Really cried when I see her smile so brightly on stage, how strong she is to cover the trauma and pretending that everything is ok.
I know right she's smiling and tried to act ok she can't even say april properly now 😭😭
Lee Hyun-joo was bullied very seriously in the group. She had panic disorder and difficulty breathing. Eventually, Lee Hyun-joo attempted suicide.Lee Hyun-joo's parents say they cry and feel heartbroken when they think about that time. And the company forced Lee Hyun-joo to lie to get him out of April. And Lee Hyun-joo said she was leaving April because of her acting. In addition, there are many other unfair incidents that Lee Hyun-joo suffered.
@@user-fq1ss6yu9y Did she legally leave the group or did the company kick her out?
@@shookqueens7081 they didnt let her leave and she had to go thru half of tinkerbell comeback then they allowed her to leave.
I thought it was because she just likes performing (like a sort of escape) but that works too
no wonder she’s umji’s best friend their personality are so alike. both are so innocent and cute🥺❤️
Whoa really? I just guessed who other member looks like her, and that's umji, they both almost have a same smile
@@raihulaflah3873 yes they eat out together during hyunjoo’s birthday and what’s interesting is that umji get scouted by source music during that day too.
@@user-cv9yx7nk4n I'm glad to know that, such an affected moment :')
@@nadhifarayya i also just knew about this after this whole april issue but i’ve read before that umji was eating with her friend when soumu scouted her but idk that friend is hyunjoo.
She can't say well that she was from april because she didn't want to be related to april and she wasn't proud that she became a member of it. Lol. Approved.
If she wasn't proud why did she almost say that she is still a part of them tho?
@@ghostcrown6572 because she was used to it??? She was a member for a year *so yeah
Whoever bullied this baby needs to get the punishment they deserve.
@@iankaramirez9295 her brother have released proof, the bullying is real for sure
When Taemin comments he can't give her his criticism when she cries and she immediately pulls herself together and apologizes, that's adorable ^^
She is far prettier than Naeun, April. PERIODT
I don't really know how to feel, I honestly love naeun at first but I don't know anymore
"she is not doll, everyone" Yes he is right she can get hurt too
But she looks like one she is so cute and beautiful yet they treat her like one
Watching this again makes me feel so sad knowing what she had to go through :(
Hyunjoo's brother also released a medical report of her attempted suicide 2 days before DSP had put her on hiatus.. So if anyone here is on the fense speak for itself
@@elsalove7793 can you explain more? bc i haven’t heard anything about her bc i never listened to april. but i’m surprised i haven’t heard bc i’m very in touch with all the kpop “ drama “ and news.
and now I believe that she cried not becuz of that moment when she passed but for what she suffered in the past with those trash bullies and at that moment she knew she had a chance, again... gl HJ
@@arunimajangajan4357 the ex member AJAX is biased.
Sure he knew all the APRIL member since he WAS also part of the company but now after he left? He is not that close to Hyunjoo, he only had that 1 photo with her and it was from ISAC? 🤭
Also He is either Naeun's boyfriend or had a big crush on her. He has Naeun photo on his phone case and frequently meeting with her.
FYI I have read the stories from both sides and yea ok not only Hyunjoo but the whole group were stressed and suffered by all of that back then and they were still a kid? Hmmm.
But! They were a TEAM and they decided to ignores Hyunjoo and left her out alone? The company also not helping them LOL. Remember, she attempted to su1c1d3.
Just like Hyunjoo's brother said (since Hyunjoo didn't say anything), the actual reason she left the group was because of them.
Sorry for my broken english
@@cosmicspeachy your english is completely fine please don't apologise for it. Yes, I see what you mean. I just mentioned them because I thought you hadn't read the statements made by A-jax members and Yena's sister. I agree that su***de does indicate that bullying could have taken place but the whole dating thing might be a bit of a reach . I'll personally only believe what the victim has to say when they decide to speak up. Also, I didn't want to come off as rude and I'm sorry if I did.
@@cosmicspeachy finally someone speak about it!! Girl i totally agree with you;! Such a good fact 👍
She was 20 on this show... Then... she must be really really young when she was in April. Imagine such a young girl enduring all those bullying...
