The time former Pristin Kyla aired all of the group members' dirty laundry because people wrongly blamed her for disbandment

Quote from desdesdes

This is a 500m deep rabbit hole of kpop

Didn't expect seventeen to be mentioned here

Fernando and the boys, you mean?

Quote from Baeggi

Basically the Produce 101 girls lol But I agree. The Pledis team was so hyped in first season, they looked the most like a real girlgroup. Most I.O.I teams suffered from this, like, did gugugan or weki meki need this amount of members too? And since Pledis Girls in produce had that visual group presence and the 3 members added weren't visual members, I feel like this made the hype lower. Yehana and Sungyeon are talented vocalists, and Kyla a talented rapper, but kpop fans are obsessed with visuals.

They had too many members (like the other groups you mentioned) and unfortunately the 3 I mentioned had almost no fans, Kyla didn't even have a single fansite, and I think the other two had 1 each and a shared one iirc and that person took photos of all members except for Kyla

I hate that the three had antis for not looking like a kpop mold, but Kyla had it the worst.

That whole thing was a weird mess because I don't remember there ever actually being proof of Kyla posting or saying any of that stuff. And even then, why were they sitting on that for 3 whole years lmao

I remember seeing proof back in the day and Kyla deactivated all socials after people called her out for it so she might as well confirmed it. If someone made it up and blamed her for it, they used existing rumors for most.

It's weird to see a thread about Pristin the same day I was thinking about making one lol But my focus was how Rollecoaster deserved to be their debut song, I was so addicted to this song back then, Woozi is a good composer.

Oh that's a fun song! Haven't heard it in years.

Quote from WhimsyLand

Idk if any of this is true but I remember some kfans back in the day saying the reason Pristin disbanded was because the group was a mess and no one got along.

some of their former fansites spilled some tea before and yeah, the girls were not getting along but the company was shit too and that was probably the main reason - mismanagement

Quote from Baeggi

Overall it's easier to visual members to get a fandom even if they are introduced later, like Hana from Gugudan, she actually got some kinda of attention and I would say she had more attention than Nayoung who almost made it into I.O.I. Kyla suffered the most because she was bodyshamed too, the way she was just a teenager back then makes me sad.

I will always always remember this

yeah, i think at one point we all knew that

Quote from Letsrollthedice

That a f* up thing to do to a child

I remember when it trended, it literally pained me to see it. Idk how she remained smiling.

Quote from Baeggi

Imagine how messy their relation was to the company don't see any other option other than disband them.

Yikes

Quote from rubyjanes

Kyla was so pathetic for this tbh. Yes she was likely treated badly by pristin members (and the kpop industry as a whole) for her weight and those people deserve to be exposed for that, but outing relationships between members and male idols and outing an LGBT idol is just PETTY and UNNECESSARY. Any pity I had for Kyla evaporated upon reading that. She’s clearly a wounded lil girl that lashed out for attention

The outing part was especially upsetting but what needs to be said is that I've seen people repeat that part a lot but I've never seen any proof for it while for other things there was proof

Quote from Eldeweiss

Kyla was made the perfect scapegoat for Pristin's hectic career way before the disbandement since she was accused by both Korean and International Kpop fan of dragging down the group because of her weight. It was really horrible.
