On January 6, the members’ companies and CJ ENM made the decision to disband the group. This happened just one week after CJ ENM promised to compensate all the trainees who suffered damage from the Produce X 101 controversy and to support the group with activities.
Members of X1 have continuously expressed their desire to continue promotions and to participate in the meeting, but they were not accepted.
The ‘X1 New Group Support Alliance’ was created after the disbandment of X1 in order to request the formation of a new group from members in CJ ENM and other companies that wanted to promote in activities.
This alliance stated that CJ ENM’s Produce X 101 controversy caused innocent members to be accused throughout their activities only to be informed of a one-sided decision of disbandment that ignored their intentions. They feel that CJ ENM needs to compensate for the damage by creating a new group for the members.
International fans are also requesting compensation for the damage done to the members and are protesting through LED truck protests and full-screen advertisements at Coex.
We must cherish these days.
We may not have gotten to walk the flowery path, but instead ….we are getting to march side by side in the name of X1.DAY 11: 1:00 pm KST
Two LED trucks are in Hongdae area now #form_NewX1

On January 20 KST, CJ ENM announced the proposal for a K-Pop fund as a follow-up to the Produce X 101 crisis. However, fans are stating that there was nothing regarding the damage done to the members of X1.
What do you think about this protest? Will you be attending?
