According to Star Today's investigation on the 26th, 5 out of 8 Fromis_9's members (Song Hayoung, Park Jiwon, Lee Nakyung, Lee Chaeyoung, Baek Jiheon) have recently signed exclusive contracts with the newly established agency 'ASND'.

However, the remaining 3 members, Lee Saerom, Lee Seoyeon, and Roh Jisun, have decided to go their separate ways after long discussions with the members.

It has been confirmed that the members wanted to keep the group together even after leaving their original agency, Pledis Entertainment.

After carefully considering their options, the five members ultimately agreed to join a new, more progressive, and diverse agency to begin a new chapter.

The members who have joined the new agency will continue to use the group name. 

theqoo

-Saerom, Seoyeon, and Jisun... That's surprising.

-I didn't expect Lee Nakyung's decision. I thought she'd leave to focus on her acting career... I also didn't expect those three to not renew their contracts.

-Oh... They even get to keep the group name?? That's good news.

-I think Seoyeon is going to go solo and Saerom would pursue her acting career. Actually, I'm most surprised about Nakyung and Jisun...

-I thought fromis_9 had nine members, but it turns out there were only eight.

-I liked Saerom. It's a pityㅜ I hope she does well in the future.

-I think Seoyeon would do fine as a solo artist.

-Well... It is not easy for all 8 members to renew their contracts together. But still, this is good news.

-Nakyung should just focus on her acting career... Why did she choose to stay in the group?

-I just became a fan yesterday, sigh... Still, I’m glad at least five of them are staying together.

-I had a feeling Song Hayoung and Park Jiwon would stick together.

-I’ve heard Saerom and Jisun’s names quite a lot. Aren’t they popular members?

-Hul... The other 3 members are my favorites... I wonder where they'll go now.

-Is Song Hayoung the main vocalist?

-When I heard only 5 members stayed, I figured it'd be those 5.

The first idol in South Korea to openly admit to hair transplants due to hair lossㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

Jiwon: Well, actually... This is the first time I'm revealing this. I had a little bit of hair transplanted at the front...!

Jiwon: A lot of people do this nowadays...

Employee: But you're an idol, is it okay to say this?

Jiwon: Why not?! Oh... Is it not okay?

Jiwon: With all the frequent ponytails, I was losing hair at the front. I only had a tiny amount transplanted, but even so, it cost quite a bit. 

Employee: About how much?

Jiwon: Around 2 to 3 million KRW. I wonder if insurance covers any of it?

Employee: For that amount, maybe a wig would be cheaper...

Jiwon: A wig? Yeah, but doesn’t it feel a bit different?

Not a male idol, but a female idolㄷㄷㄷㄷ

Fromis9's Park Jiwon

theqoo

-I would be surprised if idols don't experience hair loss

-Considering that they bleach their hair, use hairspray, and tie their hair tightly, it's actually understandable.

-Hul... So are hair transplants possible?? I'm dealing with hair loss and I'm really interested... Does hair transplants last long?

-Yeah... Even a small amount of hair costs at least 2 million KRW. It's really expensive.

-I bet a lot of idols have gotten hair transplants without us knowing. I was worried when I saw my bias' hair is thinning, but one day, it suddenly looked fullerㅋㅋㅋ

-Hul... I also have a receding spot in my bangs area. I was considering to get a hair transplant, but it's really expensiveㅠㅠ

-Even Somi mentioned about hair transplants recently... It seems like a lot of women are getting it done.

-Do they take hair from the back and transplant it to the frown? My hair loss is stressing me out tooㅠㅠ

-If I had the money, I'd want to get my hair transplanted too......

-My dad did a hair transplant and it made a huge differenceㅋㅋㅋ

-Female idols have to diet and constantly change their hairstyles, so it's difficult for them to avoid hair lossㅠㅠ

-I personally think it's understandable for idols to get hair transplants since they must be experiencing hair loss due to all the bleaching and dieting... I wonder where they get it done...

-That's not a hair loss, it's more like a hairline correction.

-My forehead keeps getting wider as I get older, I want to get hair transplants tooㅋㅋ

Jeon Hyunmoo spotted on a concert date with a female idol? .... Turns out to be Fromis9's Jiwon

 

by Reporter Choi Jiye

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/312/0000683412

According to recent reports, TV personality Jeon Hyunmoo (47) was spotted at 2NE1's concert with Fromis9's Jiwon (26, Park Jiwon). It was confirmed that the two attended the event together, not for a broadcast event but on a personal outing. Eyewitness accounts reveal that the two appeared comfortable and enjoyed the concert together.

