In a heartwarming mini-reunion that thrilled fans, the iconic Refund Sisters—Uhm Jung Hwa, Lee Hyori, and Hwasa—gathered at singer Kim Jong Min's wedding this week. However, the conspicuous absence of the fourth member, Jessi, has ignited a firestorm of speculation and controversy online.

On April 21st KST, attendees were treated to delightful photos shared via Lee Hyori’s personal channel, showcasing Uhm Jung Hwa, Lee Hyori, and Hwasa joyfully posing together, arms intertwined and smiles bright. This nostalgic gathering brought back fond memories of their time as part of the hit 2020 project group Refund Sisters, formed on MBC’s ‘Hangout with Yoo’.

Yet, as fans celebrated the trio's reunion, they couldn’t help but notice Jessi’s absence. This sparked rampant online theories about potential rifts within the group, with some suggesting 'cut ties' and strained friendships. Jessi has been staying low-key since her involvement in a controversy last September, tied to an incident that led to her being questioned by police, even though she was not directly implicated.

While the internet speculated about internal conflict, others voiced their disappointment, asserting that the joyous occasion should not be overshadowed by baseless narratives of discord. Many fans suggested that Jessi's choice not to attend could simply stem from personal issues or media scrutiny, rather than a feud with her fellow members.

The Refund Sisters may have been a short-lived musical phenomenon, but their impact was monumental. Their empowering anthem “DON’T TOUCH ME” soared to the top of charts, with Yoo Jae Suk as their fictional producer and Kim Jong Min as their endearing manager, creating a magic that fans still cherish.
