Recently, EVERLINE announced the cancellation of the highly anticipated "The 2024 SOOJIN FAN CONCERT ‘Summer Daze’ NORTH AMERICA TOUR." Fans were met with disappointment as the organizers expressed their sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this unavoidable decision. This cancellation comes at a significant time for Soojin, who has faced numerous challenges and changes throughout her career.

A Challenging Past: The Bullying Scandal
Soojin, formerly a member of the successful K-pop group (G)I-dle, faced a tumultuous period beginning in March 2021 when allegations of bullying surfaced. Following these allegations, she temporarily halted all activities, and by August of the same year, Cube Entertainment announced her departure from the group. This decision was particularly impactful, as (G)I-dle continued to thrive without her, evolving into a five-member ensemble.
The situation escalated, and in March 2022, Cube Entertainment officially terminated Soojin’s contract after investigations found the claims against her to be unfounded. A statement from her legal representative revealed that the Autonomous Committee for School Violence Countermeasures had determined she was a victim of bullying rather than the accused. This revelation underscored the emotional turmoil she experienced during this challenging time.
A New Chapter with BRD
After a year of silence, Soojin announced her return to the music scene in October 2023 by signing an exclusive contract with BRD. This move marked a significant turning point in her career, allowing her to prepare for a solo debut. Fans eagerly awaited her return, and on October 25, she released a dance performance video titled "Black Forest," teasing her upcoming solo work.
On November 8, 2023, Soojin made her official solo debut with the EP Agassy, showcasing her versatility and artistic growth. The album received positive feedback, highlighting her ability to navigate a variety of musical styles.
Continued Progress and Recent Releases
Soojin's comeback did not end with her debut. On May 23, 2024, she released her second EP, Rizz, featuring the title track "Mona Lisa." This project solidified her status as a solo artist, demonstrating her vocal prowess and captivating stage presence.
Despite the progress she made, the cancellation of her North America tour serves as a reminder of the challenges artists face, even as they seek to rebuild their careers. The organizers’ announcement expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from fans, emphasizing the importance of understanding during this difficult time.
The cancellation of Soojin’s "Summer Daze" tour is a setback in her journey, but it also reflects her resilience and commitment to her craft. As she continues to navigate the complexities of her solo career, fans remain hopeful for her future endeavors. Soojin’s story is one of perseverance, illustrating that even in the face of adversity, it is possible to rise, adapt, and thrive. Her recent releases and ongoing artistic evolution signal a promising future ahead, and fans are eager to support her every step of the way.
