Rami is not included in the BABYMONSTER comeback poster
Almost a month ago, BABYMONSTER's agency issued a public statement about how one of the members, Rami, will be unable to join her fellow members for the group's world tour due to health issues.
The group's new song 'Hot Sauce' is all set for release on July 1; however, no new statement has been provided about Rami's involvement. Fans of the group pointed out online that the last update they received about the idol was more than a month ago and that the company had only provided an update about her not being a part of the world tour till the end of June.
Netizens react to the matter
Many fans of the girl group took to online social media platforms to share their disdain over the matter. Many criticised the group's management agency, citing that they failed to share updates about Rami's health and, with no prior notice, shared the comeback announcement with only six members.
One commented that 'On a serious note, YG didn't even care to post a statement about Rami's hiatus from the group. The last update we got about her was more than a month ago, which was too long ago to talk about her being absent from the world tour.
Just dropping the poster like she doesn't even matter? I'm so disappointed.'
Another fan expressed their surprise by commenting on the group's post that 'WHAT?!? RAMI IS NOT IN THIS ERA?!?? I thought she would not participate in the Asia leg of the tour only?!??'
The management agency was also criticised for managing all of their artists poorly, with no announcement being shared about BLACKPINK's comeback or upcoming tour.

ENHYPEN's Niki faces backlash for allegedly forcing deep voice in live performance
K-pop group ENHYPEN's member Niki is known for his deep vocals. However, his voice now seems to have taken on an even deeper and raspier quality. While he remains well-loved by fans, the Japanese singer is currently facing scrutiny for allegedly forcing a lower tone. Trolls have claimed that he deliberately altered his vocal range to resemble that of Stray Kids' Felix. advertisement The controversy began after the group appeared in the latest episode of 'Killing Voice'. In the clip, fans noticed that Niki's voice sounded even raspier and deeper than usual. Some international viewers went as far as accusing him of faking his pitch. Trolls argued that it didn't sound like Niki's natural voice. Some called his live singing 'horrible,' while others made comments like, 'Ni-ki, you will never be Felix. (sic)' (Photo Credit: X/IHurdlWasCancel / X/DropKpop) Stray Kids' member Felix is widely known for having one of the deepest voices in the K-pop industry. Fans of the K-pop idol have defended him, explaining that the change in his voice is due to natural puberty and years of vocal training. They also noted that the clips being compared to his 2025 version of Drunk-Dazed were from 2020, when Niki was only 15. advertisement Supporters pointed out that it's normal for vocal tone and pitch to evolve as someone matures from adolescence into adulthood. They slammed critics for trying to 'cancel' Niki over something he isn't guilty of, calling the accusations 'wild.' (Photo Credit: X/8_8Yuki8_8) The incident highlighted the unwavering support and loyalty of the Japanese artist's dedicated fanbase, who are always ready to stand by him.