@@chinzlom2924 lol and a 3 year younger maknae included in bullying her....disgusting
do you change your mind yet? lol She has been victimizing herself to ruin APRIL
No matter what's the reason, "Bullying is NOT a joke"
Coming out of April group is her best decision. I hope she is always happy in her life.
She used to be the most popular and the center of APRIL. Is that is the reason the other members bully her?
Yes she was the visual and center (ive follow april since forever) so kinda know.
i don't know if it's true because i just read it somewhere, that the april girls were bullying someone when they were still trainees /predebut and hyunjoo protected the victim. told the april members to stop but instead, the members bullied her in place of the victim she protected.
another factor is that they were jealous of her because she's the visual and the center. she received the most praises from fans and nonfans because of her visuals and she has the most recognition from the people.
to all the people defending bullies, if it was really only about her physical health, she wouldve just taken a hiatus and continued with the group when she recovered
Im so surprise how Taemin so good in speaking here...i used to see him hiding in his hyungs back keep being the shy and maknae image right now I can see a Taeman... aigoo my kid grow so fast... 😂
the fact that when I'm reading your comment he only has 3 hyungs left... and now he has an angel who will watch over him forever. Sorry to bring this up I'm just so heartbroken
Clafford music same heartbroken and mad how he could've left everyone just like that and I know he mentioned that I his letter but still he should have known that the only person who can take you out of depression is you, I wish he'd known so he wouldn't have relied on others and wouldn't have gotten dissapointed (I am talking from years of experience with depression)
knowing now about the real reasons why she left April, this just feels even more bittersweet. Hyunjoo looks like a doll, so fragile but actually is so strong! she was able to overcome the trauma and try being an idol again, having to start from the rock bottom, all because her desire to be an idol was too big. I can only wish the best to this small cute warrior that is Hyunjoo.
The fact that they lied about the reason why she left her group.... I'm even more angry
Update : for now, we don't really know who is the victim since both parties are still under investigation
I think taemin know something is not right. He gave her a chance to shine.
Now I really believe all those allegations of her being lazy is just flat out wrong
If she really didn't care about practicing and skipping out purposefully,why would she have the guts of appearing on a survival show and giving her all to redebut?
I hope she gets the justice she deserves
I don't know all the facts yet but one thing is for sure,she is NOT lazy
Yes you can she in every video vlog or ect, hyunjoo so active, but the member ignore her, but she still keep try the best until she left group start from zero again, lazy person cant do that DSpi
Ahhh she's that the prettiest member of April back then.
@@user-te3zv7kv4j sorry but not for me, I believe people have different taste.
She’s literally the cutest girl I’ve ever seen, she didn’t deserve to get bullied
The fact that she couldn't even make herself say the group name like she never felt like she were a part of it. I'm rooting for you, Hyunjoo!
I hope the bullying scandal is fake, how can someone bully her, she is too innocent for this cruel world
ikr, it's so horrible that i wish it's just a troll making up rumors. she gives off the vibe of a precious friend or sibling that you want to protect so to think she was being bullied breaks my heart
because she is cute she will definitely be bullied by his female friends. it is common when women feel there is something that is competed with her.
Taemin seems to like her alot
@@emmasuperable4582 taeun isn't real. please realize that. they even said so themselves. they haven't ever talked after the show. it was JUST a show.
I don’t understand how some people could actually side with the other APRIL members and “sense that hyunjoo is the snake”. Like are you blind? So many evidence of the other members bullying her even so openly on show, imagine how they treat her privately. The company is even blaming hyunjoo saying that the other members are the victims. How do one bully the others? Are they saying that the audience are blind?
I supported Hyunjoo when the controversy came out even when I was Naeun's fan, but now all of Hyunjoo's inconsistencies and the police statement where she couldn't confirm the bullying stated by Hyunjoo's brother and her friend came out, and it's really confusing.
Looking at the timeline, it doesn't make sense that Naeun bullied her since early 2015 when she joined the company 3 months before her debut. Hyunjoo said that Chaewon bullied her to become close to Somin, but Chaewon was close to Somin from before. It can be seen in the program where they participated before debuting. It is also known that they trained together for two years.
