Fans Express Concern Over Perceived Unequal Treatment of ITZY's Ryujin by JYP Entertainment

In the years following ITZY's debut, fans have consistently voiced their discontent towards JYP Entertainment, expressing disappointment over what they perceive as inadequate promotion for the talented girl group.

MIDZY, the fanbase for ITZY, even recently organized a protest demanding improved treatment for the group and more frequent comebacks.

Amidst the outcry, one fan diverted attention to the alleged unequal treatment of one of ITZY's members - Ryujin.

The netizen wrote in a popular online community, "Isn't JYP too harsh to Ryujin" and included a schedule chart of each member's activities along with screencaps of when J.Y. Park wasn't able to even recognize who Ryujin was through photos.

The netizen pointed out a video from approximately a year ago when ITZY members were doing an interview with J.Y. Park. The girls gave J.Y. Park a quiz where he had to guess the member in the photo. However, J.Y. Park was unable to recognize that all three photos were Ryujin even after she explained that it was all one person.

The netizen wrote, "Chaeryeong's face = my face."

Other netizens joined and commented, "I think J.Y. Park took care of the artists himself up to TWICE but for the other groups after I don't think he gets involved in their promotion," "Is the quiz for real? They weren't even selfies but were album concept photos and he still gets them wrong," "I can't believe he's letting such a talent go to waste," "She lost his favor after she was caught leaving a guy's house in broad daylight," "Ryujin's one thing but I wonder why they're not promoting Yuna as much," "I think it's really bad that he (J.Y.Park) wasn't even able to recognize Ryujin's face," "How can he not recognize his own artist's face? That's such being careless. I'm not even an ITZY fan but I still would recognize Ryujin if someone showed me her photo," and "I think JYP's rule is to store the popular members in storage."
