[ NEWS ] LILY TO LEAVE PARAGON AND LEGION ENTERTAINMENT 

There has been much speculation lately surrounding Paragon’s leader, Lily and whether or not she will resign with the group and entertainment company. With recent reports claiming that Lily has been in talks with other agencies, fans are concerned that she will not be around to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the groups’s debut. The hip-hop girl group debuted on March 13th of 2008, and Lily’s contract is said to expire a month prior in February 2019. Our source tells us that it is highly likely that Lily will depart from Paragon and Legion Entertainment, who she has been signed with for 15 years.  

However, this isn’t the first time fans have gone into a frenzy over the news of a potential disbandment. Two years in an interview with Bazaar Korea, the young starlet hinted at her time being up as a singer with Legion. 

“As I’ve grown as an artist, I just want more simplicity. I want to be able to do what I enjoy and am passionate about. Maybe it’s because I’m older and I am more aware of how the business works, but there seems to be so many obstacles I have to go through and my creativity suffers.” 

On Lily’s social media platforms, fans are calling for her to comment on the situation, but she has yet to say anything regarding the matter. There has also  been no official statement from Legion Entertainment on the issue.

[ RUMOR UPDATE ] LEGION’S NEW LOVEBIRDS

After a few days of unusual silence following the outbreak of rumors surrounding Paragon’s Lily and MJSA’s Sunwoo, representatives from Legion Entertainment finally spoke to various media outlets to address the situation. Said rumors originally sparked after the two were seen in Paris together, based on their own social media posts as well as photographs taken by fans during their outings. 

Here is what Legion Entertainment had to say: “Paragon’s Lily and MJSA’s Sunwoo are not dating. The two were in Paris for a photoshoot with Vogue Korea, and they are known to be close friends, but nothing more. The rumors spread over the past weekend are false.”

[ RUMOR ] LEGION’S NEW LOVEBIRDS 

Are Paragon’s Lily and MJSA’s Sunwoo dating? Well, according to netizens, there is definitely something going on between the two label mates who’ve been seen frequently together in recent months. 

Just last week, both were spotted on what appears to have been a little getaway to the city of love, Paris. There is much speculation that the talented rappers may be involved romantically, especially after a slew of photos documenting their time abroad were posted to each of their social media pages. Even one showing Legion’s finest hand in hand, causing an uproar in the comments section of the post. 

But are sparks really flying between the newly rumored couple? 

Not everyone is a believer, as some fans aren’t buying into the hype. Noting that it is widely known of the close relationship between Paragon and their junior group, MJSA. So it comes as no surprise that Sunwoo and Lily are close as well. Both parties have often spoke highly of each other and their friendship. 

Earlier this year, the duo came together to collaborate for Sunwoo’s solo debut album, HIM with the song, Ooh Ah. It’s also rumored that he will be joining her on her next project, which is highly anticipated after the long hiatus from Lily and Paragon. Dating or not, we can’t wait for these two to release another song together! 

Though there are mixed reviews on whether the two are now an item, there has been no official statement from Legion Entertainment that confirms anything, but we have to admit that they’d make a cute couple.

[ INTERVIEW ] MINACE SITS DOWN AND DISCUSSES HER UPCOMING SEPTEMBER SOLO DEBUT.

📝 POSTED: 30 MINS AGO 👁 VIEWS: 57.2K  💬 COMMENTS: 22476  🔁 SHARES: 12.9K

Read the full interview below.

Q: We’ve heard you have a solo debut coming up. How does it feel to be finally releasing music of your own after ten years? A: I’m definitely a little bit nervous– it’s essentially like I’m making my debut all over again, however this time it’ll be without my members being by my side. But I’m also very excited. It feels like I’m finally getting a chance to branch out and show my own colors. Min Sukja may be Paragon, but Paragon is not Min Sukja, does that make any sense? So it will be a unique experience to show a side of myself I haven’t been able to since debut.

