i will never forget when i heard numnum, thought "oh this is a great song let me check out the group," then literally the next day 3/4 members left 😭

my case exactly 💀

[@wjsntopia]

i was such a big daydream fan since debut it was so heartbreaking to witness what happened in real time. the girls deserve so much better. they loved their fans and interacted with us a lot. i only wish the best for my girls, im glad they got out of that company who seems like they never really cared for the girls.

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Reminds me of MLD not allowing them to wear safety shorts

[@peachxtaehyung]

Yes that's what I thought of too

[@Satbyeolmusicvevo]

their debut was so cute and amazing but im happy xindy found some success and makes amazing music

[@searchingforelris]

Yes, Mermaid is incredible! I hope she gets to release more songs, she's freaking talented!

Another frustrating story from the world of super-small low-budget kpop companies... Here's some extra information about the groups under Liz Ent & possible issues, if anyone's interested: The company currently has 4 girl groups ➡ Chic Angel - Debuted in 2017. One of the few no-budget groups to have survived for a few years, moving around different companies and channels before reaching Liz Ent. They're still active as a 3 member group (2 are original members) but haven't had a single of their own since early 2019, only releasing music as part of one of Liz Ent's 'combo-groups' Chic & Idle / Chic & I's..... I swear small companies refuse to have consistent branding! ➡ ICU - Have released 2 singles which got moderate attention. One member took part in Chic & I's new single. ➡ ZeroSix - It seems Xindy is the only person active on ZeroSix's youtube channel since 5 months ago when a different member posted a vlog. ➡ Girls World - Yet another new group debuting. But instead of actually debuting they released a single as part of a collab, mixing with some members of ICU... but not all of them. Confusing inconsistent branding, as always. But they're clearly making an effort with the video quality. Possible issues ➡ The logo and branding for Girls World oddly seems very similar to the logo for the abandoned group Daydream from this video... a coincidence? I haven't checked the members, but may be worth looking into. ➡ It seems like an odd move to debut another new girl group just at the same time ZeroSix was supposed to debut. ZeroSix had months worth of pre-debut content, but Girls World was never mentioned until the teaser for their collab MV dropped. Perhaps the group was put together hastily to cover for ZeroSix members leaving? I find it so frustrating that small companies put all their resources into debuting multiple groups instead of giving comebacks to the groups they already have... ➡ Around the the same time ZeroSix members left, a brand new Liz Ent youtube channel was created (also called Liz Ent) and the old one was abandoned without any explanation! I have no idea why they did this. There are now two Liz Ent channels. ➡ In the latest Chic & I's MV, the ICU member A-bin is the only one wearing a bikini, and there is an extended close-up shot of her chest. I'm not saying it's wrong to wear a bikini, but the way this was filmed seemed exploitative like a 'male gaze' angle, and in the video where she reacted to the MV she seemed notably uncomfortable when that shot came up. It's difficult to know how to comment about that appropriately, because it could easily sound like I'm shaming her for wearing a bikini - and perhaps she happily chose to do that, and perhaps she was totally happy to be filmed in that way! But... it makes me go "hmm" because of everything we know about this industry. ➡ Overall Liz Ent does seem to put effort into promoting their groups, even though I get so frustrated with constant name changes, channel changes and collab singles. I personally wish companies understood the power of clear, consistent branding and regular comebacks for building a fanbase. So from this, I can't conclude anything really. I'm just noting a few things which may be worth keeping an eye on, since I was catching up on Liz Ent's artists recently. Thanks for your work with this video!

This is so upsetting, poor girls deserved so much better than the company they got

[@strwbrysodaa]

its really hard to fully articulate just how messy the situation actually was like its truly one of those things that you just had to be there for. anyways amazing video! im so glad i got to help with it in some way it really turned out great!!

[@precious8129]

I don't know if you have seen the news ,but can you do a video on LPA Entertainment (Holics,Dustin,AngelRus). They have recently been exposed for forcing their trainees to send underwear photos to them.

