Singer Bada's heartfelt post reflecting longing for former S.E.S. member Shoo garners attention

On the 7th, singer Bada posted on her social media account, “It’s true that a lot of time has passed,” along with a video. The video featured the music video and stage performance of S.E.S.’s song “Dreams Come True,” highlighting the fresh and affectionate moments of Bada, Shoo, and Eugene, catching the public’s eye.

Bada expressed, “We may be the weakest in the face of time, but I believe there is a greater power in sincerity. Even if we can’t always give the best grapes, I want to bear fruit until the end and convey it to our fans with all my soul.”

She added hashtags such as ‘friend,’ ‘goodnight,’ ‘SES,’ and ‘SEA.’

Although Bada did not directly mention Shoo, the video included scenes of her cheek-to-cheek with Shoo, indicating Bada’s ongoing longing and affection for her former group member.

Bada, Shoo, and Eugene debuted as S.E.S. in 1997, becoming one of the most beloved original fairy-like girl groups. Afterward, the members pursued individual acting and solo careers and released a special album in 2017 to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

However, in 2016, Shoo was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for two years, for habitual gambling worth approximately 700 million won in Macau and other places, casting a shadow over the group’s full reunion activities.

Shoo later shared her story on TV Chosun’s ‘Star Documentary My Way,’ with Bada and Eugene supporting her. However, Bada confessed during an Instagram live in September last year that she had distanced herself from Shoo, leading to rumors of discord.

Bada criticized Shoo for wearing tank tops in her comeback activities, which Shoo found displeasing. Bada explained, “I nagged because I was worried people might think Shoo hadn’t come to her senses, but Shoo probably didn’t like that. My conservative remarks pushed us apart.”

Bada continued to support Shoo publicly on social media. She shared lyrics from S.E.S.’s song “Letter” and messages like “I’m sorry for being an inadequate sister, Sooyoung” (Shoo’s real name), “I will always wait for you,” and “forever S.E.S.”
