Jihyo’s POV

Tomorrow we are going to the JTBC studio to film an episode of Knowing Bros where we act as the guests. It’s for Signal promotion and I’m really excited. Not only because it’s most likely to be fun with the sunbaenim, we can finally meet our Unnie again!

Uh wait, it’s sunbaenim now.

Since... we're not that close anymore?

Jiya sunbaenim was our vocal instructor right before SIXTEEN program was announced. I felt bad since she had to disappear from public due to a very unfortunate incident. You see, Jiya sunbaenim was the leader of a legendary girl group SOUTHSIDE and I tell you, they were more famous than SNSD! Had it not because of their frequent bad lucks, they probably became the Real Legend like SNSD.

Uh, so, about Jiya sunbaenim’s band’s problem. On 2009, they changed the leadership from Seha Kim sunbaenim to Jiya sunbaenim. No one knows why and the agency never told us about the reason. We were confused because the two acted okay with each other (happy, even!). Shortly after the change, the group’s maknae was accused of being a scammer and Jiya sunbaenim’s parents were killed on a car accident. Fortunately, they had a comeback on 2010. I was anxious! We thought they were going to disband due to the very bad fortunes :(

The second hiatus came on 2013. All was well actually, and SS planned to do a fansign. But then, another bad fortune befell them. Seha Kim sunbaenim was found near death, hanging on her bedroom. She barely survived by tiptoeing on a desk. Close call, it was luck someone found her out before it was too late. It was a failed attempted murder, but Seha Kim sunbaenim lost her voice and in need of recovery. The hiatus was long, making us all of fans worried that they might not be back. There were four of them yet only two of them still chose to appear on public. One being the eldest and the maknae. But then it soon became one, after the maknae was once accused of being the murder. 2014 was a crazy year, because... my bias taught me.

Jiya sunbaenim disappeared from public and did a quite normal job. She used her talent as a singer to become a freelance vocal instructor for us trainees and I think she als
