JooE also became a pivotal member of the group, as she eventually became known as K-pop’s “Tropicana Girl” due to her viral dance moves in a Tropicana commercial. However, MOMOLAND concluded their activities on February 14, 2023.
As members went their separate ways, JooE decided to join Mnet’s survival program “Queendom Puzzle” to compete for the final lineup of project girl group EL7Z UP. Unfortunately, JooE was eliminated in the show’s semi-finals.
