“I was so upset that I ran out anyway and told everyone the truth,” she said, detailing her decision to walk off stage to declare her solo ambitions.
Fans are stunned, calling out the toxic culture in idol groups. Many were appalled by the reaction of her members, who seemed amused rather than concerned during her outburst.

“Although I trained longer… they kept blocking me from getting debuted,” she explained, highlighting how the older members intentionally made her look unprofessional.
The backlash against bullying in the idol industry is gaining traction, and Onodela’s story is a potent reminder of the struggles idols face.
Stay tuned as the situation develops.