Hyunjoo mentioned that her family was aware of the bullying from the very beginning, however her mother was close with Chaewon's mother. They used to go out to buy clothes for the girls and supported each other. Look, how can a mother be close to the mother of the girl who bullies her daughter? Because that friendship lasted until Hyunjoo left the group. It doesn't make sense, no matter how you look at it. If my daughter is bullied, there is no reason why I would want to be friends with that bully's mother.
I apologize for my English as it is quite bad.
@@Its_valeeeen you have said a lot, and there is even more lies that hyunjoo said. April has been damaged because of her lies and because her being jealous of others' success.
i got teary eyes after watching this, i mean how could she looked this bright, pure and cute after knowing the fact that she got bullied from her previous group, she didn't give up on her dream... it's gave me a motivation.. I am also a victim of bullying, seeing the people who have bullied me get a better spot than me sometimes makes me feel like giving up on my dreams, hyunjoo hwaiting!! :")
Is like she came from an anime, to much cuteness(Sorry for my bad english)
She should study Japanese. She could have a following there, and Model, and do promotional TV appearances that Boa had to do.
Who is here after the bullying scandal?
Normally I really hate this kind of comment , especially when it came up at a song saying "who is here bcuz ABC recommended it?". But this time, I finally feel the luck of getting to know this beautiful girl. She had huge potentials and it really sadddens me how it all turned out
As a bullied person myself... how can you bully someone like her? Like how dare you?
@@frejaartsdrawings3858 the only people that bullied Hyun Joo is yena, jinsol, naeun, chaewon
Scandal real or fake. If you have the ability to attract people around you, you can be a subject of jealous people and that will never be lie in this world. Fighting hyunjoo!
I was already fangirling over hyunjoo then i saw taemin blushing finding her cute, and I fangirled even more XD
same shes so cute and then everytime taemin was on the screen smiling like that i kinda just fell out my chair
look at hyunaa smiling like a proud momm oh my goshh 😭😭😭 and also taeminn oh my gosh she’s so cute i can’t 😭😭😭💕
1)Hyunjoo herself told in the interview in Nov 2015 that they started practicing and living together for about half of year. She also told that she and other April members were got along very well (there's also an article about this).
2) Hyunjoo's brother said that April and the managers left her sister alone when she fainted during practices and schedules. But, there're multiple articles posted on fancafe saying the manager carried back hyunjoo who was at the time.
I've admired Na eun since when I saw her in Extraordinary You drama I thought she's very angelic, sweet, and feminine. But then when I looked over her group, she was the exact opposite. I really cant tolerate bullying as I've been through it many times. Some may say that it wasnt true at all. Then why tf would this unnie leave the group? Fighting Unnie Hyunjoo!! Youre beautiful and strong. 🤍
Now, I understand why she was start crying easily. How can DSP kicked her out of April. She has so much idol aura 😭💔
It’s for the best she was kicked out. She was bullied mercilessly in April so leaving that group what’s the best thing that could have happened
her face is exactly like tzuyu + dahyun
123salty_ _ I was trying to figure it out! She’s like a perfect combination of the two.
So glad Taemin said she is the STANDARD!!! I believe the STANDARD will never be the bully.
She is the real innocent person, not just in back stage or just in cameras. Please care to this baby omg. I cry see her face, her smile:(
I can sense she really has a pure heart, she's too innocent that people can easily do pity things to her. Please hyunjoo, I wish you a long prosper and happiness. You deserve all the kindness that this world could offer.
I'd say that she is one of the strongest girl I ever seen. Like she was bullied but still managed to put a smile on her face
Okay, why do I think taemin and hyunjoo look cute together 😅
i mean, how could someone hate this girl? she's so pure. i fell for her just by seeing this
People with ugly hearts like to bully those who are noble than them, and they hope that those who are better than them will suffer
People who envy her, unfortunately there are a lot of evil people who may envy her natural charm and pureness
I AM IN LOOOOVE!!!
Also she left APRIL in April? ... Unfortunate.
