Hi minjae, regarding Jiyoon of weeekly's part it was stated somewhere (I can't remember where 😭 but I definitely read it!) by Jiyoon herself that her company lied in the letter and she did not in fact choose to leave Weeekly, but they kicked her out instead. She said she was on her way to recovering when they kicked her out. I really hope she's doing well tho! Just thought you'd want to know ^^

and regarding the Kim Garam scandal it has been officially proven that she was innocent, once again another talented idol’s career got ruined by people being too quick to jump to conclusions. None the less im hoping that once Garam graduates from SOPA in 2024 she will try again with her idol dreams even if its as a soloist, she deserves MUCH more then the 2 weeks she got to show us her talents. I said what i said people can come at me for “dEfEnDiNg A BuLlY” but she isnt a bully bestie do some research on the case and you’ll see who the real victim in this case was and you’ll see that this whole scandal started because of an obsessed and jealous ex friend who wanted to ruin Garam’s dreams, career, and reputation all cause of their problems in the past that the “VICTIM” created. Not to mention Garam even mentioned herself that cursing at the “victim” was immature of her but she wont change what she did cause she was sticking up for a friend like her parents taught her. I am proud i stayed neutral in this case cause poor Garam did not deserve all that hate.

[@Vektorix28205]

Most disappointing: 1. BVNDIT. These girls had so much potential. "Hocus Pocus" was an OK debut, but "Dramatic" got them a lot of buzz for an indie group and MNH Entertainment generated a lot of positivity by not only pushing out two more comebacks but several bonus singles over the course of the group's first year. PLUS MNH wrote off the members' trainee debt as compensation for the two year delay in BVNDIT's debut due to Chung Ha being pulled out of the group and debuting as a soloist. Through mid-2020 the future looked promising for BVNDIT...And then MNH threw that all away by mismanaging the pandemic so badly that BVNDIT suffered through a two year hiatus, seeing their already-delayed careers fading away (not to mention coming close to ruining Chung Ha's career as well). A competent company could have easily built them up over time - even their final comeback "Venom" showed strong growth even after two years. It just did NOT have to be this way. 2. bugAboo. Turn the clock back to autumn 2021; A-Team Entertainment seemed to be doing EVERYTHING right to strongly launch bugAboo. Beyond leveraging the popularity of members Choyeon and Eunchae from Produce48, A-Team did a TON of top-quality pre-debut content, and the debut itself was very well done and well-received for a small company group... but then A-Team wasn't just any small company, as it was basically the personal project of star composer/producer Ryan Jhun. Jhun poured his talent into bugAboo's debut and it showed. And then a nine-month wait for a comeback, which turned out to be another single with a dramatically smaller budget and which lacked almost any input from Jhun. Shortly after promotions for "Pop" ended Jhun had signed with a different company (huh? you're CEO of an agency and...sign with a different and new company with only one other artist? *head scratching*.) Ryan Jhun completely failed bugAboo and left them to wither, reflected by Kim Choyeon pointedly unfollowing Jhun on social media the day after the disbandment. 3. LOONA. This should have been LOONA's year. Queendom 2, successful comeback, world tour. We SHOULD be talking about how LOONA is finally reaching the heights they have been working towards since the first pre-debut songs. Instead...despite Blockberry Creative's claims that a comeback is being prepared, virtually no one believes that or can see any way forward for the group under their current company. Even if the members could be convinced/coerced into recording a comeback sometime in 2023 (an overwhelming IF regardless of whether the reports are true of nine members filing for suspension/termination of their contracts), Orbits are pledged to boycott and the Chuu situation is so public that any comeback would be dominated by questions about all of the drama surrounding Blockberry's treatment of Chuu and the other members. LOONA is the one group on this list that I WANT to disband - even if they aren't able to continue as a group elsewhere - simply because the members all deserve a better career than what they're getting under Blockberry. Special mention: CLC. The CLC disbandment is old news at this point - even though we didn't know about it until later it's clear CUBE ended the group immediately after "Helicopter" promotions in 2020. But what happened with CLC from 2015-2020 should be examined and studied for years to come as a textbook example of how NOT to promote an idol group. CLC's incredible talents were wasted by the company's stubborn indifference, poor management choices, ownership changes, and inability to settle on a concept that suited the members. At least most of the members seem to have landed on their feet, although Elkie destroyed her international popularity and any chance she had of ever working in South Korea again by making statements supporting Chinese government policies and North Korea.

@@Dino-pk5hc I will absolutely admit that CLC's sales were terrible. Just based on sales alone, yes, they were going to get cut.

