On the 16th, MOMOLAND's JooE explained her side of the controversy over an allegedly copied handwritten letter.

JooE shared a captured conversation with a fan on her social media, where she was asked if she simply copied the letter, to which JooE replied that "the six of us discussed and wrote the letter together as they all had the same meaning and depth of what we wanted to say to the fans, and that we were grateful for those who took the time to read the long letter."

Previously, their agency MLD Entertainment announced the group's disbandment, stating that "MOMOLAND members Hyebin, Jane, Nayun, JooE, Ahin, and Nancy have respectfully agreed to end their exclusive contract after lengthy discussion and respecting each other's opinions."

All six members also shared a handwritten letter expressing their feelings about the group's disbandment.

However, some fans pointed out that the content of the six letters was almost identical, leading to accusations of a lack of sincerity.

Many online users commented negatively, suggesting that the letters looked copied or like handwriting practice.

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