Well she unofficially left in April due to her sickness. She officially left in late October by writing a handwritten letter. She’s really such a sweet person. I hope she does well on this show :-(( 💗💗💗
i'M SORRY THIS MADE ME BURST OUT LAUGHING- I- OMG
it is unfortunate though! :( she wanted to do well so badly, and she's adorable ( i still think she can improve in many ways, but she's good!) :)
2:15 i really love the way she reacts to hyunjoo

“If you can’t sing or dance, you can pass if you’re charming.” Well damn, maybe this is why some idols just get their face done to be pretty and work on being cute and charming. I guess you do need Stan attractors in every group. I would just rather learn to sing or dance well than to be putting on a show all the time, I don’t have the energy to be cute and happy all the time 😩🙄
Chim Cham Yeah, that's why many groups must have atleast one 'visual member'
Let's be real, would you stan a group of talented people they're boring as fuck, have 0 stage presence and are problematic??
this is also called entertainment industry, so normally if youre really that talented why would you waste and be an idol. also “idol” have a variety of things, not only good singing and dancing skills
Chim Cham to be succseful kpop group,every members should have thwir position,and that make people stan them. If main vocalist got most lines,people would say that they have all beautidul voices (when u listen to radio),and main dancer should got most center to make performance great,and visual should got most screentime.
I can feel her pain when she's crying. Everyone look down to her before, but that time all judges praise her i mean.. rain, taemin, hyuna and the others aren't a joke, so that's probably means a lot to her. Stay strong HyunJoo !
2:07 when she said " I don't give up,and i do my best"
yes,she didn't give up even her members bullied her and she do her best to hide the pain she been through:((.. i am not fan of them but i feel sad for those people who get bullied
Although I can't say who is right or wrong for sure. This bullying allegation is unlike T-ara in which Hwayoung is apparenly being lazy and just accused other members
April members were obviously JEALOUS of her beauty, charms and talents. 🙄
Doesnt people say she left the group bcus she wants to persue her dream as an actress? And then shes join this program? From this, cant we see the truth? If shes really sick she can just take a hiatus, why she should left the group when she has a dream to be an idol too? There must be something wrong behind her departure.
Well, DSP mentioned on their recent statement that she still wants to pursue idol career after her departure to April.
@@seulgientertainment5752 are you from DSP??? I just notice you have lots of reply on comments pro hyunjoo here 😆.
@@maumaupm6228 So you are, you are not from DSP nor known all of them but you guys immediately believe to the allegations despite the company have denied it.
I think it was pretty obvious that reason she left isn’t because she was sick. They would probably let her rest and join the group again if that was the case
She wanted to follow her dream so bad she endured years of bullying and even then she didn't give up. I hope only good things come her way from now on
Hyunjoo (April) Mina (AOA) and Hwayoung (T-ARA) have lot in com
I know that there may be more talented people, but idols also need stage presence and have to draw people in. I think that's one of the factors that she got in. She drew attention and she did the performance with confidence, even if she isn't the best singer or dancer.
She is actually treating being an idol as a job and if she is textbook idol, then she is doing it terrifically fine :) She is just being professional. Although I don't usually follow Korean idols nor I watch Korean dramas, recently I happened to swipe through this news online. It makes such a strong impression for me as a survivor of bullying back in highschool. I am glad that she stepped up and talked about it.
본인한테 가장 불러주고싶고 해주고싶은 말일듯.. "어디서나 당당하게 걷기"
oh my gosh, she's so cute. I never watched this kind of shows and I just clicked because of SHINee's Taemin. But she truly stole it. I'm hoping to see her succeed and will definitely support whatever group she'll be part of later.
the thing some people don't seem to understand is that you can't just have dancers and singers in a group. if you look at any successful groups, you can instantly pinpoint to the charming ones, they attract you to the group, and the talent makes you stay.
Quality K-pop In other words: "charm". That's THE MAIN point to attract attention, talent is like the bonus.
however some charms can also make you break away from a group. As someone who lives on a tropical island the "I wanna be the cute baby doll face" certainly repulse me as that seems faked and forced. No jealousy or anything but I do find that really weird for human being to be a doll.
