FANS OUTRAGED OVER LACK OF PROMOTION FOR JUNE’S SINGLE ‘FIRST LOVE’ 

On the 27th of January, June released her teaser image for ‘First love’ which has been set to release on the 29th of January. Fans complained this comeback seemed hurried, with a teaser image being release just two days before and everything being organized so quickly after June’s discharge from the hospital, claiming they did not put enough effort into it. 2K entertainment released a statement on their official website.

The label announced that June would be releasing her first ever self written song, something that hyped up a lot of fans. However the way they went about it, is what upset many. Netizen voiced the comeback seems too hurried and that it’s barely given any proper spotlight. Some commented ‘This will flop because of 2K, sad.’ and ‘Why announce it just now???’ 

‘Hello, we are here to clear some of the air. The comeback set for June, won’t be considered an official comeback. Days ago, June stepped up to us and showed us her self written track and desire to debut it. After taking a listen to the track, we decided this would be a good opportunity for her to show a different side of herself. We have filmed a Music Video for the song to support the sound of it, but she will not be officially promoting the song. Instead we will release it as a bonus to her last solo album. This we have decided together with June who had no desire to promote it and simply wanted to put this song out there. At the moment June is getting back to work and getting used to the jist of it. Please look forward to this release, although she may not be promoting it, it’s a big event to her and we are trying our best to support her in something so new!’

MELLOW’S JUNE SPOTTED LEAVING THE HOSPITAL WEARING A SMILE

After have left fans with a huge scare by fainting on stage during Mellow’s showcase and being admitted to the hospital shortly after, June was finally spotted again leaving the hospital wearing a cute outfit, a bare face but most importantly a bright smile indicating she is doing just fine! Luckily, as many were left worried for the idol’s health.

On the 21st of December, Mellow’s Showcase for their latest comeback album ‘Pippi’ included an acoustic version of the title track. Throughout the performance the young idol was seen standing on wobbly legs and breaking into cold sweat before finally collapsing to the ground. She was rushed to the hospital after which her entertainment revealed she’d be staying there a few days to recover. With the recent news that came out just mere hours ago of fellow member Yuuka taking a hiatus from the group to tend her ill father, many were worried for the group all together, such as the stress they must’ve been handling but fortunately June stepped out today wearing a smile to reassure fans.

It has not been revealed whether the idol will be stepping back into the busy schedules for the remainder of the year and beginning of next year, however we think it may be nice for her to take some more days off to fully recover the painful tumble she made. At least it’s good seeing her with a bright smile. We’ll keep you guys updated with more soon.

JUNE LEAVES A HEARTFELT MESSAGE TO FANS FOR HER 200 DAY ANNIVERSARY

On the 27th of November, June celebrated her 200th day since debut by uploading a video to weibo of her cutely eating cake, alongside a long and heartfelt message to her fans, thanking them for their support and sharing her thoughts and wishes for the future-- mentioning Mellow’s comeback along the way as well. 

“Hello Junebugs! It’s special day, do you guys now? I’m sure some of you know, I’ve received so many nice gifts from you, I feel humbled and flattered ahh. Today marks my 200th day since debut, that’s almost a year! It feels like I only debuted yesterday and only got to know you guys for a little bit but we’re almost reaching a year and I’ve been able to do so many things already and that’s all because of you guys. So I decided I needed to write you guys a letter, and thank you guys for being here by my side and supporting me through it all.

On May 11th this year, I debuted as a solo artist with ‘Breathe’, which was really scary because aside from small stages I had never actually performed. I loved to sing at home and I felt comfortable posting cover video’s up online but that’s because I never had to face an audience. I had no one to rely on because I was on my own and that was really scary. I worried so much whether people would like my music, whether they would like me? But then suddenly, nice comments came left and right. You complimented me and encouraged me, told me you were looking forward to more and it was so exciting? I had never felt so loved before! Then when Mellow came into the picture, I worried it wouldn’t be liked, I had already debuted so why twice? But I was excited, Mellow is my life now. They are my friends and family and support me and you guys liked it, were excited for Mellow and supported me once again. I felt so grateful and so humble. I had worked so hard to get to this point, I’m still at the very start and I’m still nowhere near greatly popular but I have you guys, and that’s really making me excited for the future and happy to perform. I want to make you proud. 

Now months later, Mellow is reaching their second official comeback, after releasing 2 Music Video’s for Mellow and 2 as solo artist, I’m so excited. I feel my life is falling together. I’m so motivated to bring out  the best in me, to make you all proud and to give you all something to look forward to. Without you I wouldn’t have ever even reached this stage. I got to do collaborations and special stage, I have received so much positive feedback. I worked hard but without you and Mellow, my entertainment and friends and family I wouldn’t have been able to get to where I am now. I owe all of this to you and therefor I will promise to do my best, I will promise to better myself and to try my best to never let you down. I won’t simply give up and I’ll be an idol many can look up to!

I came from a great family, my parents and brother were always supportive of everything I did. When I told them I wanted to become a singer, they didn’t stop me and they didn’t laugh at me. They just told me I could do it, my father even came to me to all of my auditions, to watch me sing and being there for support. My brother sends me many encouraging messages to this day, he’s someone close to me and in the same industry, he gives me so much support. My mother makes sure to call and ask if I’m eating well. Had it not been for them too, I would have never been accepted into an entertainment as great as 2K entertainment, I would have never even dared to do any of this. I wouldn’t have been here, to proudly tell you guys that I have reached me 200th day. I know this is a small amount, but I can’t believe how amazing this feels. I have reached one of my goals, and I’m aiming even higher from now on.

Please look forward to a better June, one that will try her best to do great things and give you lots of things to look forward to. And please look forward to Mellow’s comeback, we released our first teaser image just hours ago, I hope you guys are excited, as much as I am. I can’t wait to stand on stage again and to show you a new side of us. Thank you for always being here, I will be forever in your depth. With much love, Heo June (Mellow’s Jubee) ♡”
