fromis_9 Chaeyoung frustrated opens about lack of group comebacks

As if Hybe doesn't have enough drama already

bartkun

how long do they have left on their contract and are they likely to renew?

Quote from bartkun

this is the only thing we know about details

but it isn't much it was revealed during time when Pledis announced Gyuri's departure

so basically eight members signed new exclusive contracts with Pledis on August 2021, but we still don't know how long those contracts are

interesting

I doubt those are full 7 year contracts but maybe 3 or 5 year ones

and if they are three year ones then they are up for renewal in August

Quote from bartkun

also I mentioned already in other thread they are the only group from HYBE which is doing festival/concerts without comeback set

and also lot of variety show activities

individual ones? or group ones?

since normally if individual variety shows and other solo gigs are more representative of "bitch, I'm going solo" lol

I think she is right, but if they get a dud song, it is not worth having a comeback.

Bc u don't sell uohvjkk

I don't think you should put in a dungeon group which sold 190k + 190k with last two albums :)

Pledis and Hybe shouldn't throw them to the dungeon but after seeing this number, it's expected why they being treated like that. All Hybe new groups are selling 500k above while all the seniors selling 1m+ above. 190k is not worth it for them while it's enough for smaller companies. So, for now it's obvious that Pledis and Hybe just want them to make money from some small gigs while waiting their contract to end.

Fromis is just another Nuest and Gfriend for Hybe. This company is just that heartless. At least I'm glad Gyuri left to pursue her acting careers, if not she will waste her potential too.

As she should

HYBE bought Pledis for SVT and nothing else. Fromis_9 sales definitely aren’t breaking even and it’s probably operating at a loss. And even if they are making a slight profit, companies might not even find all the work for a slight profit worth it.

They basically need music for festivals and that will be their income.

I think pledis was willing to subsidize Fromis but HYBE is trying make back their money, so losing money isn’t worth it.

Maybe Waterbomb will help them get more hype and fans.

they have a lot of summer cbs, maybe they'll have one in june before their waterbomb performance

tbh fromis have "visual" and their voice is good, i do wonder why this group suffer from lack attention