If you talk about charm, it's when you're not trying to charm but is still charming. Look at Jimin from bts, he looks weird when he tries to do aegyo but looks so cute when he is joking around. That's what you call natural charm
@@mo_oc7142 :| "i wanna be the cute baby face" what?????
thats not what charms mean...
it means to draw the attention not be cutesy, though that could be a character for some.
Hyunjoo is pretty naturally cute, doesn't look fake like i agree i get uncomfy
when people be acting extra cute but you can tell hyunjoo is just naturally cute.
natural if she is bullied by other members, she is prettier, more talented and more cheerful
She literally made everyone smile with her energy so cute!
that cry in the end , now make sense how she desperately want to be an idol back knowing that she's got kick out of april because of recent controversy
I got here because I just read somewhere that she left the group April because she was bullied by the other members. I hope its not true. And I hope she's doing better now
After what happened to the whole Jimin bully Mina, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be true :( after all the company stated that she left to pursue acting but here she was in an idol show.
I'm hoping the bullying case wasn't true too. She did want to stay in the group despite her health status. She only planned to go hiatus but dsp claimed she left due to health issue & changing career to become actress. But how come she auditioned for the unit, a program show for idols. Anyway, lets just wishing the best for her and hopefully she get better.
the company didn't really denied her brother's bullying accusation because their statement basically says that hyunjoo is the one at fault.
they've admitted to the bullying issue but they are not aware because they thought pushing the blame to hyunjoo will make the people on their side when it's the complete opposite. this case blown up in korea, even my non-kpop brother who is living in korea knows about this issue and he said everyone is supporting and on the side of the victim, hyunjoo.
She’s the most sweetest human ever she doesn’t deserve all of that
Omg she gives me extreme idol anime character vibes! She's literally a real life version of those idol anime idols, having a super happy and lively aura. I can literally see sparkles appear around her when she's performing just like in those anime XD
Taemin must likes her so much, the way he smile, the way he looks at her just so sweet XD
too bad dsp “forced” her to leave APRIL she is now all better.
IgnisDraco
This is her decision, dont want to burden other member and APRIL name in public after she sick for so long..she choose to leave.. while DSP give her another option toward acting.. Now she is better after 1 year.. She pursue her dream again in this program, the uni+
Dsp did a bad move, hyunjoo was actually one of the popular members pft
she decided to leave APRIL, she couldn't cope up with APRIL Tinkerbell promotion with very hard song (Tinkerbell is literally one of APRIL's hardest song vocally) and hardcore dance plus DSP no-lipsync policy
Andreas Widjaja lol where did you get this info from? They do lipsync some performances and Hyunjoo was a subvocalist so none if her parts were vocally challenging
She's so pure and innocent, i really respect her
I'm jealous girl. Not only rain and Hyuna but also taemin looking at her like that 😂! Ooh taemin !!
OMG she is adorable. Lol Taemin speaking the truth though, if she continues to practice her singing and dancing more she will essentially be an all star/hallyu idol. I wish her luck with her future. :)
BABY HYUNJOO USING HER CUTENESS TO HER ADVANTAGE
Disini Hyunjoo udah bisa senyum dengan lebar. Udah ga ada beban. Udah ga perlu pura pura kuat. 3 th lalu ihat ini aja udah sedih, apalagi sekarang setelah tahu apa yang sudah dia jalani sebelum dia keluar dari grup APRIL :(
Taemin being a mentor and senior ❤️ Now that Shinee is back I like him as well as the maknae 🤣💕
I think that its the answer about her problem this time. She was charming girl that makes everyone easy to love her. If you, watch this program, you'll know how great of hunjoo.
The reason why she cried at the end must be because of the relief that she had a chance to be an idol again. I feel so bad for her especially when I saw the fancam where she cried while performing "Tinkerbell." I wish that she gets another chance to be a celebrity. I saw that she knows how to act too. She's really good at acting. I pray for her success.
The fact that she wore the shoes Naeun gave her for her birthday to this performance is insane.
I didn't really care for April nor their ex-members but this incident made me more interested in Hyunjoo and I think she's such a sweet girl. Success is the best revenge girl, go get your success while you watch those bitches go down!
