Fans believe that YG Entertainment cropped and edited out members Mashiho and Bang Ye Dam from TREASURE's group photos, and are furiously demanding an explanation from the agency.
On June 10, YG Entertainment shared some behind photos from TREASURE's '2021 Summer Camp' via the group's official Weverse.
In the photos, the TREASURE members could be seen posing casually in their boy scout-themed outfits.
However, fans immediately noticed that members Mashiho and Bang Ye Dam, who are currently on hiatus from their group activities, were nowhere to be found in the behind photos.
Previously on May 27, YG Entertainment announced that Mashiho would be taking an extended break due to health issues, while Bang Ye Dam would be taking a break from promotions in order to further study music and composition.
But fans just could not understand why YG Entertainment would release behind photos from TREASURE's '2021 Summer Camp' content and purposely leave out members Mashiho and Bang Ye Dam, who took part in the content filming. TREASURE's '2021 Summer Camp' was a DVD and photo book set released in August of 2021 in light of the group's 1-year debut anniversary, almost a year ago.
Furthermore, fans believe that in one behind photo, member Mashiho was even "photoshopped" out from a cut featuring fellow members.
They pointed out that this photo contained "blurry" portions in the background as well as an unidentified foot, and demanded an explanation as to why YG Entertainment would go so far as to edit out a member on hiatus from old behind photos.
What do you think about the ongoing issue?
I said this in the last article when they announced they're taking a hiatus... Something is fishy... It makes no sense for a guy like Bang Yedam who is super smart and a musical genius to be taking a hiatus to "study music".
