“fromis_9 is being neglected?” Lee Chaeyoung expresses regrets about lack of activities

On May 8th, the online community is buzzing about remarks made by Lee Chaeyoung during a live broadcast on the previous day, in which she expressed regrets about her activities.

During the live broadcast, Lee Chaeyoung expressed her sadness by asking, “Why is it that only fromis_9 is unable to be active for a long time? Are we the only ones?”

With a faint smile, she mentioned, “I too am a part of Flover (fandom). I also have Flover. We also have fans who support us.”

The video of her remarks has gone viral, leading to an overwhelming display of support and sympathy from netizens.

Initially, there has been a great deal of empathy towards fromis_9’s extended break. Following the release of their first full-length album “Unlock My World”in June of last year, the group has collectively been on hiatus for almost a year.

This is in line with their prior album releases, which also experienced comparable periods of inactivity. As a result, both the members and fans may be eager for new projects and performances.

Many netizens have expressed empathy towards Lee Chaeyoung’s remarks, with comments such as “Why is fromis_9 being overlooked?”, “It must be incredibly difficult for her to openly express her regrets”, “My heart goes out to her”, “I feel so sad”, “This is truly unfortunate”, and “Both the members and fans must be deeply affected by this…”

Additionally, there are individuals who are questioning if fromis_9 is heading down the same path as Pristin, another girl group managed by Pledis. Pristin, which consisted of 10 members from different countries, was debuted by Pledis in 2017. Despite being Pledis’ second girl group after After School, Pristin faced challenges with their hiatus and ultimately disbanded after 2 years and 2 months.

As a result, netizens are once again expressing opinions that suggest “Pledis is neglecting fromis_9.”This issue has gained further attention due to the recent focus on multi-labeling under HYBE, making the lack of mention of fromis_9 even more upsetting.

Netizens are sharing their reactions, including statements such as “HYBE should not have brought them in if this was going to happen,””Why is there a lack of accountability,””If they cannot see things through to the end, they should not have even started,”and “fromis_9 has clearly been mistreated.”

At the same time, fromis_9 is a girl group consisting of eight members who made their debut on Mnet’s “Idol School”in 2018.
