THREAD - DEBUNKING THE "IVE NOT BOWING" ALLEGATIONS
can't believe I have to do this just because kpop stans are way too dumb and gullible and would believe edited clips instead of looking for the truth
"Knetz pick the worst entertainment companies: HYBE is the only big agency that gets called out"
[...] "One of the biggest reasons for Korean netizens’ outrage towards HYBE is GFRIEND‘s heartbreaking disbandment"
I feel We as a community don't talk enough about how GFriend literally write feminst music to empower women, they write about women solidarity, women independence, how strong women are and how we should love ourselves more
@GFRDofficial
are incredibly inspiring and empowering
BPM in less than a year:
- Soyou (Sistar)
- Eunha, SinB and Umji (Gfriend)
- Huh Gak (gp digimon)
- Be'o (SMTM)
- Ha Sungwoon (hotshot / Wanna One)
- Lee Mujin (digimon)
- Samuel (pd101 and soloist)
- Ren (Nu'est)
- started auditioning for trainees
Gfriend members were fairly loved by fans, they had a fair lines distribution, a fair ratio among fans, the only unfair thing is the way you all treated them
I love how people will always recognize their agencies by
"that's Gfriend/Viviz's agency"
rather than by the actual label name
it shows relevancy, a lot of artists are known for their famous agency, the girls don't need big names or payola behind them,they make news by themselves
Since other fandoms are doing it, I'm gonna do a (long) thread about what GFriend have been going through since their debut 'till now beacuse stan Twitter never cared about helping them and we always fight injustices alone
I will try to give a chronological order to the events
little reminder GFriend were kicked out may 2021, only had some schedules in the first 4 months with all the following schedules cancelled, they released no album or merch and still made 1.8B won earnings
the staff moved to their new agencies
GFriend was never the problem
-HYBE listing GF as their artists on their website
-S.M. still using GFriend's name and reputation on their website
-S.M. using the girls to promote their auditions for new trainees
- (28 may) SouMu/hybe listing GF as artists under their agency
FREE THE GIRLS AND THEIR BRAND RN
Mnet using Gfriend songs for their survivals because they know they will increase the ratings but never treating the girls right, doesn't sit well with me
Notice how several ppl perceived similar vibes between IVE 'summer' and some of Gfriend's concepts but none of us is screaming at plagiarism bcs we are rather excited for them to have a cool concept while other fandoms would jump at out girls for using common things in their MVs
You can really tell SinB and Gfriend as a whole are humble people, they never treat fans and other people as "work", they genuinely care, even when cameras are not around, they will be kind and happy to interact
It's been one year since SinB and Sowon changed their names on weverse and Sowon -posing as an operator- tried to shut down weverse
that day was so funny 😭
- from the nuguest agency
- hadn't been active for 2+ years
- a company that sucked in promotions
- always sabotaged by others
- broke so many records
no other group could have achieved what GF achieved if put in their same shoes, but ppl will try to convince u they are flops 🦧
She's the center, the only one with the crown and the only one with a different pose, Choi Yuna what is Source Music planning for you?
Are they choosing her because she has "choi"(ce) in her name and that's perfect for the concept?? 😭
@GFRDofficial
Both groups said they didn't want to disband, both agencies had schedules ready for them implying it wasn't their first choice either
It's clear who forced their decision over them, it's foolish to deny it
The most critically-acclaimed, she went viral in c/k/j/thai and ww-twitter, got stans from other fandoms praising and defending her, people admitting they watch Queendom only for her, she's the star : SinB
SinB being the only one among all the dancers to be dressed as the DND crew + Mina specifically asked her to join an important mission on a survival show because she trusted her and her dancing abilities that much
saying that I'm proud of SinB is an understatement
thank you Mina
"buddies owe us an apology"
no you fuckers owe us one, we've been telling you GFriend was never the reason of the debt, they created two agency from scratch
it was the management (mhj and ssj) screwing things up
It's true. Even Knetz know about this, that Soumu experienced a major bankruptcy. She brought all Soumu employees to Ador and left nothing but huge debt. Only the CEO remained, Soyeon Amy as performance director, and 2 music producers, Noh Juhwan and Frants (who also works for+
Even without an official solo debut, Yuju got the most unique listeners on Melon, she's already in the top5 total streams for a solo act, furthermore, experts consider her solo debut to be one of the most anticipated ones
Imagine how big she can become once she debuts officially
It doesn't matter if u unstan GFriend, it's okay if you're upset, is right to hold S. accountable but is plenty WRONG to throw the term "n!zi" this nonchalantly, doing an ignorant mistake isn't the same as being one of those criminals
Please read the thread below ⬇️
all the hate IVE has received throughout their career can always be traced back to bg stans, they cut videos and twist narratives "they don't bow" and then other videos show them bowing "They interrupt the MC" and instead he's the one who doesn't follow the script
getting mad at
In two months with Sublime ent, Yerin already got:
- several magazine photoshoots
- the lancome event
- yt show
- several radio appearances
- sponsored make-up/beauty ads
- 2 live
- vlog (apparently she's filming them)
- a leading role in a web drama
Source could never
Good thing instagram removed that section where u could see your friends' activities and which post they liked, imagine ur friends and family seeing u liking feet pics
- not a single condolence message
- didn't ask people to refrain from invading the girls privacy
- no statement in the past 2 days leaving all of us worried
- not cancelling the schedule + forcing the girls to fly to the other side of the world and miss the funeral
r we serious
GFriend is a soulmate group, with other groups I stan there are a lot of uncertainties but for them I'm 100% sure they will last for a long time and that's the best feeling ever👌🏼
@GFRDofficial
Are we realizing that GFriend got over 100 awards, 1st pak for a 3rd gen group, first to achieve 100M stream, the best selling not big3 girl group, imagine what they could have achieved if they were from a big company, I perfectly understand why people feel threatened by them
It's so funny how armi3s are like "gf last 2-3 cb flopped"
You know that the last 2-3 comebacks were under h¥be and were written by bang pd too?...
