Did Youngseo ditch ILLIT for YG Entertainment's new girl group? Fans spot major hints
YG Entertainment is set to debut a new four-member girl group, two years after BABYMONSTER. On May 25, Yang Hyun Suk, founder and executive producer of YG Entertainment, shared the company's upcoming plans for its artists, including the announcement of a new girl group. Its first member will be revealed tonight (May 27) at 12 AM KST. Ahead of that, fans speculated one of the members to be Youngseo, due to her recent sightings. Who is Youngseo? Youngseo was a member of the final debut lineup of ILLIT. She was supposed to debut along with Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha, but opted out last-minute. As Youngseo was second-placed in R U Next?, the survival show that created ILIIT, fans were disappointed with her sudden contract termination with BELIFT Lab. Moreover, the non-disclosure of the reason for her not debuting with the other ILLIT members further fueled fan dissatisfaction. Why do fans think Youngseo is going to debut in YG Entertainment's new girl group? Fans have been buzzing with speculation after spotting Youngseo near YG Entertainment 's headquarters multiple times since her ILLIT exit. Rumors even circulated that she joined The Black Label, YG's subsidiary, although she wasn't part of their latest girl group, MEOVV. However, sightings of her with other female YG trainees added fuel to the fire. It sparked intense speculation that she might be one of the four girl group members that will be formed through project YG NEXT MONSTER. Notably, a dance video filmed by two people in front of the YG building accidentally captured some trainees in the background, and eagle-eyed fans claimed to have spotted Youngseo among them, further intensifying the speculation. Youngseo's dedicated fans have kept a close eye on her life after her departure from ILLIT. They are now buzzing with excitement on social media, speculating about her potential K-pop debut and sharing their hopes for her future. Given her standout singing and dancing skills showcased on R U Next?, fans believe the K-pop industry would be missing out on a hidden gem if Youngseo doesn't get her chance to debut.

Rare Allergy Triggered by K-Pop Dancing and Crab Consumption
A 30-year-old man presented to the hospital with acute shortness of breath and generalised urticaria. He had no known preexisting conditions or allergies. The patient reported that his symptoms began shortly after eating crabs and engaging in vigorous physical activity while dancing to K-pop. Further investigation revealed that he danced to fast-paced songs. The case reported by Tianci Tang, of the School of Public Health, Zhejiang Chinese Medicine University, Hangzhou, China, and colleagues highlighted a rare medical condition. The Patient and His History The patient reported acute shortness of breath and generalised urticaria that had started 2 hours before admission. Four hours earlier, he had eaten crab and danced. After 2 hours of dancing, a large wheal appeared on the patient's chest. Shortly thereafter, he experienced redness and swelling of the neck, followed by breathing difficulties. The patient denied any history of allergies. His medical, medication, family, social, drug, and travel histories were unremarkable. Upon further questioning, the patient revealed that he had been dancing to the K-pop and BABYMONSTER's 'Batter Up,' indicating that the exercise had been intense and involved significant physical exertion. Findings and Diagnosis On admission, the patient's oxygen saturation in room air was 98%, and his heart rate was 112 beats/min. His respiratory rate, body temperature, and blood pressure were within normal limits. The patient was alert and fully oriented. Examination revealed pharyngeal redness and congestion, involuntary trembling, regular abdominal softness, no pressure pain, and swelling in both lower limbs. Auscultation and percussion findings were unremarkable. Shortly after admission, the patient developed an uncontrollable, violent cough, followed by vomiting. He was treated with 40 mg methylprednisolone sodium succinate in a physiologic salt 100 mg intravenous drip and 1 g vitamin C in a 500 mL intravenous drip of glucose. Laboratory tests revealed normal cardiac, liver, and renal function. On the basis of the World Health Organization criteria for allergic reactions, the patient was diagnosed with an exercise-induced food allergy. During the night of admission, the patient's serum creatine kinase concentration rose to over 6000 IU/L. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis after undergoing renal function tests. However, the patient's vital signs remained stable. The treatment included adjusted medication doses, four bags of sodium chloride injection (500 mL/bag size) for hydration, and sodium bicarbonate injection. After treatment, the patient's skin symptoms temporarily improved. However, 3 hours later, a skin cyclone reappeared at the end of the toes and glans penis; therefore, a single intravenous injection of furosemide (2 mL, 20 mg) was administered. The patient's allergic symptoms resolved completely 6-7 hours after admission. Discussion 'Allergy combined with rhabdomyolysis is a multifactorial disease; to our knowledge, no prior reports exist of allergy as a direct cause of rhabdomyolysis. The patient in our case recovered completely after anti-allergy treatment, urine alkalinisation, and hydration,' the authors concluded. However, diverse symptoms remain rare and are challenging to manage. The prevalence of exercise-induced food allergies in Germany is approximately 0.02%. Reliable data on the frequency of concurrent rhabdomyolysis are unavailable.
