Fans share concern as a fromis_9 member expresses her desire to promote again

AKP STAFF

Recently, concerns have emerged among fans following a recent statement from one of the fromis_9's members. 

On May 7, Lee Chae Young, a fromis_9 member, expressed her worries on Weverse, stirring up new concerns among fans. The group's prolonged break from activities has been troubling fans for a while. Criticism has been growing toward their management agency, Pledis Entertainment, a part of HYBE, with many feeling that the agency has neglected the group's promotions.

In the live voice broadcast, Chae Young shared in a dispirited voice, "Why...aren't we allowed to... promote like this? Only fromis_9...? I'm so sad... I have Flover! (fromis_9's fandom name)... I have fans too..!! I'm so sad... I never voiced this before..."

After hearing Lee Chae Young's latest broadcast, many fans took to a popular online community to further express their dissatisfaction toward Pledis Entertainment. They commented:

"When the album sells well and popularity is at its peak, they should make them more active. It's a shame that they've been inactive for 11 months. It's disappointing."

"If it's Pledis, aren't they the agency for Seventeen? They must have a lot of money, so why don't they promote [the artists]? Even fromis_9 has quite a fandom."
"Pledis has always done this."

"HYBE always does this. They launch a group as an experiment and store them away after."

"Their contract renewal is coming up this year. They are not going to promote as a group."

"I feel so bad for all the members."

"They should at least let the members promote solo."

"Pledis stored PRISTINE away too. They're doing the same with fromis_9."

"Pledis is doing the same again."

"Her voice sounds so sad. It's making me sad."

"This is so sad."

She sound like she have been crying a lot T T

The truth is that HYBE has zero interest in promoting the girl groups they didn't created. I'm seeing a GFriend 2.0 the girls must be thinking of not renew their contracts at this point.
