tbh all ooo's undergrOund idOl stuff (not that I don't like it) with the pairs and couple storylines in sets of two member's solos is making me worry that they kicked Love out to have an even number of members to do this solo release with in-group couples concept
@Juniverse @Tickita @tayoism
they meaning the company, not the other 6
NO BC I WAS THINKING THAT A FEW DAYS AGO ARE YOU IN MY BRAIN
It's definitely not unheard of, ppl have been kicked out for less
BRUH I THOUGHT THIS FOR A WHILE, SINCE LIKE THE SECOND SOLO WHERE IT WAS THE SAME COUPLE AS THE FIRST, NOT JUST TODAY BUT I GOT REMINDED AGAIN

Like I was thinking, "if Love was here what would they do, bc all of this is in pairs?"
But why him?

I mean he was the leader and main vocal and trained for so long. Did they think he was the one with the least popular pairings with other members and so he had to go?
They'd been doing the sensual concept for a while, so why didn't they just debut with 8 members or 6 to have an even number?
Ofc we don't know for sure why he left but doing all this with the solos and gay pairings within the group with all of them after they got an even number just is a bit sus
That sucks so much for him if true, if he wants I hope he can redebut, but it'll be hard considering his age and also enlistment
I haven't been paying attention to it so I didn't know about the storylines
Some people thought that he was removed/left because of libidO
Like because of Libido's concept? I mean they did get a lot more attention because of it, but because it was so daring and "sensual" everything-wise. M/V, choreography, the name of the song, and even stuff that came with the album with pre-orders were advertised as "half-naked posters" (exact wording) and stuff like that, I was so worried when that kind of stuff was being released, promoted, before Libido came out, like teasing the album and comeback.
And after that onlyoneof's stuff became more hyper-sexualized for sure. So like if he was uncomfortable with that, and OnlyOneOf's future direction, that could make sense. I mean the first song I liked from them was Savanna, and I just don't really watch korean group m/vs from them libido and after anymore so I'd get it.
But for undergrOund IdOl "storylines, it's just the first solo was Yoojung's 'begin' and in the m/v he and kyubin were kind of a gay couple, or at least into each other. Then the next solo, it was Kyubin's 'be free', and again, it was Yoojung and Kyubin as a couple in the m/v.
Then it was Junji's solo and in the m/v he was a couple with Rie. And Rie's solo after with Rie being a couple with Junji again in the m/v
And Mill's m/v teaser just came out, and looks like he's paired with Nine, and they're the only two left
