Despite recent protests over FNC Entertainment’s lackluster promotions for SF9 and Cherry Bullet, the company continues to face criticism online.
This is what occurred.
Fans Demand More Activities for Cherry Bullet and SF9, FNC Entertainment Faces Backlash
Despite denying any wrongdoing, FNC Entertainment is facing backlash on the internet over accusations of mistreatment towards its two groups, Cherry Bullet and SF9.
Despite being together for five years since their debut in January 2019, fans of Cherry Bullet took to social media platform X (Twitter) to express their frustration with the agency for not giving the group fair treatment. Lullets stated that it has been more than 400 days since Cherry Bullet’s last comeback.
Any fandom that sees this please help us get better treatment for Cherry Bullet. They are such sweet and talented girls, and they only have 23 songs in a 5 year career. They desrve so much more.TREAT CHERRY BULLET BETTER#WhereIsCherryBullet @FNC_ENT https://t.co/HgjHXZNZiL pic.twitter.com/gY2Ue3yEti

This was subsequently followed by additional concerns, including being left out of FNC Entertainment’s future plans for its groups, sudden cancellations of scheduled events, and a lack of group-related content.
Additionally, they highlighted FNC Entertainment’s failure to provide Cherry Bullet with fanmeeting and international tour schedules. They also pointed out the missed opportunities for exposure, given that some members have already gained attention through their participation in survival shows like “Queendom Puzzle”and “Girls Planet 999.”

Additionally, FANTASYs expressed their disappointment with FNC Entertainment for not giving SF9 enough opportunities for activities and promotions. As a result, some fans offered suggestions on how the agency could improve their promotion of the boy group.
Better promo periods & quality of mvs/albums! If you have the resources fnc please use them wisely on the members instead of just fan concerts: /
— idgaf era ✩∞ (@hwifixation) April 15, 2024
Put their albums in certain stores internationally, I have PHYSICALLY seen their albums in the fye store that’s here in my city. I know fnc has the ability to do so.
— idgaf era ✩∞ (@hwifixation) April 15, 2024
Quit with the months of fansignings & fan calls! Give the members actual activities & promo instead of just catering to the same people.
— idgaf era ✩∞ (@hwifixation) April 15, 2024
I wanted one thing for both cherry bullet and sf9 is to leave that company i swear