According to TenAsia's reports on the 7th, Jeon Hyunmoo and Jiwon attended the second show of the '2024 2NE1 Concert Welcome Back in Seoul' on October 5 at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul.

During the event, Jeon Hyunmoo was seen sitting next to Jiwon, enjoying the concert. Jeon Hyunmoowore a khaki jacket and a beige cap, while Jiwon covered her face with a navy cap and wore a white off-shoulders knit top. Both wore masks, making it difficult for the public to recognize them. At one point, Jeon Hyunmoo introduced Jiwon to SHINee's Key, who was sitting next to them, and they chatted during the concert.

During the 2NE1's dance challenge, the camera caught Jiwon, who sat between Key and Jeon Hyunmoo. Jiwon appeared flustered and Jeon Hyunmoo diverted the attention by performing a playful techno dance. After the concert, the two continued to leave the venue together.

A representative from Jiwon's agency, Pledis Entertainment, confirmed to TenAsia, saying "She did attend the concert with Jeon Hyunmoo." The company revealed that the two became acquainted through events like awards shows and MBC's Idol Star Athletic Championships. However, the company clarified that they are not dating.

Jeon Hyunmoo later posted a picture from the 2NE1 concert on his social media, notably leaving Jiwon out of the shot and only including Key. In the photo, a woman in a white outfit, slightly visible between Jeon Hyunmoo and Key, is Jiwon.

theqoo

-? They went to the concert because they were invited. It's not like they were holding hands or something.

-They already clarified that they're not dating anyway.

-Aren't they just friends...?

-Looks like they're just friends. Why would they date at a concert where so many people gather....?

-Just look at their age difference!!

-They already said they're not saying, though. Why the fuss?

-I mean... If they were really dating, would they go to a concert together?

-They have 20 years of age difference... Isn't the normal way to assume that they're just friends?

-She's young enough to be his daughter... Why would someone write an article like this?

-Maybe they just happened to sit next to each other.

-Weren't they invited to the concert?

-This article makes me sick.

7-year-old girl group Fromis9 is finally gaining recognition...

 

Ranks 7th on Melon TOP 100

Ranks 11th on Melon Daily Chart

theqoo

-Isn't this the group that was rigged? The one where Lee Haein actually ranked 1st in?

-Their previous songs were much better. This one’s really bad... I stopped listening after one play.

-Their previous releases are better.

-Rigging aside, I think their previous releases are better. It's kinda surprising to know that this is their highest-ranked song yet...

-The song is really good. Super super.

-I don’t know their older songs well, but this new one is good.

-This song is indeed very good. It's the song I listen to on my way to and off from work.

-If they maintain the song quality, the ranking for the next song should also be decent.

-The song was good, I listened to it while getting ready for work today.

-I understand the members worked hard, and the song is good.... But honestly, I can't support them...

-They’ve consistently released good songs.

-The song is good, but my all-time favorite is Stay This Way.

-This is very surprising because this song is not as good as their previous releases. I think songs like We Go and DM are way better than this one.

The amount of articles shared about ILLIT's Wonhee and Fromis_9's Jiheon absence from their schedule today

There was only one article about Jiheon's absence 

ILLIT's Wonhee

theqoo

-Sigh...ㅎㅎ I really want to kill HYBE.

-It's too obvious.

-Ah, it's so transparent that there's nothing to say about it.

-It's really disgusting. Why is HYBE going this far?

-Please, if you're going to media-play, make sure to not be so obvious.

-Their media-play game has gone absolutely insane.

-They're using ILLIT's Wonhee as their shieldㅎㅎㅎ

-How much do they want to make these young girls suffer? 

-So transparent, it's disgusting.

-HYBE is so openly biasedㅎㅎㅎ

-I'm so tired of HYBE...

-Exploiting a young girl's pain... If that's not trash behavior then I don't know what is.

-Take care of her if she's sick, instead of focusing on your media play.

-HYBE is disgusting, the worst company ever.

-Why isn't there any news about Hyein's foot injury?

-I don't think this is even comparable... The level of interest is different right now.

-HYBE is disgusting. They should stop using Wonhee as their shield. She can't even rest comfortably.

