but yin has never gone on hiatus either. he's always posting on social media and everyone has been wondering y he hasn't posted in a few days."

"i can't believe their companies put out similar statements on the same day n thought yeh this ain't sus at all."

Actor Luka Plevnik has been spotted at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport in his hometown Slovenia.

After his company revealed earlier today that the actor would be taking an extended break, fans back home in Slovenia spotted him leaving the airport. Fans who spotted the star said he was travelling alone. They described his appearance as haggard and not as put together as usual. This has led to speculations that his personal matters are related to a problem within his family as the actor has not returned home to Slovenia for nearly seven years.

A rep from Plevnik's company has asked fans and the media to give the star privacy during his break.

"After a few days of not being spotted, Hab2t member Yin has made an appearance in Australia, the country where he was born and raised.

He was spotted by fans in a department store, shopping with another person who is presumed to be his friend."

"guys my friend saw yin while he was shopping. she doesn't stan hab2t but she asked him for a photo cuz she knows i stan n my bias is yin. she didn't realise he's not allowed to take photos n she said he sounded really tired when he had to reject her so she felt so bad."

"yin? tired? that's like unheard of. damn wth happened."

"oh so luyin didn't take a break together? they rly just coincidentally had personal matters to deal with at the same time?"

Author's Note:

So I got my final exam done yesterday yayayay. I have some more not as important exams coming up in like two weeks so we'll be fine...hopefully.

This is another short chapter, even shorter than the other one if I am remembering correctly so prepare for another rant because I need the satisfaction of a word count above 1000 :)

That being said welcome to my second ever question of the chapter!

Q: Favourite artist/s?

A: Monsta X, Louis Tomlinson, Stray Kids

Don't make me choose between them pls I could never. I've also been really into Alec Benjamin's songs lately. He's gradually climbing up into my favourite artists list.

Also, just based on like the way I write and the things I say in author's notes, can anyone guess where I'm from? I feel like it's obvious but that might just be because I'm me so obviously I know me (idek if that made sense).

Okay so excluding this sentence right here, everything before this came to a total of 999 words. Aight we good.

Word count: 1026 :D
