E u n - b y u l ━━━━ Traitor? Victim? 22? Graduated Team G? Actress? Liar? Bully?
Anyone who knows who GNM48 are knows who Seo Eunbyul is. Whether you know her as the poor maknae who was bullied by her so-called eonnis, or as the girl who killed the Team G's first generation, the question remains: Who was telling the truth?
Known evidence points to Seo Eunbyul. But of course it does, because she spent months planning to make her exit from the group. She didn't like being in the group, she wanted to become an actress, the company disagreed because a group can't be without maknae. And, of course, there were more things, like her lack of lines, the way she seemed to be overshadowed on every variety show they went on, and — really, if we're being honest, doesn't it say something that it was so easy to convince people? In the end, everyone got what they wanted: Eunbyul became an actress, and the others didn't need to work with Eunbyul anymore. As far as she's concerned, she's winning.
JEONG JIYOUNGtwenty-eightgnm48 team gsoloist(view spoiler)[
Well... she doesn't want it to be a secret, but she and the other members were never anything but good to Kim Eunbyul.
(hide spoiler)]
ONCE UPON A TIME, Jeong Jiyoung was a star among idols. The senior who all the roo-kies listed as their inspiration. As the original main vocalist of GNM48's Team C, Jiyoung was widely popular for her powerful voice and sweet visuals. And then the unthinkable happened: her own teammate branded her and the other members of Team C as bullies for her personal gain. She begged the company to defend her, to clear her name, to save her career when she'd done nothing wrong. And they told her not to worry, only for her SNS to be flooded with hate messages and a petition for her to have a "dishonorable gra-duation" from the group. She stopped getting the lovecalls. Fans stopped cheering her n-ame. And even thick-skinned people have a limit, and as she watched her teammates gr-adually give up, she finally made her decision to graduate from the group.
She still has her dignity. Every step of the way, Jiyoung has kept her head held high. After terminating her contract with the agency upon her graduation, she returned to school to finish her degree. She found a small entertainment agency desperate enough to sign with a so-called hopeless case like her. Her solo debut in 2015 was not particularly well recei-ved, but she's managed to build up a decent career again with appearances on singing s-hows and OSTs for popular dramas and movies. It's a work in progress, and it will most li-kely continue to be for a long time, but Jiyoung can take it. If she was going to give up on her dreams, she would've given up a long, long time ago. What's the point of having a vo-ice if you aren't going to use it?
L E EJ A N G M I23Generation 1GNM48 Team MVocal & Lead Dancer
After her debut in 2009, Lee Jangmi spent the next eight years as a low-ranked member of GNM48, not once placing above #30 in the general election. Some people might question why she didn't choose to retire, but the answer is simple: she loves performing. She doesn't need to be the star. She doesn't want to be the star. She just wants to be up there on the stage, singing and dancing, and that's why she became an idol in the first place.
But then her "miracle" happened: After featuring in a drama as the (extremely popular) lead actress' younger self, people suddenly became interested in this GNM48 Lee Jangmi who they'd never heard of before, putting her on the trending search list top 10 for the first time in her career. Her fancam from their latest single went viral among fans, with people commenting why have we not noticed her before, she always ranked low but she's never stopped working hard, her visuals are shining because she loves to be on stage, this is only the beginning for Lee Jangmi. And when the general election came, she placed #12, and life as Jangmi knew it ended.
She should be thankful. And she is — now, people actually know her name, and cheer for her, and she's even gotten some love calls for solo activities. But she's never done this for fame, and now she's lost the freedom that she used to have. She can't eat whatever she wants without seeing a comment of ew, look how fat she's gotten, and she can't go out in public completely freely anymore, and, well, it's a lot harder to hide her relationship with top star Park Chansung of CGD48 fame when people are now trying to track down both of them. Maybe it's because she got too used to the way that things used to be, but this case of career whiplash has left Jangmi reeling as she tries to adjust to her new life while also remembering who she is and why she does this.

