didn't she just graduate middle school (which is compulsory education there)? She will on her second year of high school in next season of Produce (if it will be one). It'll be more convenient to move country during education level change than mid-way. There was a rumor 3 48 girls had signed/were signing to Korean agencies and 1 of them signed to the agency Lee Seunggi (Produce 48 host) was under (Hook Entertainment). Peoples guessed that girl was Miyu but turned out Miyu signed to Mystic. I remember, shortly after Produce 48 ended, in a Showroom video, her mother scolded her to study Korean. It was rumored she was scouted by JYP but there was no followed up info on her K-pop rumor. Some weeks later, she was announced joining Korean military training special of Nemousu thus, I questioned if she studied Korean for this. I wonder if she will be OK with K-pop training, if her parents will be OK she leaving AKB for uncertain risky K-pop trainee contract. A reason why most foreign K-pop idols are from rich families is the parent are carefree about their children choice of career as they have the fortune to support their children for lives anyway. Yet, it's said tuition fee of inter schools were freaking expensive. But, in that project, the members will be selected through a survival show and, the application to the show will be opened in Japan in May. There is no reason for her to come to Korea just now. And, yes, they will keep taking lessons after debut but not in the way you understand. Post-debut lessons will go behind the scene. What the agency will show us is the pre-debut lessons. If I understand correctly, in October, it will be a show showing the process cutting down applicants to 20 persons. These 20 persons will go to Korea and get trained. Next year, it will be another show showing these 20 persons being trained in Korea and get cut down to final line-up of the group. The group will debut in November next year. Seemingly, there is a rumor she signed with Starship (the agency Wonyoung and Yujin of IZ*One belong to).

This was when Erii was returning to Japan. She was mobbed by Korean photographers. She looks so embarrassed lol if the video does not show watch the video here
Kinda sucks when you're so famous that paparazzi are swarming you but not famous enough to not use some economy class scheduled flight.
