Former DIA Eunjin Claims Her Time in the Group ‘Damaged’ Her
Former DIA member Eunjin is now active as an AfreecaTV BJ (also known as broadcast jockey). During one of her live streams, she claimed her time as a member of the group had "damaged" her. Keep on reading to learn more.
On Monday, Jan. 11, Eunjin hosted a Livestream on Afreeca TV titled "The Talking Broadcast of Idol DIA Eunjin." As she took the time to catch up with fans and get them up to date with her current life, one viewer left a comment that read, "DIA has been damaged because of you."
Eunjin quickly snapped back at the viewer, replying, "What kind of damage did DIA suffer? I was the one who ended up damaged." When asked if she was still in contact with her DIA members, she responded coldly, saying that she never contacted them since she left the group.
She had something positive to say about her former company's CEO, however. She revealed that the company staff had told the CEO that they should collect the money Eunjin owned from her trainee debts, but the CEO chose not to do so. In the end, Eunjin was able to leave the company and DIA without paying her trainee debts and without paying the fee to cancel her exclusive contract.
Following Eunjin's live-stream, DIA ended up appearing on the rankings of the real-time search keywords, with people searching up the group and Eunjin. She commented that she was able to make DIA trend on the search engines despite no longer being a member. When viewers continued to send her comments concerning the damage she is causing DIA, she asked, "Is this really hurting them? No, right?"
During the live stream, viewers continued to ask more questions about DIA. One viewer had asked if DIA had ever had plans to appear on the MBC show "Radio Star." Eunjin revealed that appearing on the show would not have done them anything and would not have boosted their popularity because they are not funny. "Radio Star" is a show that relies on wit rather than performance, so it would not have benefited them. She also says that "Radio Star" would not have wanted them, but they also were not trying to appear on the show.
Eunjin also revealed that she thought their appearance on JTBC's "Knowing Bros" was a total failure. She revealed that when people search for "Knowing Bros DIA," the related search term "No fun" also appears. Eunjin revealed she never watched their appearance on the show at all.
Eunjin's constant mention of DIA on her live stream became a hot topic on various online community forums, with many people slamming her for her careless words and for possibly harming DIA's reputation. As a result, Eunjin shared a long letter to her AfreecaTV bulletin board.
Her post reads:
"After I left the group, many fans became anti-fans and attacked me with harmful comments that should not be said, accusing me of damaging the group. But at that time, I had to leave the group because of my health, and it was an unavoidable situation. I did not leave DIA because I wanted to. I had my own problems that I was dealing with and it was a very difficult time for me. I abandoned my lifelong dream of becoming a singer. In that sense, yes, I believe I did suffer. But I am not content seeing people making up lies concerning things I said and using that to attack me. My life is mine. Whatever I chose to do in whatever situation, it is my life so please just mind your own business.
I would appreciate it if you paid more attention to your own life from now on. Even if I say DIA's name in my live streams, that is none of your business. If you do not want to watch it, that is your problem. But if you really cannot stand it that much, fine, I will no longer talk about DIA, so please f*ck off."
