Ichin, a member of rookie girl group A2O LITE (Ei-to-O Light), has drawn attention for her behavior during a group photo session. After receiving significant attention for various issues immediately following her debut, focus is now turning even to small actions during the photo time.

On the 22nd, videos showing Ichin adjusting positions with another member during a group photo session spread across online communities and social media (SNS).

The video was filmed during the morning commute photo time for the radio show “Noon Hope Curve Kim Shin-young” held at the MBC headquarters in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 21st.

The video captured members standing side by side on a staircase striking group poses toward the press. Ichin, who was positioned lower on the stairs, moved up onto the steps while posing, getting so close to member Ah-yoon that their bodies overlapped. As a result, Ah-yoon’s figure was partially obscured. Afterwards, Ichin moved back down to the lower part of the staircase to pose.

In response, some netizens raised suspicions that Ichin had pushed out another member to secure a front-row position.

On the other hand, reactions also emerged stating that it is difficult to definitively judge the intent of the behavior based solely on a short video, and that it may have been a simple position adjustment during the process of aligning poses at the scene.

Previously, Ichin had also drawn attention for a wage arrears controversy involving her parents. On the 14th, Ichin’s mother posted a statement on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, apologizing for the wage arrears issue at a business she had operated. However, she emphasized that the matter was one her parents should take responsibility for and was unrelated to her daughter.

Ichin, born in 2013, is a member of A2O LITE, a nine-member multinational girl group that debuted on the 13th. In particular, she gained attention for her appearance resembling singer BoA and her dance skills.

A2O LITE drew attention by reaching number one on Melon’s TOP 100 at 11 p.m. on the 14th, just 29 hours after the release of their debut song “Neon (NEON).” As the group has been in the spotlight for both musical achievements and various issues since the early stages of their debut, interest surrounding Ichin continues.
