MIDZYs! While playing games with MIDZY these days, there were some times when some fans were getting hurt or misunderstood. I should have thought about that more deeply, and I’m sorry. Since all MIDZYs are equally precious to me, I will no longer play games with MIDZY. I had a lot of fun playing together, and it relieved my stress during my spare time, so thank you. Let’s continue to make good memories together!

the company (& toxic fans) never let the girls do anything & everyone, especially the members, suffer bc of it. some of you are never satisfied with anything & dedicate yourselves to spreading misery. find something else to fulfill you if you aren't happy & leave them alone. https://t.co/JWXZv6ItmM

That online game Yeji has been playing is like her safe space, and the fact that she allowed MIDZYs to enter that space should make them grateful, but some greedy and entitled fans have ruined that safe space 🫤 https://t.co/f74VJcc7oW