-It's too obvious that they're exploiting her...

-Since she's sick, give her a 1.5-year leave.

-Why is Min Heejin mentioned in one of those articlesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Is she really sick?? HYBE's media play is so severe, I can't help but be suspicious.

-Thanks to HYBE, I find ILLIT and LE SSERAFIM unlikable now

Fromis_9's Park Jiwon: "I will receive my first settlement within this year!! Absolutely within this year!!"

 

1. Is she saying that Fromis_9 hasn't received any money since their debut?

2. Is she saying that Fromis_9 hasn't received any money since they joined HYBE?

3. Is she saying that Fromis_9 hasn't received any money this year?

It's really ambiguous, but for now, people are leaning towards 1.

theqoo

-How can Fromis_9 still haven't received any money...?

-Huh... They've been paid 0 KRW...?

-If Fromis_9 were influencers, they would've made a lot of money. It's ironic to know that they hardly make money as idols.

-My idol is also from a mid-sized company and they have already received their settlement. So why hasn't Fromis_9 received theirs? I mean... These girls even held concerts bigger than my idol's...?

-Judging by the way she said it, it seems like Fromis_9 hasn't received anything so far...

-Wait... Fromis_9 is not a nugu group. Does it make sense that they haven't been paid at all??

-Aren't they... Fromis_9..? Does that make sense?ㅠㅠ

-Is she saying that the group hasn't received any settlements?? If they still have debts remaining, how did Jang Gyuri leave..?

-They probably didn't make profit as much as the amount of money invested for their activities...?

-How did that one member leave then...?

-Fromis_9 has been active for 7 years... It's a big problem if they still haven't gotten paid at all.

-It's possible for them to haven't received any settlements this year because there have been no activities. If they haven't received settlements since debut, how did they survive until now?

-Does it make sense that a group like Fromis_9 still haven't received any money since their debut?

-I heard they have to pay off the production costs of the survival show... Wouldn't it better to have shorter contract periods if you're going to debut as a survival show group then?

Pledis official statement regarding fromis_9 neglect controversy (Increasing event invitations, comeback preparations proceeding smoothly)

 

On the 13th, Pledis Ent. revealed that festival invitations are pouring in for Fromis_9.

The girls are set to kick off their comeback preparations by participating in major festivals and events. On the 17th, they will perform at the festival of Dongyang University in Seoul, followed by an appearance at the 'Spring Breeze in Campus' event at the Peace Hall of Kyunghee University on the 18th.

On the 21st, they will take the stage at the 'KBS Korea on Stage' event held at Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul to raise awareness about the importance of national heritage.

From June to August, they are scheduled to appear at various festivals. Starting from the 'Weverse Con Festival' on June 16th, followed by the 'Waterbomb 2024 Nationwide Tour' in Seoul on July 5th, and performances in Incheon on August 3rd.

The agency stated, "In addition, we are actively negotiating with various festival organizers and coordinating other performances." 

Fromis_9's member Lee Chaeyoung recently expressed her sadness during a live broadcast, saying, "Why can't we, only us, fromis_9, be active for so long? It's so sad," and "I also have Flovers (official fandom name). I also have fans. We also have Flovers," which led to speculation among some fans about being 'neglected'.

On the other hand, Pledis Entertainment responded indirectly to such suspicions. The agency stated, "We are smoothly progressing with fromis_9's comeback preparations. We plan to showcase various activities, including not only music but also a photo exhibition, this year," and added, "We will spare no effort in providing the necessary support for this."

theqoo

-Yeah...

-Holding events without releasing an album seems half-hearted.

-It's obvious they're rushing...

-Everything, including Weverse concerts, was already planned before this fuss.

-They're asking for a comeback and a new album.

-Eventually, they're not preparing for a new album after all.

-Neglect? They're always busy with Weverse schedules, events, individual song features, and more.

-If they're having one comeback a year, they're doing enough.

-I thought they were being neglected when the controversy first arises, but they did concerts this year, released singles, and participated in big events, so...

-They really weren't neglected. Considering this group is fabricated, just being able to do what they're doing now is something to be grateful for.

-They have a lot of schedules, and they've been around for seven years. Isn't releasing an album once a year enough?

-Why is this a neglect? The group only has 4 months left until their contract expires, which company would release an album in that situation??

-They were never neglected to begin with...