You're saying that since they joined the label things went down? Do you agree we were better off before ???
Queendom will post 2 videos for the performances, remember to stream the full ver. perf -the one without reactions from other groups- the full ver is the one that that matters for the criteria of the show
the concept was "i believe in myself" and they were the only girls under the label, they could have choose among an infinite amount of cool or empowering concepts, but instead they were given the "girls in the gym, no talking" script while the men had fun and actual lines 💩
rookie Viviz, with 1/3 of Gfriend's fandom, having their best 1st week sales in their career really shows how much soumu sucked in promoting and restocking albums, once again proving they were indeed the problem
Viviz tour dates predictions:
2 Seoul dates
2 in Japan
Hong Kong
Paris
London
Berlin or Munich
rock paper scissors to choose between Warsaw or Madrid
Amsterdam (if they wanna have a bigger tour)
Atlanta
Houston
Dallas
Denver
Jakarta
Kuala Lumpur
Taipei
Macau
Seoul encore
Bpm needs to stop producing limited quantities for Viviz, they limited the album to 50k copies, the seasons greetings was super limited and went sold out in a blink, several people got their order canceled after a long wait, they are currently your best selling artist, SELL
You can watch videos from channel like this one as filler between the streams for queendom, doing double work by streaming and helping viviz to go viral
#viviz
@VIVIZ_official
A lot of you fail to realize how lucky we are the girls are still active, so many groups were forced to part ways and usually only 1 member keeps making music and being popular while the others members almost disappear or change job (cont.)
BREAKING NEWS:
@NASA
Discovered The Prettiest Galaxy, She's Eunha From
#GFRIEND
+ The Entire World Is In Love With Her And People Are Already Planning To Dump The Earth
@allkpop
THE WORLD NEES TO KNOW:
SMA IS SABOTAGING GFRIEND SINCE 2018, WE DIDN'T CHEAT AND THEY'RE DELETING VOTES FROM REAL ACCOUNTS
WHOSFAN WHO WORKED WITH SMA ALSO ROBBED US AND WHEN WE ASKED FOR EXPLANATIONS, THEY CLOSED THE DM
TWITTER RIOT, THIS IS FOR WOMEN AGAINST AWARDS MISOGYNY
You're telling me source knew for a month or + but still updated their schedule in their fancafe every week only to deleted them abruptly, when they knew since beginning they wouldn't have release those contents
And though 4days was enough time for fan to process the whole thing?
🐱: how can we tell this to our fans? "we're not doing it anymore..", "gfriend is not renewing" this is something we can't tell you first. that's why, one month before the article came out, you see the members doing vlive and crying. unnies are crying seeing vids of fans cheering
sinb's reaction asking if they didn't consider other groups performance or it was just an excuse is valid. they only compared their performance to hyorin's.. and also, that "don't tell them is disappointing" is kinda offensive 🤨
I'm not forgetting how her old label didn't let her group interact with other groups under the same label, while everyone else could and is still doing it
I hated that, they're clearly good friends
what sides are some of you from?
saying Eunha could have performed alone to let SinB and Umji stay in kr, are you serious???
guys? Eunha was his friend as well and she's also suffering knowing Eunbi e Yewon are in so much pain, how do you expect her to take all on her shoulders?
Now, do we all see the importance of trending hashtags and have events ?
We should never stop doing them, we need k-buddy to work with us to make them trend every day in Korea, and we should hold other projects too
was 2018 really the last good year for Gfriend as kpop stans claim?
would have they disbanded if the acquisition didn't took place?
the following thread will explain what happened to these 6 girls from 2019 to may 2021;
let's start from january 2019:
