In early May last year, YG Entertainment announced that female singer Rami - a member of Baby Monster - would temporarily stop her activities to focus on recovering her health.
Since then, updated information related to the female idol has been extremely limited, while Baby Monster continues to promote, release new albums and organize concerts with a 6-member lineup (Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rora, Chiquita).
As months passed without any official announcement about Rami's recovery or when she will return, more and more fans are worried about her future with the group. Some fans fear that this temporary shutdown may become permanent as the company continues to remain silent.
Controversy about Rami's future further attracted attention after Baby Monster's statements to fans, at a video call event on the occasion of the group's comeback with the new album "Choom".
In a call on May 15, a fan mentioned that fans missed Rami very much and asked if Baby Monster had any updates about her condition.
Pharita answered cautiously, cautiously that the members also missed Rami very much, but she said she could not share any more information.
Pharita's response caused mixed controversy. A part of fans believe that the female idol simply cannot publicly discuss internal company issues.
However, this conversation also angered a part of the fandom. They criticized YG Entertainment for continuing to let both fans and Baby Monster members fall into an ambiguous situation related to Rami's issue.
Meanwhile, some other opinions suggest that questions about Rami's temporary suspension of activities should not be directed directly to Baby Monster members, because that could put the artist in a difficult situation while interacting with fans.
As discussions continue to spread online, many fans are calling on YG Company to soon release more clear information about Rami's health status as well as future operating plans.