She was the prettiest one in the debut of April grup
I love how Hyuna and Taemin always smile when they see Hyunjoo
So, supposedly she's someone who abandoned her group because she's lazy and sickly causing the group's disharmony? But all I can see is a hardworking girl giving it all
So now with the proofs of the medical records showing her attempted suicide, it just made all the statement, claims and excuses by DSP lose all the credibility. The claims made by everyone who's on April's side were implying that she should be blamed, they even justified why she was ostracized. They also dismissed the claims made by her brother about the suffering she went though. The victim blaming is obvious and the fact they denied and took lightly of her attempted suicide is the final nail in the coffin imo. The whole group bullied her to point of attempting suicide and DSP failed to protect and take care of her.
DSP gave reason for her departure as "Want to pursue a career as an actress" but later she auditioned for The Unit as seen here which means her dreams and passion of becoming an idol never stopped. Therefore the official statement about the reason of her departure was untrue in the first place, it was just an excuse made by DSP. She even cried here when Taemin praised her which showed that she went through alot and never expected to receive praises and kind words after what she went through with DSP and April. The tears here showed how much she wanted this and was grateful she was given a 2nd chance. I hope Hyunjoo is doing okay, become stronger and that she'll keep pursuing her dreams.
Ikr, the whole story goes like another chapter of the bully saying "you're just being overly sensitive" to the victim. I bet l the company did tell her that.
actually she didn't even speak up yet but blaming her for anything is ridiculous anyway. This is too serious to blame her. But do you remember the Jimin scandal? People even said, that Mina faked the suicide photos and everything else too. I hope that will not happen here. I only think, that it's not logic to send the brother ahead when she is still in the same company. I guess there is something else going on but I don't know what.
The fact that those members consider her being mentally and physically weak as a reason to make it hard for her to "help her toughen up" like what the fck kind of toxic bs were they trying to feed us.
@@TomsMusicCorner nvm I looked it up I thought it's Twice's Mina and BTS' Jimin
I should see more kpop groups
Taemin is a sweet, empathic and sensitive person. The momenet she cried, he was for a second about to cry
People think that cute concept is easy but not everyone can pull it off. Good job HyunJoo! Continue shining now matter what
The idols in korea are really having tough lives. Already an idol which took her years to attain it. Suddenly, it was taken away from her. And now, she needs to compete again without assurance. That's tough! And they're really tough!
She chose officially acting which her specialty so her health will not worse. I think she join the unit to just experience idol life again
Anyone that makes Taemin blush is a good human being.
I want to see hyunjoo play a drama with Taemin how cute they will be haha
Is it true that she lied or members and dsp media make her a flip flop Im confused?
@James Henry Smith oh sorry but the police already state that the bullying was true I read the article thank u so much.😊
She's an angel!!!
2:18 - 2:21 😂 ... I KNOW TAEMIN SHE'S VERY CUTE. THAT'S HER CHARM ... DON'T GIVE UP GAL!!! 💖
I come back here after hearing that she was bullied :(
Apa krn tau rasanya dibully itu sprti apa jd pas kesini berasa aja liat hyunjoo aura hwaiting nya msh kuat buat meraih mimpinya buktiin k pembully klo dy bisa bersinar☺🎈Aaakk siapa yg naro bawang disini:')
Hyunjoo please practise more and prove people who says you don't deserve it wrong
She's so innocent how come some people bully her especially her former members. They are jealous because of her pretty face and she's more talented than those fake ones.
I feel really sad about her getting bullied but smiling like nothing hapend 😢
This whole video was adorable. I'm so glad she managed to put on a smile and still have her bubbly persona when performing. It warmed my heart to see Taemin and even people in the crowd smile like that
ok but then i started crying when she did-
If taemin said she’s an idol standard, then she is.
true
Yess
Fact
in taemin we trust
Lee Hyun-joo was bullied very seriously in the group. She had panic disorder and difficulty breathing. Eventually, Lee Hyun-joo attempted suicide.Lee Hyun-joo's parents say they cry and feel heartbroken when they think about that time. And the company forced Lee Hyun-joo to lie to get him out of April. And Lee Hyun-joo said she was leaving April because of her acting. In addition, there are many other unfair incidents that Lee Hyun-joo suffered.
