Though the idol has yet to be seen, she let her fans know she’s still with them and appreciates their love by apparently sending handmade soaps to K-nevies who attended his event at a cafe. Soaps that came from a cryptic sender named “1849” are said to have been sent through Soojin’s acquaintances.
The idol even left a note for her fans like:
“Remember to eat on time.”