🐿️: Why... Can't we promote? Why only us? Why only Fromis 9? It's so sad... I have Flovers too! (x2). I have fans too...!! We have Flovers too...!

This is really heartbreaking. They have never said it so directly before.

Fans are discussing whether their company (Pledis) is putting Fromis 9's activities on hold. Their last promotion was 11 months ago. And this year is the time for their contract renewal.

theqoo

-Pledis is at it again.

-Why did Pledis bring them in if they're going to do this?ㅠㅠ

-This is really heartbreakingㅠㅠㅠ

-When was their last activity?

-If they can't take responsibility, why did they bring them in?

-Are they not even preparing an album right now?

-Pledis really does such terrible things to their female idols.

-Oh, it must be really tough if they're speaking up like this directlyㅠㅠㅠ

-Seriously, they shouldn't let Pledis handle female idols.

-Pledis is just hopeless.

-They did the same thing to Pristin, and now this.

-I thought they were planning a comeback in June at the beginning of the year, but it seems delayed again.

-Pledis shouldn't raise female idols if they're going to do this...

-It's so upsetting.

-It seems like Pledis shouldn't handle female idols...

-From the perspective of idols and fans, it's frustrating and unsettling..ㅠ

The Choreography Controversy That Arose at the Time of ILLIT's Debut

 

Many people thought that ILLIT did not only copy New Jeans' choreography but also LE SSERAFIM and Fromis9. So, some believed that it might not just be an homage.

(I didn't post this to criticize, but because there was a mention of choreography in Audor's statement.)

theqoo

-At this point, I think they did this with the intention of noise marketing

-Their concept and songs are just way too similar, I thought they were intentionally made that way with consent. But apparently, I was wrong. 

-HYBE should just apologize...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If someone copied the work I did, I would feel really terrible. I hope they resolve this matter peacefully.

-Isn't this kind of thing very common?

-How can it be an homage if ADOR didn't give their consent to it? It's plain plagiarismㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Who made ILLIT's choreography?

-Why do HYBE's girl groups always seem to come up with homages...?

-I thought ILLIT included choreography from those groups to show that they're a group under HYBE. But it seems like they didn't seek approval from those groups first before using their choreography.

-All those works are from HYBE, so how can they be considered as homage or plagiarism?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This wasn't even the main issue of the controversy...

-Homage should feel like a sign of respect, not plagiarism...

-So, ADOR got backstabbed?

Idol School Manipulation

 
This is essentially the most severe rigged show.

theqoo

-They're openly scamming from the beginning.

-This show is rigged from start to finish.

-Haeinㅠㅠ

-This show was a complete scam. It was unbelievable.

-Produce 48 manipulation was honestly a conspiracy theory level. This was practically confirmed, the show lost its appeal and didn't catch on.

-It's amazing that they're still actively promoting

-Even while watching, it doesn't make sense.

-How could they remove the 1st place? At least Haeinhas now become a creative director, thank goodness. Mnet is crazy.

-If this show was in the U.S., would they have been sued for billions? They're insane.

-How is the group still actively promoting?

-This show was really heavily manipulated, but it's almost buried and hardly talked about. It's really surprising that the manipulation group is still active.

-If Haein had debuted as originally planned, the team would have been more popular. How could they manipulate the 1st place?

-Manipulated the 1st place...??? 

-At this point, they've probably already decided all the rankings beforehand...

-They really have no conscienceㅋㅋㅋ

-It's really a comedy how they're still actively promoting...

-This show is literally the worst

Lovelyz's Ryu Sujeong

-Their waists are literally like this )  (

-You can't achieve that just by working out, right?

-I thought of Krystal...

-Ryu Sujeong is really skinny... She has a chubby face so I thought her body would be chubby as well.

-Am I an idiot?? Why would I click on this post...??? I wish my waist looked like that tooㅠㅠ

-You guys are judging someone else's body like it's nothing. Just because you're saying positive things doesn't mean it's not judging and that's not okay.

-Where are Yuna and Dahyun?

-How can even their belly buttons look pretty like thatㅠㅠ

-Where do all of their internal organs go...

-I personally think it's Im Nayoung...? from IOI. And also Twice's Dahyun and AOA's Seolhyun.

-They really do look like mannequins...

-I'm really jealous of Chaeyoung's waistline. It's something you have to be born with, right?
