Chowon Han, who unfortunately missed her debut opportunity due to a vote rigging incident on 'Produce 48', debuted as a rookie girl group 'LIGHTSUM' and conveyed her honest feelings.



Today (10th), Cube Entertainment's new girl group Lightsome held a showcase to commemorate the release of their debut single 'Vanilla' and announced their official debut.

Rightsome is a rookie girl group launched by Cube Entertainment about three years after (G)I-DLE debut. Among the members, Chowon, Nayoung, and Yoojeong have finally achieved their dream of debut through Mnet's survival program 'Produce 48'.




In particular, during the trial process related to manipulation of the 'Produce 101' series, the fact that Chowon was a victim of ranking manipulation caused many people's regret.

At that time, Chowon's 'Produce 48' was ranked 6th in the final ranking, but it is known that Chowon's debut failed due to the intervention of the production team.



Chowon, who achieved his dream of debuting three years after the end of 'Produce 48', honestly said about the controversy, "I would be lying if I didn't have a sense of disappointment or loss about the manipulation damage. I think I was very embarrassed and unfair at the time." While answering, he said, "But I'm happy and excited to meet the current member and debut."




Chowon continued, "I never showed a stage with Nayoung and Yoojung, who appeared on 'Produce 48' together, so it seems like they are looking forward to the stage together. So I worked harder to show a good side." I want to repay people with a good stage,” he emphasized.



Nayoung, who appeared on 'Produce 48' along with Chowon, also recalled that time, saying, "I was worried that he might have forgotten me after receiving undeserved love. I'm happy to debut." Yoojung also expressed her feelings, "I'm so happy to be part of a team with my sisters. The fans also seem to have been very pleased with the fact that the three of us are a team."




Lightsome, who made a bold entry into the music industry with bright and energetic charm, is an 8-member group consisting of Sang-A, Cho-Dong, Na-Young, Hina, Joo-Hyeon, Yoo-Jeong, Hwi-Yeon, and Ji-An. The expected.
