While the girl group did well in their releases, they were known for having sexy concepts in their comebacks, to which many in the community deemed as controversial.

On February 25, 2018, Stellar held a fanmeeting in Seoul. The members present on the event were Minhee, Hyoeun, Soyoung, Yeongheun, Gayoung, and Jeonyul.

That day was an emotional one for both fandom Twinkles and Stellar, as the latter announced their decision not to renew their exclusive contracts, leading to their disbandment.

After disbanding, Jeonyul officially made her solo debut with "MAMACITA" in September 12, 2020. This was followed by her first EP "I Like It" in January 5, 2022, with "Like It" and "Dangerous" as title tracks.

 

 

 

She would later on appear in an episode of "Relay Olympics" on August 29. There, Jeonyul shared that in 2014, Stellar became controversial for the song "Marionette." This was because the comeback contained "overly sexualized" choreography and outfits that were too sexy.

 

Moreover, several suggestive scenes were included, such as drinking milk while it flows to their chests and taking off their shower gowns.

Jeonyul stated:

"At that time, I was really young and didn't know anything, so thinking that it was erotic was something I could never do."

Question: "What has Youri been up to?"