CGD48 Generation 1A name is something that holds meaning: 健,
CGD48 Team Cken, healthy, and 児, ji. Child. To his parents
in Ōsaka, Nitta Kenji is a miracle child. Born prematurely with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, his prognosis was grim, and the name bestowed upon him was something like a prayer. And maybe it was answered, bec-ause no one would be able to recognize Nitta Kenji anymore for anything except the int-ernationally recognized dancer of CGD48 fame that he has become.
For any Japanese idol to debut under a group in Korea is brave, and the decision to inclu-de a foreigner in the inaugural lineup of CGD48's Team C was met with more than a little scrutiny, particularly when taking into consideration that a separate, internationally-cent-ered team would also make their debut. The decision wasn't for nothing. Nitta Kenji is c-onsidered by some to be something of a genius when it comes to dancing, and his chore-ographies are still used by GNM48 and CGD48 even after his graduation. At no point al-ong the way was it easy, and there were times when Kenji wished that he hadn't accept-ed the company's proposal and instead debuted as a member of Team 48 with members who looked and talked like him. Whatever hate the more popular members of the group received, he was met with more, and all he could do was just smile through it all, because anything else could — and would — be spun into a controversy. It was his skill in speaking Korean, Mandarin, and English in addition to Japanese which helped boost Team C to the next level of international popularity, and though he was never considered an ace while promoting in Korea, he was met with strong positive responses from other parts of Asia. Perhaps inevitably a day came when Kenji realized that his thoughts were coming first in Korean, though he would swear on his life that such a thing would never happen, and the next day he went to the company offices to request his graduation. He was supposed to come to Korea to represent Japan, not to leave his homeland behind. Though his Korean activities are still managed by 48 Entertainment, and he still spends at least half of the y-ear either in Korea or elsewhere overseas, his heart has finally come home, and the child from Ōsaka finally feels healthy.

When Jaejin was taken to the hospital and the story got out to reporters, the company claimed that it was for "anemia". In reality, it was because Jaejin had too much broth in his lungs after trying to drink soup with a bubble tea straw and aspirating it.
(hide spoiler)]
A lot of people say that Jaejin is only where he is because of his visuals, and while that is mostly true, it's not completely true. Even when he initially started training, he was a competent singer for someone who had never received lessons, and he does work hard so that his singing and dancing is always up to speed. That's not to say that his dancing has actually improved that much, but according to his fans (a very credible source) it's the effort that counts. And does it really matter that much anyway? Jaejin does more than his fair share of bringing interest in CGD48 Team G, especially with his "unique" and "silly" personality on variety. Of course, people also think he's faking it, but, well, let the people think what they think?
The truth is, Kim Jaejin is kind of an idiot. A kind one. One who likes to be helpful and nice and do good things in the world, but an idiot nonetheless. There was a small controversy when Team G was performing in Indonesia and he yelled "MALAYSIA," but we all have our hiccups, and it's not like it was big enough to reach most of the Korean public, anyway. Really, Kim Jaejin is just like any other guy, just doing his best to live his life day by day, putting on his pants one leg at a time like everyone else.

She knows she should graduate. It's the perfect time in her career to do it. But she hates, hates, hates the idea that she can be so easily replaced in the team. Even Kang Heejin, one of the biggest stars to come out of the 48 franchise... is replaceable.
(hide spoiler)]
KANGHEEJINISGNM48'SLEGENDARYGODDESS. After her debut in 2010 as part of GNM48's first generation, Team N's Kang Heejin has not once wavered or fallen in popularity, but rather continued to soar to new heights over the past eight years. To old fans, they feel that th-ey have grown up with GNM48's princess as she matured from an adorable fourteen-year-old to a beautiful woman, and to new fans, she's the face th-ey've seen on television and advertisements for years and brought them to the group. After creating a name for herself as the prettiest girl-next-door you've ever seen and the long-running center of Team G, Heejin announced her transfer to Team N in 2014. While some were concerned that she woul-dn't fare well with a more mature concept, the concept change brought in a new, broader demographic of fans. Girls want to be her, boyfriends wish th-ey were dating her, teammates wish they had her ranking. Anyone who kn-ows anything about GNM48, can see that Heejin has the whole world wra-pped around her finger.
There's nothing else a girl could ever want, right?