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Oh yeah poor Dustin they were the boygroup that tried to be like NCT but it failed

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

I can’t imagine what they had to go through that’s terrible ❤️

[@mai3078]

What a sad story of these girls, unfortunately it's something that usually happens😔, I would like you to make a video about the girl group SATURDAY! please

[@MartianCandies]

I remember this!!! I remember all the gross fancams of sarang angled upwards, and she wasnt wearing safety shorts...so so many disgusting comments about them in the comment section, it was heartbreaking!!

[@newjeansfan238]

Thanks for your video, i didn't know i know why because of lack of promotion etc they disband just after 4 months, so sad for the girls with their mistreatment, oversexualization etc, they deserved better

[@ErinAnodea]

It's horrible what the 'great company' subjected them to. I hope they all find success and happiness in or out of entertainment industry

[@purpledreamcatcher]

"great"

[@KpopGenie]

I swear to god, there's never gonna be a better line in any video I watch than "The members all posted disbandment announcements and the official account posted an air conditioner." DayDream really took the cake for the messiest group. It's terrifying imagining what they went through. I followed Sarang from her Switch days. DAM Ent. was... not the best company (mistreating and mismanaging ICIA and Switch) and now their affiliate, HP Ent., actively is exploiting a minor with Girl Crush. It's sad to imagine she wound up in 2 bad agencies like this. I always want to cheer for the underdog companies but, sometimes, you can't tell who's a legitimate entertainment and who's running an agency from a basement...

[@HOLLYNOELLOBO]

I only heard about Daydream once but I didn’t follow them or know much about them. I only heard about them because I’ve been a fan of some groups under Liz entertainment for a couple years now and I especially was waiting for ZeroSix’s debut all the way since 2020. I really enjoyed Xindy’s debut and I hope the other girls of Daydream can find success and happiness in their futures!

[@Sheepy16able]

I will never understand this. Why do they open a new company when they don`t have any money? How is this possible? And how is it possible to mess so many things up in just 4 months? Stop opening a company when you don`t have money and you don`t know what to do. it`s that easy.

[@frompiss_9]

its such a waste because the girls obv had so much potential + NUM NUM is such a mf bop.

they will always remind me to never ult a nugu group.. i was one of the most active users in their twitter community but still, it all went to shit :/ it's so sad that despite everything they went though, it all came out to nothing

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

They were too nugu but Craxy is a good example of a group someone can ult despite being nugu

[@charrieg8511]

5:24 i’ve seen a fancam that has almost 2 million views of sarang… :/

[@searchingforelris]

There's also one with over 3 million views but that's from her time in dance team HAPPINESS, not her time in daydream. So we didn't mention it in the video... :(

[@lilythiri]

Hi. I passed Audition at Liz enter. What should I do? 😢

[@gaeulovebot]

You should make a video about kpop(?) "happiness', they're very nugu as I couldn't find any info about them..they might be a j-pop group, but all the fancams are in korean? I found a channel after looking for sarang fancams and i found the group happiness', one of them wasn't wearing safety shorts, similar to sarang! i went to check if this was a one time mistake or a reoccurring thing and it was hard for me to tell, but their safety shorts (i couldn't even tell if that's what they were supposed to be) looked like undergarments! im searching for more info, but i worry about them and the possible sexualization going on.

[@dumiicris2694]

no matter what happened they should sue them i watched num num and they look very normal to me they should sue whoever they had a problem with.. even if the contract was very weak and leave room for interpretation they should try that song deserves respect the 4 of them deserves only by smile everything and not "THE RESPECT" of some bitches. you girls have to sue them you have to immoral it is immoral and this is not covered by any law or contract or whatever dont listen to them you just find a good lawyer . good doesnt mean winning 2000 cases in 2 years good means moral (right vs wrong) dont get played and dont beleve they cant do everything you cant do anything. you did not sign a contract that said we can do anything you can do nothing. dont get played. you can do anything if it is moral or you know it is! dont get played.. if u girls exist in that country it means a few other guys that can help you have to be there u just have to look for them!! on your own if u have to..
