On February 4, the next message has been shared on STELLAR’s Facebook page together with a photo, “We will need oppas help to reveal our marionette.^^ The more likes our page gets, the more you will see of the marionette’s sexy and charming looks. Please also tag oppas who will help us. Enthusiastic response, we can expect it, right? Okay, let’s go.”
