Recently, an online community board garnered much attention due to the massive comments criticizing Pledis for failing to show the full potential of rookie idol group TWS.
Although the video was not a problem, fans used the comment section to voice their opinions and call out the company.
Please improve the content…you don’t need to post every week, so please create content that fans will watch. I’m so jealous when I see other idols. And what’s with the makeup…it looks like actor makeup. Please use some tone-up and color and stop with the shiny skin and glossy lips. I’d be happy with the ‘plot twist’ concept. And you all need to totally redo the hairstyles.
The last video had 292 comments and this video has over 1,500 comments. With this many comments, it shows that all the fans have the same thoughts…please use this as feedback. Please read the popular comments, and for the hair, make-up, and outfits, stop dressing them in baby clothes. I was shocked to see the pants fit not fit properly when wearing suits.
“If it weren’t for the company, TWS would have already succeeded. What can’t they do with the TWS members? The company is so stupid.
Other companies protect their idols even if they do all sorts of stupid shit, but TWS is so pure and innocent and lovely, but the company does all these stupid things and makes fans leave the fandom. Why do the members have to ask fans not to leave on Weverse…so sad.”
Although Korean netizens agreed that the company failed to do its job, they also felt that the fans were going overboard.
- “Isn’t it better to show various units…that’s the fun with stanning K-pop.”
- “I read the whole post…and I think just leaving the fandom is the best decision.”
- “I was shocked seeing them blatantly leaving out the Chinese member. Their popularity was made…their popularity is not decreasing…they are just acting like they had popularity.”
- “Regardless of know-how’s or stats, it’s just the company has lost its touch.”
- “Who can withstand the horrible taste of Pledis…it amazes me to see the people who stay fans.”
- “It’s true that the company is strange, but the fans don’t seem to understand that they are trolling too. I read the comments but more than half of them are just trolls.”
