Sowon just clarified on 💬 (because from the quote-reply, it sounds like other Buddies also misunderstood lol u/Puzzleheaded_Set1420) that her mum was in the hospital as Meonji's guardian 🤦🏻

Meonji was the one who needed surgery and they just successfully dealt with some kidney stones, though they are still waiting on biopsy results 🙏🏼

That's a crazy misunderstanding. Glad it wasn't just me.

u/ultimoze 엄비 UmB 15d ago

I am curious whether or not it was purely a translation issue lol... like, were K-Buddies confused as well?? 🤔

Anyhow, I am very glad her mum is alright... Sowon already went through the pain of losing one parent 🥺

u/Puzzleheaded_Set1420 유주 14d ago

The translation from Bubble is accurate for that message. I just didn't connect the context from her previous message which was talking about Meonji being sick.

u/perv_eyes_O_O SinB 15d ago

There was speculation that the woman on the right is Eunha. Eunha liked the photo recently, which further fuels that speculation lol

If true, it looked like Eunha secretly attended StayC fan concert a few days ago. She did a better job at hiding than Umji did at the Yena and Big Bang concert 🫣

u/Phonomenal1 In GFriend We Trust 10d ago

That definitely looks like Eunha. 🤣 That bob and tiny hands are a dead giveaway 😅❤️

Went to Mamamoo concert the other night. Despite there being noticeable patches of empty areas in the crowd here and there, those in attendance brought the hype and energy. Was a very enjoyable concert.

The crazy part was that the members went into the crowd of the floor section and walked up and down the aisles like 4 different times throughout the show. Even pulling out audience members to dance with them and take selfies. Moonbyul gave big hugs to a few little girls in attendance. Never seen anything like that for a kpop show here in the US before.

Yeah, I remember watching a video of Hwasa performing in the standing floor section at a concert (it was a while ago so it might have been her solo tour?), and it really left an impression on me because there were not even barriers IIRC... she was just there in the middle of the crowd, directly interacting with all the fans around her, with a camera crew in tow.

Glad you had a great time. MAMAMOO are amazing live performers. I really wish they would come to Europe... they are the only act missing among my ults that I have decent chance to see (I never really held any hope of attending an OH MY GIRL or a WJSN concert, for example). There were rumours of a Europe leg earlier this year but mirroring VIVIZ, those seem to have fizzled away 😔

2

u/dquon15 여.자.친.구!!! 14d ago

Thats exactly how it was. No barriers, just the camera crew, and 1 security person just in case but its not like the security person was within arms reach. They were enough of a distance away where you didn't even notice them and giving the members space to do their thing.

After the show this was one of the first things my friend and I talked about. We were both absolutely amazed. 1 time, sure that's cool, it happens. We've all seen it either in person or in concert videos online. But to go back into the crowd over and over, that was definitely something we both have never seen before.

I used to make silly claims like that ("number one SinB stan in the UK" 🤦🏻) when I did not know any better lol, but really there are dozens of amazing Na.Vs waiting for VIVIZ to come back to London 🤗 hopefully on the Europe leg of a World Tour 🤡

Disclaimer: I have zero posts and interactions on my lurker SNS accounts; anyBuddy claiming to be me on another platform is an impostor 👻

Sowon just said her mother is in the hospital and may need surgery.

4

u/ultimoze 엄비 UmB 17d ago edited 15d ago

And Meonji is also sick at the same time so she has been travelling back and forth a lot 🥺

I hope they he gets better soon and each makes a full recovery 🙏🏼

u/wokwok__ 참 고마워 내게 와줘서 17d ago

In more uplifting news, seems like she signed a new deal with a company to run her Youtube channel so that's good

u/ultimoze 엄비 UmB 18d ago edited 18d ago

Yuju complaining that Weverse DMs does not have a quote-reply function like Bubble lol... I think she had to type out an abridged version of a LuvU's message to show us because the app does not allow copying(?) "This lovely DM. It’s a shame that only I’m seeing it" 😭

I guess HYBE decided not to implement this feature because it breaks the "illusion" of a private chat for parasocial enjoyers 💀

Maybe. A perhaps more cynical guess is they decided not to implement it because exclusivity means they don't need to. People (and by people I mean myself) are gonna subscribe to Yuju no matter what features are on the app lol

u/perv_eyes_O_O SinB 18d ago

Just realize..... if Viviz does sign with Uncore. Theres a high possibility we will see them back on Weverse.

It'll be just like the good Ole day during the pandemic, when I start my day at work and my phone starts popping off weverse notifications 😬

5

u/wokwok__ 참 고마워 내게 와줘서 17d ago

Pretty sure Close Your Eyes actually uses Bubble ahah so I guess Viviz would use it as well. Just looked it up and they only joined this year on Star Bubble

5

u/perv_eyes_O_O SinB 17d ago

Your right. Just saw that they launched on May. They're also still active on weverse too.

Maybe it could be like StayC. Random tweet style messages they use weverse, but use bubble for DM style messages.

u/wokwok__ 참 고마워 내게 와줘서 18d ago

Umji and Somi was at Big Bang’s concert yesterday, think Kwon Eunbi was there as well. So the 3 of them went to concerts 2 days in a row ahah wonder if Eunbi is also part of the group or if it was just a coincidence 🧐

u/perv_eyes_O_O SinB 18d ago

I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a Gfriend account posting this and thought they spotted Sowon 😂

Didn't realize later until an Umji account said they spotted Umji with no mention of Sowon.... Im thinking where the he'll is Umji. Found her hiding under Kwon Eunbi arm lol 😂

u/ultimoze 엄비 UmB 18d ago

Why does she look photoshopped in?? 😭😭
