Any solution taken in this situation will leave people hurt in that or other way. It is so unfortunate for all the kids involved. That being said it is about time for decision to be taken. Now they just hang there being uncertain what will happen to them and being unable to move this or another way.

X1 should have been voted by the nation's producers and not the PD. They will always be the elephants in the room. On one side, you have BTS, the beaming pride of KPop but then you have this group which everyone knows that they were formed through fraudulent means. Where's honor and dignity in that?

Being a fan is not just about the amount of money and fame you want you idols to have. Its also about preserving their dignity, and positive image for as long as possible. How can they move forward in the future if their debut is already tainted with corruption? A lot of X1 fans are only thinking about the NOW but not about how these boys will be treated by the industry when the cameras are not rolling. They are all still very young and could regroup and rebrand under a different name and management.
