solji looks great! i hope the rumor of her being on masked singer is true although i haven't listened to the person she's rumored to be

wow it sounds totally like her, especially the high notes!

[juhli.livejournal.com]

It's definitely her >.< I'm so happy, I love that KoMS and Banana (and Solji) planned this. It's the perfect way to announce that Solji's back...on the exact stage that made her so famous <333 The fact that she won ;___; KoMS is truly HER stage and Solji is truly the original queen of King of Masked Singer.

you're right, it does sound like her. this is actually great strategy to have her comeback be on this show that made everyone see what a great singer she is. but i didn't know king of masked singer allowed people to come back

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I think they made the exception for her because Solji won the first episode when it was just a Pilot and didn't get to maintain her reign like others.Plus she's been out of the limelight so long that the rating boost from her being revealed will help them out a lot

[juhli.livejournal.com]

They do allow people to come back, like Han Dong Geun, who went on the show before and now again, becoming king for 3 shows. Or in the most recent ep, the lead singer of Rose Motel revisited the show after he didnt pass the first round 3 years ago :)

oh thanks, i didn't know that. maybe they're running out of korean singers lmao

[juhli.livejournal.com]

yup, i imagine it gets hard after a while to cast like 8 new contestants every week...who can sing.

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

I know in my soul it's her

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

I don't follow the group very closely but why is it that's she's floating in and out of their promo material but never performs with them anymore? I know she had vocal cord issues but the situation feels odd?

she got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in late 2016 and had orbital decompression surgery earlier this year. she did show up at a concert of theirs last year!

[juhli.livejournal.com]

She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the end of 2016, her condition was pretty serious back then so she had to halt all her activities. Since then she received treatments and her condition gradually became better, so that she could have orbital decompression surgery at the beginning of this year. Recovery period of the surgery is about 6 months and now her condition has stabilized enough, so that she announced that she will rejoin Exid's promotions starting with their Japanese debut in August again.

So all the little peeks we got from her, like when she made a surprise appearance at a Exid concert or participated in recording for Full Moon last Nov, was what her condition allowed her to do.

She’s back!!! 😍😍😭😭

[kyungwons.livejournal.com]

it feels surreal to see her back after so long but i'm so happy there's something so much more special about them when they're five

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

yay solji!!!

[a-suitcase.livejournal.com]

Ahhh it's so wonderful to see all 5 of them together again <3

[coyote-revolver.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy she's finally able to promote again and slay us with her vocals!

[revedesnuages.livejournal.com]

So excited to see all 5 perform again :D