Q: To an extent. So what can we expect from MINACE’s solo venture? A: You’ll have to just wait and see, won’t you? [ laughs ] Really though, it has a bit of everything. There’s a little bit that’s very Paragon inspired, and the rest is just, well. Me.

Q: What are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced in the process? A: I’m afraid I’ve yet to experience half those challenges seeing as I haven’t released anything yet, but up to this point finding my own style was something I struggled a lot with. I’ve had a glimpse or two of it here and there but it took some time for me to really come to terms with who I am and what kind of product I wanted to put out there.

Q: Do you have any concerns about promoting on your own? A: A little. It’s different when you’re with a group, at some point you’ve done the dances so many times it’s like you can go on autopilot with everything. But I feel like being by myself, I have a lot more I need to focus on, like there’s more pressure to perform perfectly. Plus, it’s been ages since I’ve promoted with the girls. I’ll miss them terribly, for sure.

Q: Speaking of it having been a while since you’ve promoted with your group, can we expect a Paragon comeback any time soon? A: Unfortunately we don’t have one in the works just yet, but there’s nothing I would love more than anything to be able to come back together soon. Hopefully I will have good news for you all at a later time.

Q: Do you have anything you’d like to say to your fans? A: Paragon has finally reached their ten year anniversary earlier this year, and I just want to thank GEMs for their never-ending support, whether they’ve been here since day one or one day ago. It truly means more to me than I can ever describe. It’s super hot these days, so please be sure you’re taking care of yourselves and drinking plenty of water. Please anticipate my album coming out next month. I hope to meet with you all soon, I love you!

[ NEWS ] GENIE HOLDS LARGE BIRTHDAY BASH FOR SISTER LILY @ OCTAGON CLUB!

This evening around 5PM KST, singer Genie showed how much she appreciates her sister by throwing a large birthday bash where over 350 fans attended, all of which were in on the surprise and kept it a secret from Paragon’s leader! It has been a little over a year since we saw the sisters in public together which had come off as peculiar to the public eye due to their very close relationship, however the reason for this was explained at the event.

“We’ve both been very busy with our careers. She helped me on my upcoming album and I can’t for you guys to hear. I’ll be coming back in September.” So not only did we get to see the sisters together, but we got a comeback announcement from our favorite sensual soloist. She did make it a point that this comeback will have a very different sound than we’re used to, but to look our for the reasons that will be spilling out soon. 

Over the course of the night, we got performances from Lady, an upcoming group from Legion Entertainment, where they performed covers of One Night Only, Be Natural and Paragon’s Lonely. Rapper Ace J of the group Beau performed his original song Ordinary Love with Genie. Soloist Kylie also came out to show her support, performing her song Two Beer. Adriana of Reign Check was there to perform Canvas off of her upcoming mini album and fans were nothing short of confused due to the recent disbandment rumors. Juliet of Paragon showed her support as well, performing I Like That, one of the many classics by the group Paragon. Many other performers came through and showed their support as well and we will be posting them as the fancams roll out! We love to see these sisters interact and we’re happy that Genie did this for Lily.

JULIET’S FIRST SOLO EVENT RUNDOWN + COMEBACK ANNOUNCEMENT!

On August 16th, was Juliet’s very first solo event. As expected, tickets sold out within the hour and the venue was packed. They clearly underestimated the number of people attending as there weren’t enough seats for everybody at first, so event coordinators rushed to get extra. Due to this, the event’s start was a bit delayed, but it was very much worth it. Juliet finally appeared, wearing a black dress with a long slit and a tiara. Looking just like she stepped out of a classic movie. The crowd went wild, as expected of CHERRIES and even GEMs who attended to support the PARAGON member. It wasn’t just fans in attendance, artists from LEGION ENT were spotted as well. Those seen at the event were; MJSA’s  MΔΞSTΔR, fellow PARAGON members Minace & Lily, LADY’s Jenna & Mimi, BEAU’s CJae, WÜNDERLÜST‘s DK and many others. They were seated in a special area so it wasn’t hard to miss them.