The best comparison is with Dreamcatcher, who also debuted as a cute concept (MINX), also revamped/re-debuted in a darker, more mature concept literally the SAME WEEK that CLC's "Hobgoblin" was released, and also were from a smaller company that had to make tough decisions about how to promote the group. Happyface Entertainment/Dreamcatcher Company put immense work into growing the fan base with regular comebacks, special clips in between comebacks, regular touring and just enough lore to generate more hype about comebacks. Whereas, CUBE only reluctantly approved the "Hobgoblin" concept shift, never fully backed it ("Where Are You" was a good song but the WRONG song to follow "Hobgoblin" with), left CLC on hiatus for a year TWICE, never sent them on tour, and did very little in between comebacks to boost the group's visibility. If CUBE had provided the same level of support and promotion to CLC that Happyface did during Dreamcatcher's early years, CLC would have sold many many more albums - just like Dreamcatcher has.

if anyone’s wondering what orbits (loona fans) are speculating, here’s the general consensus i’ve seen idk if there’s been evidence of this but a lot of fans are saying the girls (all 12) are not getting paid and are just generally being mistreated. i think in the past the girls (particularly hyeju, yves, gowon & chuu) have spoken about not being allowed to eat at times even when they were working extensively. earlier this year chuu filed a lawsuit with bbc, i think filing claims of abuse but i could be wrong; im not positive. right now a lot of orbits are leaning towards boycotting bbc as a whole and not supporting any future loona comebacks, especially since all of the members-with the exception of vivi and hyunjin-have filed injunctions with bbc to terminate their contracts. the first thing any of the girls said after the news about chuu broke was that loona is 12 (from hyunjin.) like i said, as far as i’m aware there’s no evidence of the girls not getting paid and/or being mistreated, (though if you know of any feel free to reply) but considering that the majority of the group is trying to leave it’s becoming kind of clear that being at bbc is not what they want anymore. to support them we are asking everyone boycotts bbc, and that means no streaming of their music, videos, (even the color coded lyric ones, it doesn’t matter if bbc didn’t post them, they still count) purchasing of their merchandise of any kind and overall trying to speak in the only language this company seems to understand: money. we have to hold back on giving money to bbc in any way so they know we’re here for the girls first and foremost. even if you don’t stan loona, pls help us help the girls by not supporting their rumored upcoming comeback. thank you.

I just wished we could have had some kind of a warning before she left so abruptly. :( NMIXX's 1 year debut anniversary is in 2 months and she didn't even make it till then. It's actually so sad because she was so passionate about what she did and she slowly started being sick of it. NMIXX even attended MAMA and she really seemed okay. She even stated on BBL that she was excited for NMIXX's future comebacks and promotions but then we find out she leaves the group ASWELL as JYPE as a whole is devastating. Some people speculate that even Bae is soon to leave because of mental health reasons. I'm just gonna miss Jinni so bad :( NMIXX will never be the same.

just a little add-up to the loona situation few days after the chuu removal happened, 9 loona members (excluding vivi and hyunjin) reportedly filed injunction to suspend contract with their company it’s believed that vivi didn’t sign it because she’s a foreigner and has a visa (that’s a thing that lets her stay in korea because she works here) if her contract with bbc ended, it would be complicated to stay in korea (i dont understand this topic very well) hyunjin had some upcoming activities in bbc so it’s belived she will file the injunction after her activities are done also if yaal not confused enough, bbc had made a statement saying that loona is going to have a 11 member comeback in early 2023 so yeah the loona situation is really confusing rn we’ll see how it turns out

To better explain Vivi's situation: She is in Korea on a work visa that Blockberry controls. The work visa basically states that she can only stay in Korea as long as she is employed. So if she did decide to leave Blockberry, the work visa wouldn't be valid anymore and she would be deported back to Hong Kong. She could stay if she finds a new company or job quickly, or if she files for a new visa.

@@Vermillion808 Exactly. Which is why most companies speak out about the artist they kick outto justify their reasons. Also, it was obvious that the company adored her. She was the most pushed predebut and is the 2nd centre of the group. She literally does the Nmixx for the switch ups in their songs. She is one of the 2 visuals of the group. She would have to have done something really bad for JYPE to kick her out. Are you seeing how this speculation is going? That's what leads to even more rumours that Jinni might have been sacked because of bad behaviour or some other crazy rumour that could lead to a Woojin 2.0 situation. We should have learned by now not to create our own narratives as a kpop fandom because there are people out there who would see such a comment spread it round. The company said that she left for personal reasons. Why the need to speculate? Why the need to create false narratives? Let's just accept the statement for what it is until either party comes out and speaks more about it.

bugAboo disbanding hit me hard yesterday. Unlike some of the other disbandments this year, this one really came out of no where and was a shock to me. Both their title tracks did relatively well for the size of their young fandom and small company, but I heard that it was album sells that got them. ATEAM is a small company and they pumped a lot of money into bugAboo. My guess is that they just couldn't afford it. They took the girls on tour in Japan, but judging by the behind-the-scenes footage I saw of the concerts, they weren't exactly huge events... and they didn't even fill out the community theaters they were playing in. So I guess that cost ate it too. I'm just really sad as bugAboo made good songs and had the makings of being a great group given time. I just hope the girls have a chance to sign on to other companies and debut elsewhere. BUT, the thing that's hit me the hardest is Ji Eun (from Purple Kiss) leaving the group due to mental health issues. I won't lie, it almost made me cry knowing that she was smiling so brightly publicly while hurting so much in private. I'm going to miss her in Purple Kiss as well. I know she wasn't one of the standout members like Swan, Yuki, or Dosie, but I still think she added a lot to the group. Of course I want her to get the help she needs, but I'm going to miss Ji Eun - was one of my favorites. It's just sad she never got a moment that was just her to allowed her to shine. Shoutout to BVNDIT as well. I only just got into them on their last comeback, only for them to disband. I wish I knew what happened, but given they were from a smaller company I can't only guess it's the same issue with bugAboo.
