Gyubin: Illit's Young Prodigy

Satellite 📡

June 2024

Life for Park Gyubin changed dramatically since she took the stage on that survival show. Already familiar with Yunah and Wonhee, it was a pleasure getting to know Moka, Iroha, and Minju. Iroha was the babysister and her mannerisms reminded her of her own sister. Moka and Minju were both unnies she could rely on and Minju balanced Wonhee's energy and Yunah's strict persona.

Things were going well since the release of Magnetic. Every idol group under the sun was imitating their dances and their Tik Tok was flooded with new fans: the Gillit. They were greeted by Eugenes with open arms as Enhypen's little sisters. Gyubin found herself getting close with Jake and Jay, two English speaking line.

Unfortunately, all of their new accomplishments were overshadowed by a growing storm of hate coming from the fandom of a fellow group, the Bunnies, also known as NewJeans fans. It all started when their producer accused them of copying their concepts and then it quicky snowballed into a full blown corporate battle between two CEOs.

This left Illit in the middle of this ugly feud. Cyberbullying only increased as time which is why when Gyubin was allowed to write music she took a quick trip to Serbia.

"I never imagined just an accusation would blow into a full fledged war. Because of this I can't finish school in peace. Not that I bore any animosity towards them but they make it hard to ignore. I don't understand, I just wanted to live my dream but is this what I'm going to get?..." Gyubin said with visible stress.

She looked uptop a castle showcasing the city. One could only dream in fairytale stories. It's the exact setting Gyubin wishes she could escape.

"I wish I can see this sort of view every day. I would love to take Wonhee and the girls right here. I'm sure she would have a great time and Yunah unnie would probably have scolded her already. Why can't things return to the way they were? Am I really a problem to these crazy fans? I genuinely thought we would be friends with the NewJeans fandom." Gyubin has been insulted her seemingly manufactured image as a "girl next door". Some have labeled her a "IU copy". Since she had actual vocal training haters could not criticize her voice.

It seemed she could never win with the bunny fandom. Garam unnie would have been very disappointed by their actions, being a victim of cyberbullying herself. Only a few times have she met but since Ador has isolated themselves from the Hybe family, it was mostly through personal phone calls.

The war with Ador vs Hybe rages on as Park Gyubin stands helpless as her group faces attacks from all angles. The eighteen year old wept.

"It's not fair... Wae!? Wae does it have to me!? I just wanted to chase my dreams!! I JUST WANT THIS TO ALL STOP!!! I MISS HOME!!" After giving herself a few minutes to cry in peace she wiped them off as she put on a smiling face for the camera.
