• “It’s vague… four years is a long time. Even male idols struggle during their military hiatus, so for a girl group, four years feels really long.”
• “Wow, if it goes up to the Supreme Court, it could take almost 8–10 years?! In the idol industry, what even is an 8-year hiatus supposed to mean? It’s better to just go back and resume activities quickly…”
• “Their idol career is over.”
• “But honestly, I think I’d still listen to their songs if they released something later.”
• “How did things end up like this…”

The shocking development has left fans waiting anxiously to see how the members and ADOR will move forward from here.
