    Ep 1 | Beaunite: Cyberbullying, dreams, becoming my inspiration

    On 5 Dec 2017, i picked up my phone to see the internet abuzz about a Singaporean kpop group called ‘beaunite’. These girls uploaded a debut video onto Youtube and became an overnight viral sensation…. but not in a good way. They were being called cringey, ugly, and told to stop doing whatever they were doing. All this before they even performed anything for the public. Since then, the girls kept a low profile and we haven’t heard of since. But, I managed to sit down with 2 ex-members of Beaunite (Renee,15 and Minghui,19) to find out how they’re doing. Where are they now, 2 years on?! I hope that this will shed new light on bullying/cyberbullying and help us towards becoming better humans
