Singer Bada’s emotional post reflecting her longing for former SES member Shoo attracts attention

Singer Bada’s emotional post reflecting her longing for former SES member Shoo attracts attention

On the 7th, singer Bada posted on her social media account, “It’s true that a lot of time has passed” and attached a video. The video showed the music video and stage performance of SES’ song “Dreams Come True” and highlighted the fresh and loving moments of Bada, Shoo and Eugene, which caught the public’s attention.

Bada put it this way: “We may be the weakest in the face of time, but I believe there is greater power in sincerity. Even if we cannot always give the best grapes, I want to bear fruit until the end and convey it to our fans with all my soul.”

She added hashtags like “friend,” “goodnight,” “SES,” and “SEA.”

Although Bada did not directly mention Shoo, the video included scenes of her standing cheek to cheek with Shoo, indicating Bada’s continued longing and affection for her former group member.

Bada, Shoo, and Eugene debuted as SES in 1997 and became one of the most popular original fairytale girl groups. The members then pursued individual acting and solo careers and released a special album in 2017 to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

However, in 2016, Shoo was sentenced to six months in prison with a suspended sentence of two years for habitual gambling worth around 700 million won in Macau and elsewhere, casting a shadow over the group’s overall reunion activities.

Shoo later told her story on TV Chosun’s “Star Documentary My Way,” with Bada and Eugene supporting her. However, Bada confessed during an Instagram Live in September last year that she had distanced herself from Shoo, leading to rumors of discord.

Bada criticized Shoo for wearing tank tops during her comeback activities, which Shoo didn’t like. Bada explained, “I was annoying because I was afraid people would think Shoo hadn’t come to her senses, but Shoo probably didn’t like that. My conservative remarks drove us apart.”

Bada continued to publicly support Shoo on social media, sharing lyrics from SES’ song “Letter” and messages such as “I’m sorry for being an inadequate sister, Sooyoung” (Shoo’s real name), “I will always wait for you,” and “forever SES.”
