Youngseo drops from ILLIT, teases comeback with The Black Label
ILLIT first revealed a six-member lineup on RU NEXT? finale. Then, out of nowhere, member Youngseo terminated her contract before the official debut. Fans were left in the dark—until now.
Youngseo was spotted filming in late May, sparking comeback rumors. No one knew what she was working on until June 5, when she launched a personal Instagram account.
Investigations into her new Instagram show ties to a domain linked with The Black Label. The location in her photos matches TBL’s new building in Hannam-dong.
Fans picked up on this, predicting Youngseo’s debut with a new girl group under The Black Label, possibly in late 2025 or 2026.
