I think the main reason was that Komi wanted a way of keeping in touch with her fans during the closure of the Theater and she chose to make the Komibook. Hopefully she's also dropping a big hint to management that she should have a PB of her own. And while I'm here, here's her virtual HS video: if the video does not show watch the video here
There’s so much going on despite the situation going on, especially bc Komi is home she has more time to be on showroom and do lives, yet I can’t watch bc of timezones LARME magazine was doing this thing for a new issue, with fans putting in the names of different models, and Komiharu asked fans to put her name in as she’s wanted to participate in LARME https://twitter.com/912_komiharu/status/1269137266066067456?s=21 It’s also been 7 years since debut, how time passes https://twitter.com/912_komiharu/status/1268742345819738113?s=21 Plus she cut her hair and it’s so cute

Aaah I cried T_T I wish I could translate it... you would understand why she decided to participate in this audition...
Link to komi's Live page. It's a lot like instalive (with gifts). https://linliv.ee/Y7BbKRJ/co/ot/sh/ce Graduated team 8 Kita Reina is also auditioning. http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?posts/1675669 Line live is not available on US app store (Android). Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
LINE LIVE is not available on Spain app store, but I downloaded the apk and I could create an account without problems!! Btw, Komiharu put on Twitter the honest feelings she wrote on her mobame!! I did a rough translation. Please read it!! I hope with this translation you can understand why she decided to participate in LARME Audition https://twitter.com/TiduAura/status/1282709954890276864
She also wrote in her mail how to use LIVE LINE.

Make comments, take photos, share, etc. Thank you for the translation!
I'm honestly surprised that Komi doesn't get modeling jobs. She is definitely beautiful. If this is what she wants to do then why doesn't AKS do anything?
It may be her height. I found a reference that said: "Many Japanese fashion models, such as Yu Yamada or Yui Ebihara are around 5 foot seven [170 cm]." This matches Koki, who is 170cm.
Sure, her height can be a problem for runway modeling. But I was talking about print modeling, such as appearing in fashion magazines.
If you look at the post that @TiduShoko translated, at the bottom of the first image, it also says "I was told by many of my fan friends that 'Komi-chan is too short to be a model,' and I was also hurt by a lot of of thoughtless words like, 'You can't be a model if you aren't cute.'" Those kind of words took away her confidence to even try out as a model, meaning she didn't audition for anything. This time around, when she started mentioning about possibly participating in the LARME auditions, her fans encouraged her to give it a try so she overcame her confidence issues and gave it a try. She's also used instagram as a means of pushing herself a bit more as a model. EDIT: She's only right now !
