According to online communities, a netizen shared a photo on social media featuring Hanni's autograph, claiming, "I unexpectedly met Hanni in Ushuaia, Argentina," and added, "Hanni looked very happy." Ushuaia is the southernmost city in Argentina and one of the closest regions to Antarctica.
Prior to this, Danielle was speculated to be the member heading to Antarctica. Known for her love of marathons alongside singer Sean and actor Park Bo-gum, Danielle is rumored to be participating in the 'Antarctic Ice Marathon' this December.
The 'Antarctic Ice Marathon' is the southernmost marathon in the world, held in the Union Glacier area of Antarctica, and is listed in the Guinness World Records. Due to its harsh cold, strong winds, and unpredictable weather, it is considered an 'extreme challenge' even for marathon enthusiasts.
The speculation among fans about the Antarctic-bound member arose from a statement released by Minji, Hanni, and Danielle on the 12th. The three members announced their return to ADOR through a law firm rather than directly through ADOR.
In their statement, they said, "After careful consideration, we decided to return to ADOR," and added, "One member is currently in Antarctica, which delayed the announcement, and due to ADOR's lack of response, we had to make a separate statement." ADOR responded to the members' announcement by stating, "We are verifying the facts," and added, "We are coordinating individual interviews with the members and will do our best to ensure smooth discussions."
