What do you guys think?
I think:
1) could be YG and a member from Winner or iKON/ JYP and 2am. I love EXO but I'd laugh so hard if it was another EXO member omg
2) Either Taeyeon and Baekhyun or Nichkhun and Tiffany. Both of them have been talked about recently, in regards to breaking up.
3) Hong Jonghyun
4) ???

Back in November, just before Lovelyz was set to debut, member Seo Ji Soo was caught up in controversy thanks to serious Internet rumors that were circulating. A women (presumed) went around accusing Seo Ji Soo of being everything from a sasaeng to a sexual predator, and was even trying to out her as a lesbian. Soon after, evidence that the proof against Seo Ji Soo were fabricated came out, and Seo Ji Soo went to the police in an attempt to clear her name.
Well, today her ordeal may be over, as the Mapo police arrested a man and booked him on charges of maliciously spreading rumors about Seo Ji Soo. The police commented that the case has been passed along to the prosecutors, and until a decision is made by that branch, the suspect will remain anonymous. The police also said that they found the suspect by tracing the IP address.
In an ideal world, this matter would get settled quickly, and Seo Ji Soo could resume activities. But she’s still being treated for mental trauma due to this situation and Woollim Entertainment has stated that the group will continue as seven until the matter has been completely resolved.
