NINE MUSES ARE COMING BACK!

[heart-eyes-motheracker]

Sera did a brief Instagram Live today, it was so nice to see her!

[indigomovn]

I know they said the lineup for the Nine Muses comeback will be confirmed later, but we all know it’s gonna be OT8. maybe Sungah might sit this one out and I know this is wishful thinking, but if they reached out to Sera like they should’ve in the first place, she might agree to it. eventhough she left the group earlier than OT8, they still should’ve asked her as well as Hyunjoo and Eunji if she wanted to participate.

9Muses Deep Dive: More Than Just Pretty Faces

Here are my credentials: Very few, this time. I know a few of the members of 9Muses (Sera and Hyuna especially), but since there are / were so many, I don’t know them all. I think I’m too casual to be a casual fan of them, but I do really like the songs I’ve heard and I’m excited to hear more.

@dreamingxinxthexrain I remember you being a fan, so I'm tagging you; hope you don't mind!

[gaymer-hag-stan]

I love 9muses but I know very little about their history because I only started listening to them a few weeks ago, what's up with the three members you said wouldn't/were less likely to come back? Was there some tension when they were departing? Thanks in advance for enlightening me, have a nice day :)

Hi!

I'm always glad when people start stanning older or straight up inactive groups. I myself got into KARA after their initial hiatus in 2016.

So yeah, about the Muses.

Eunji is a mother and housewife nowadays and back when they released their infamous documentary that was filmed during their first couple months of activity she made a comment about only being in the group in hopes of launching a solo career later on, which is something a lot of idols do and think but none of them really say it out loud so it rubbed some fans the wrong way. But most importantly I think she's just done with the entertainment industry in general, she even seems to have deleted her social media or made a new account that I don't know of.

Lee Sem created some tension back in 2021 when seven of the Muses (Kyungri, Hyemi, Keumjo, Sojin, Minha, Hyuna and Euaerin) joined forces for a TV show where a bunch of other idols (After School was there but other than them and 9MUSES I don't remember who else) regrouped to perform some hit songs one more time. Lee Sem said that while she knew about it she was never properly informed about preparations for it or invited and she felt that, since they performed Dolls, a song the group released while she was still a part of it, they should have made a better effort to reach out to her and include her. She strongly hinted that it was Hyuna and Euaerin specifically who she thinks were actively gatekeeping her off this performance, she never mentioned them by name but fans figured out she must have been talking about them. Fans felt she was unnecessarily stirring the pot and trying to ruin the performance and that she "abandoned" them on her own will and was now trying to get attention while the other girls stayed in the group until the end (which I feel is a bit unfair because at the end of the day only four out of a total of fourteen girls stayed in the group by the time she disbanded and out of said four only Hyemi never left the group) She eventually said that she talked with the Muses and they squashed the beef but then she went off social media again. I hope there's truly no ill will there but I feel like both parties would be more apprehensive about Lee Sem joining the upcoming comeback.

A bit of a trigger warning as I will be discussing mental health issues and thoughts regarding s*****e regarding Sera's part

Sera is on YouTube and I think she either outright said that she was never even considered from the previous reunion performance or at least strongly hinted at it and she wasn't too happy about that. Furthermore she has been quite open about the severe mental health issues her time as a 9MUSES member has caused her, from depression to social anxiety and even thinking of ending her own life. She did clarify that she is getting treated for all of her mental issues and that she is getting better but even if the other girls properly invite her this time, I'm not sure if she would be willing to join. I hope she does but, obviously, only if she is certain she can handle it because she clarified that 9MUSES emphasis on sex appeal on many of their stage outfits made her constantly question her height, weight and looks compared to the rest of the Muses was a constant source of anxiety for her. On top of that the Muses were promoted from day one as "modelsols" as in models who are idols because all of the initial and most of the subsequent girls had either worked as models or had the height and respective measurements associated with runway models and that made a lot of people online actively jealous and hateful towards them. A lot of people seem to retroactively think that the main reason 9MUSES never really took off was that the general public at large was jealous of a group of tall, beautiful women that could sing and dance and released feminine and bold music on top of that. Ultimately, a lot of fans consider Sera an integral part of the group. She was their most competent vocalist and was their leader pre debut, lost the position due to too much stress being put on her but assumed it again after the other girl left, was actively interested in making music and didn't see it as just a way to gain enough popularity to later do something else in the idol business, actively carried them forward through their tough times and her voice was instantly recognisable in their tracks up to her departure. A lot of people felt like the group lost a big part of its identity with Sera's departure and therefore a lot of people want to see her back, but only if she's ready.

Lastly, Sungah was the other member I talked about that may or may not join them. She was absent from their reunion because she's also a mother now but she seems to be more in touch with the members than either Sera or the other girls so maybe she'll join this time? Korea has a really hard time accepting married women and mothers as idol singers so there's this negative perception each time one of them attempts to rejoin the industry after starting a family. It's also why Hyuna may skip this one too but she was among the seven that were present in the last reunion so I think her chances are higher.

There's also Jaekyung, Rana and Bini, three of the original nine, but they left almost immediately after their debut so I don't think any of them are either interested or at all in touch with the rest of the Muses

I hope I didn't skip any important details, I'm not a hardcore stan myself, I just really love their music and follow the 2013 Muses on Instagram so if any other fan has anything to add or correct please do
