Namoo Actors announced on Jun 2nd that it has signed an exclusive contract with Lee Na-eun. Namoo Actors is a large entertainment that includes actors such as Koo Kyo-hwan, Kim Hyo-jin, Park Eun-bin, Park Joong-hoon, Song Kang, Yoo Joon-sang, Lee Yoon-ji, Lee Joon-ki, and Hong Eun-hee, which is why many are expecting Lee Na-eun’s full-fledged acting activities.
Earlier, girl group APRIL, to which Lee Na-eun belongs, was embroiled in a controversy over bullying after former member Lee Hyun-joo claimed that she was bullied in the team. As a result, APRIL disbanded after a long hiatus, and Lee Na-eun also withdrew from the SBS drama “Model Taxi.”
Since then, all April members, including Lee Na-eun, had temporarily suspended their entertainment activities.
Girl group April of DSP Media, a large agency that debuted Fin.K.L., Sechskies, and KARA, debuted in 2015 but did not receive as much attention as expected, but in 2018, Na-eun appeared in the web drama “A-TEEN” and became a teen’s wannabe icon, raising both the team and her individual public recognition.
Since then, Lee Na-eun has appeared in various dramas and entertainment shows as a rising trend. She was one of the next-generation actresses whose performance is highly expected of since then, as she was recognized for her potential as a lead role in MBC’s “Extraordinary You.”
The bullying controversy in her team, which erupted as Lee Na-eun was receiving recognition as an actress, came as a great disappointment. The ongoing battle of truth ended in APRIL’s disbandment. However, as the bullying controversy has not been clearly settled, alongside the negative opinions, many also predicted Lee Na-eun’s return.
Attention is focusing on whether Lee Na-eun will be able to erase the negative image of her team’s bully controversy and take a leap forward as an actress after her team has disbanded and the battle for truth is meaningless.
