On October 16, QWER member Magenta invited fellow member Chodan to his hometown of Pohang in an episode of a TV show.
During the episode, Magenta shared the places she visited with her parents when she was in high school and introduced Chodan to some of her favorite local restaurants.
While they waited for the food, Chodan asked: “Didn’t you say that a classmate of yours apologized to you after you became famous? Were they the ones who bullied you?”
Magenta replied: “Yes, it happened. He was a student who had been a bystander during the bullying,” adding, “During my school years I suffered some school violence. One time, I was having lunch and someone did something really bad to me.
The exact details of the incident were censored in the video, and Chodan reacted by saying, “It was too much.”
Recalling the situation, Magenta said, “Later, a classmate told me, ‘I liked your music,’ and as they talked, they admitted, ‘I think I was a bystander) to school bullying) during school. I am sorry.’ Another classmate also reached out to me and said, ‘I’m happy to see you’re okay now.'”
Magenta expressed her frustration, saying: “I wasn’t even invited to the meeting. I didn’t even know there was one.”
To this, Chodan quipped, “If you go to the reunion, you will become a big star. They’ll roll out the red carpet, see your designer bag, and feel jealous.
Meanwhile, QWER released their song “My Name is Malguem” on September 23, produced by (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon. The group has since gained considerable popularity, achieving three victories in various music shows.
QWER had previously attracted attention for the fact that most of the members dropped out of school before their debut.
