(G)I-DLE’s upcoming album cover is getting notice for an alleged reference to former member Soojin.

The Cube Entertainment girl group are set to make a comeback with their 5th mini album ‘I Love’, and with it, 3 different versions of the album cover have been released. The front cover of the ‘X-File’ version of the album is now attracting netizen attention due to its alleged reference to Soojin, who left the group after a school bullying controversy.

The album cover features the current members names, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua, as well as a mysterious “ban” or “cancel” mark, which netizens are saying is a place marker for Soojin’s name. Netizens commented, “Did they leave Soojin’s place empty,” “I think it’s a secret reference to her,” “Let’s see because we don’t know what it means yet,” and more.
