The HKT48 member was only expressing her excitement in having her fellow HKT48 members Miyawaki Sakura and Yabuki Nako back into the group. Her tweet, however, was met with intense backlash from IZ*ONE fans who have been heartbroken from the disbandment news.

Prior to becoming members of IZ*ONE, Sakura and Nako were members of the Japanese girl group HKT48. After placing in the final line-up for IZ*ONE, the two went on a temporary hiatus to promote as IZ*ONE members in Korea. With the group’s disbandment news, it’s been assumed that the two girls would go back into their rotation as HKT48 members.

Following the backlash, Miku shared an update expressing her love for IZ*ONE.
