JULY MEMBERS
WU BELLA (27)
LEADER, LEAD DANCER
having trained the longest under starship and finally being added to july's lineup, bella is known for being a leader with an iron fist. fans criticized her for being a right wing communist and too old to debut but has one of the biggest fanbases in china due to her experience in being a judge of produce 101 (china) and a couple of modeling gigs that took her away from july's promotions. july praises bella for being a leader that guides them well but half of her group actually despies her for picking favorites and mentally abusing them to be perfect.
✩ is a social smoker but doesn't really like using cigarettes as a dancer
✩ thinks the vocals should be more aware of their body and what they put into it
✩ a firm believer in dieting = key! tends to be a body shamer and will give backhanded compliments to those that she deems ugly
✩ despite her need for perfection, many members do agree that bella is the most reliable for the leadership position. she takes every scolding from the ceo and beating from her manager and trainers in stride without shifting the blame unto her members; however, because of the resentment towards the people in starship, bella is extremely strict on july and quick to lash out when things don't go her way

KWAK SHIEUN (21)
MAIN RAPPER
joining starship after her audition to many hip hop based companies failed, shieun is good at what she does. having showcased her skill in unpretty rapstar and high school rapper (season one), fans talk of shieun's skills to be rivaling that of cl from 2ne1. rumors are that shieun was an iljin during her trainee days shown through screen shots of text messages and videos; however, shieun still has a strong fanbase as starship denies such an affilliation vehemently.

TSAI MEIYUN (20)
VISUAL, CENTER, LEAD VOCAL
having been scouted on the streets of hongdae during a vacation in korea, meiyun joined july's lineup after only a year of being a trainee. despite her name being well known for her visuals and height, many fans criticize meiyun's lack of stage presence and how she hasn't improved in the years she's been with this group. despite her infamous reputation amongst the idols around her, meiyun isn't all that bad: she just knows she's pretty.
✩ is the second most popular member of july despite being the last one to get added to july
✩ strongly believes in owning her uality - aka, she's a bad when it comes to her own body

OTHERS
JIN HWASEON (30)
JULY'S MANAGER
joining july midway through their peak fame and staying with them since, hwaseon has made it very clear that she does not want to be with july. as july's sixth manager, hwaseon was attached to july by the ceo as a last resort and she does all she can to keep the girls in line using any means necessary. many netizens note the frigidness between hwaseon and the members but brush it off as professionalism.

CASE 2
also known as, "drama, drugs, death"
send: i love you! (센드: 사랑한다!)
school life, romance, comedy, drama
every saturdays at 7pm [first air date: august 4th ✩ 13 out of 24 episodes aired]
send: i love you! revolves around 4 kids who stumble upon each other on nate pann post where they talk about their woes, primarily their love lives. what started off as a casual thing soon blossoms into a group chat online. identities are hidden but their friendships are real. add high school to the mix and it's a blend that gets everybody queasy to their stomach. what they all don't know is that the others are closer than seemed. individual stories intertwine into one and it's a chapter in their lives they won't forget.
... When asked about the tragedy that occured within the cast and what SILY's cast has in mind, Director Gong firmly states that they come first and will not continue filming the drama or release any episodes that have been filmed prior to their death's until the case has been solved.
[@leevly10], when questioned, can only get out a few words (incoherently) before bursting into tears and getting ushered into the SBS building by her manager. The same treatment followed to others and [@ohhoho19] was spotted crying in the parking lot after news of Joo Keesung's fatal passing came to light.
Cha Eunyoung is currently in the hospital, brain dead from a overdose and where the minors got their drugs and how they got stuck in a motel room while their whole cast was out partying to celebrate SILY's highest rating of the week is beyond everybody...
... "We won't stop until answers are given. All I know is that Keesung and Eunyoung aren't those type of people that would... do that kind of.. I just-" Soobin Song, main vocalist of Eden and Keesung's best friend, manages to get out before having to turn away to compose himself.
Only time will tell if this was a suicide or something truly heinous is at play here.
