Former Fiestar member Cheska recently held a live stream on her Twitch channel, where she answered fan questions about her time in the K-Pop industry, revealing previously unknown industry secrets, details about the team dynamic within her own group, her experience with sexual abuse, her personal mental health, and much more. She mentioned why she wanted to talk about her personal experience of being in the industry.“I’m not talking about K-Pop because of the fame. I’m talking about it because I feel like it’s helping me fight my fear, fight my depression, anxiety, everything that I got from being in the industry. My experience as a K-Pop idol, kind of fucked with me.” - Cheska.
Cheska mentioned that she was bullied by both Yezi and Jei. A fan mentioned that they would also get into fights with their friends, but they would make up after the fight, and Cheska agreed to that mentality, but the other Fiestar members did not.“We would fight for like, the stupidest reasons, like, uh, from misunderstanding each other. So I’d always be the one who would go up to them and be like ‘I think we misunderstood each other, I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. They would never say sorry to me. I would always be like I’m sorry for this, and they’d be like ‘ok’. Like they wouldn’t talk to me at all.And then I’d be like, I feel like we should talk more, I feel like we should communicate more, cause for me, I feel like communicating is like, the number one solution to problems, so I’d be like I think we should communicate and the person would be like no. I don’t want to talk to you’. That’s what they’d be like, we have nothing to talk about, I have nothing to talk about with you, and I’m over here like ‘what, we have so much to talk about cause we misunderstood each other.” - Cheska.
Regarding fellow member Linzy, Cheska mentioned she was nice, but was also a victim of bullying.“Linzy is pretty. Linzy was nice, but she also got bullied a few times, like I have. Everyone got bullied once or twice, except for Yezi and Jei.” - Cheska.She also talked about Cao Lu, and prefaced that while she is two-faced, she is also smart.“Cao Lu also got bullied too. Even though I said she was a two-faced bitch, she didn’t do anything wrong, she’s just a two-faced bitch, like I said on my other live. Everyone got bullied in this group, except Yezi and Jei. Basically, Yezi was the [real] leader, who was hiding behind Jei, who was actually the leader [on paper]. We were getting controlled by the maknae, basically. Everything was messed up.I’m not gonna lie, Cao Lu is pretty smart. Her family is pretty rich, from what I know, but she isn’t. She’s from a wealthy family. She hit #1 in China as a solo artist. To be honest, I don’t know why she came to Korea to restart as an artist. If it was SM, JYP, YG, I’d understand why, but LOEN? But, she’s smart. Maybe that’s why, where the two-faced thing comes in. She knows how everything works. She knows how to treat the elders with respect.” - Cheska.Later on, she also talked about how she didn’t like much of the idea of Fiestar as a whole.“I just don’t like Fiestar’s song, I didn’t like the concepts either. But the most, I didn’t like how I was being treated, from the company and the members.” - Cheska.
