Rookie idol Denise of the freshest girl group, Secret Number, is currently rumored to have been under fire after followers noticed that her account is deactivated after sharing her stand on the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
In light of celebrities supporting the claim on race equality, Denise, who recently debuted as one of the members of Secret Number, also shared on her Instagram that she supports the movement. However, after the stories were posted, her SNS suddenly closed down, and rumor has it that her label, Vines Entertainment, expelled her.
According to her Instagram story, "I understand that I will never understand. However, I stand."
This includes a photo of two hands of different skin colors, entwined. She also wrote another story in Korean with a picture of George Floyd. However, in less than an hour, her page deactivated, and fans noticed that her last selfie on the group's official Instagram had been deleted.

Fans who noticed this were inflamed against the agency, alleging that she was prohibited from speaking out on such social issues, which they believe is her right as a human being. It's also noted that Denise is from Texas, who knows how it is living there and being Asian.
"Vine Ent. wants to market secret number as an international group, but when one of their American members speaks up about the racial injustice happening in her country, she gets silenced. This is disgusting, and we will not forget this, vine entertainment! Thank you, Denise," tweeted one fan.

"Denise is lowkey secret number's ace, and she's their power vocal and one of their best dancers, so they're really about to f**k it up for everyone if they get rid of her," said a netizen.
"As if deleting her insta and her lastest selca wasn't enough, her company decided to not include Denise in secret number's most recent video. You have to be kidding me," wrote another.
Secret Number debuted just last May 19 with their carrier single, "Who Dis?" The girl group is composed of five members who were set to be launched earlier this year, yet, due to the current pandemic, their debut was postponed.
Denise is the main vocal and the maknae of the group. She used to be a YG Entertainment trainee but left after two years. She was born in Texas, making her abreast of the BLM as she is one of the migrants who know how racial prejudice occurs in the said country.
