HYBE Idols Admit To Not Talking For 8 Months After An Argument — Fans Find Proof Of Conflict
Recently, HYBE Labels Japan‘s boy group &TEAM made their official Korean debut with “Back to Life,” becoming double million sellers.
The group have been promoting the release in Korea, including the typical appearances K-Pop groups make on shows.
Members Nicholas and Yuma appeared on ILLIT Minju‘s Minju’s Pink Cabinet, where they spoke about a number of topics.
During the show, Minju read a fan question asking if the pair had ever fought, and the two showed a little reluctance to answer the question.
Yuma revealed there was a period where he and Nicholas did not speak to each other, though they didn’t remember the reason for the argument. They revealed that the silence lasted around four months.
Nicholas shared that the members helped the two of them reconcile, and noted that it was not a physical fight, just the two of them being mad at each others. When asked by Minju if it was awkward to be fighting while working with each other, Yuma said that the most uncomfortable when he sat next to him at events.
Yuma says that fans specifically asked them to do the “neko” pose together.
Later, during a fansign on the day the video was released, Nicholas admitted that the time was actually eight months instead of four.
