Will GIDLE be the first real rebel female group in kpop?

I read that Soojin's individual activities/promotions were cancelled though (just something i read here, dunno how true it is).

When GIDLE had their CA scandal with ifans there was no acknowledgement or apologies (as far as I know). They just brushed it off. Or as tay tay says, 'shake it off'.

Now with a bully scandal it's typical for companies to preoccupy themselves dealing with the issue. Cube made a few statements and Soojin also made a statement, but as the accusations and public outrage and kvetching increases at a fever pitch there's been silence from Cube & GIDLE. Obviously they became more low-key but they seem to be preparing quietly for their next cb.

Could GIDLE be a group that literally doesn't give a fuck about public feelings? I knew I stanned the right group

actually ifans were dragging them relentlessly and still are. Plus why would that be a good reason to stan? what kind of a brag is like "well my faves are racist and don't care!! <<33 stan!!" like no . I'm not saying GIDLE are racist we don't know them, I'm using that statement because it's very bad for a group like GIDLE especially rn. Plus why wouldn't they care for public opinions? Fans are keeping their lights on and the air conditioner going since HyunA isn't there to do it, now its IDLE's job. I'm sure they don't care for hate but criticism for sure it's how you grow as an artist and IDLE are artists

I wish they apologized for their disrespectful behaviour

No, it seems hardly possible. The Queendom controversy was easy to brush off because only i-fans were concerned about it. Korea didn't care. So it eventually died down once i-netz had enough of spamming Cube SNS. The Queendom program kept on airing and the next performances of (G)I-DLE made everyone forget about Fire.

This case is not gonna go the same way. You can't brush off korean gp's opinion when you operate in Korea first and foremost. How are they supposed to promote and such if they have to face a constant barrage of critics? It cannot be done.

nobody apologizes to iFans, companies only see us as a secondary source of money, they have no respect for non east asian issues

I don't know. If the alligations are fictitious or embellished, I wouldn't be surprised if Cube took some form of legal action..epecially if it is messing with their money.

If G-Ida wants to be a global or international group, I don't think they can afford having too many instances of CA. There are groups who are talented enough to attract an international audience but their team isn't interculturally saavy enough to steer them clear of potential CA issues so they won't lose support due to repeat acts of willful ignorance.
