Meanwhile, EunB used to be an FNC Entertainment trainee and trained along with AOA members. She even almost debuted with AOA but she thought she wasn’t ready and left FNC. It seemed like they still connected and maintained their relationship even though she left FNC. Chanmi and Mina, two of AOA’s members celebrated EunB’s anniversary in 2015 and said that she was originally part of AOA’s line-up. She then joined Polaris Entertainment and was first introduced to the public when Ladies Code debuted. “EunB was an original member of AOA and was with the members nearly till debut. However, she decided that she was lacking for debut and left the team. She was a trainee in a different company for a while and debuted as a member of Ladies Code. They stayed close even after they debuted in different teams. EunB-ya, Happy birthday ♡,” wrote Mina in the caption. “This picture is of LADIES’ CODE’s EunB unnie, not me. Today is her birthday and she is in heaven. I miss her..” wrote Chanmi.
