S.E.S. Member Bada Discusses Group's Reunion and Addresses Rumors About Shoo

Bada, a member of the iconic K-pop group S.E.S., recently shared her thoughts on a potential group reunion and addressed past rumors involving fellow member Shoo.

On the October 20th episode of Channel A's 'Best Friends Documentary: Four-Person Dining Table,' Bada was joined by her close friends Eugene, Brian, and host Park Kyung-lim.

During the show, Bada and Eugene reminisced about their first impressions of each other. Eugene recalled, "When I first saw Bada, she was wearing a shortened version of her Anyang High School uniform. I thought she might be a bit of a rebel. Shoo had curly hair and red lipstick, which made me think she was the real rebel. They were both so beautiful."

Bada added, "I thought I would be the center, but Lee Soo-man told me I was the lead vocal leader. When I saw Eugene, I realized I wasn't the center. I assumed she might have a bad personality because she was so pretty, but that wasn't the case."

She continued, "Shoo was very feminine and had a gentle personality. She did whatever the older members wanted."

When asked about a full S.E.S. reunion for their upcoming 30th anniversary, Bada stated, "There are no immediate plans. We're waiting for Shoo to feel comfortable. The fans and everyone else are waiting for the right time when everything feels natural."

Shoo, who married basketball player Lim Hyo-sung in 2010 and has one son and two daughters, faced legal issues for habitual gambling overseas between August 2016 and May 2018, amounting to approximately 790 million won. In February 2019, she was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for two years, and 80 hours of community service.

Previously, Bada was involved in rumors of discord with Shoo. After Shoo appeared on an internet broadcast in revealing clothing post-reflection, Bada criticized her actions. During a live broadcast, Bada expressed, "I have something to say because I truly care. I feel a bit distant from Shoo, but I hope she returns before it's too late. I believe in you."

Bada also mentioned S.E.S. on her social media, tagging only Eugene's account, which led to some fans expressing disappointment. Bada responded, "A true friend sometimes lets the other person have their way. Please understand that this is something Shoo doesn't want."
