FNC Entertainment Apologizes For Degrading SF9 In Collaboration Webtoon
FNC Entertainment recently released a special collaboration webtoon as part of the promotions of SF9’s mini album “Sensuous”.
The first episode, which was released on July 24th has been receiving much criticism for “degrading” SF9 as they were portrayed as a failed idol group.
When FNC Entertainment was in a meeting with an American agency, the webtoon pointed out SF9’s unimpressive sales figures and referred to them as “untalented, obscure idols”. Moreover, the members in the webtoon were training while doing part-time jobs at the gas station.
Fans were not impressed with how SF9 was portrayed in the webtoon and could not understand the intentions of the webtoon.
이게 뭐하는짓인지… 웹툰을 만든 의도가 뭔가요? 소속사 선배들과 음원성적 비교해서 깎아내리고, 또 갓스물 된 애가 어떤 마음으로 그런 가사를 썼을까요. 아티스트에 대한 예의가 아니라 사람 대 사람으로 정말 무례하네요. 평소 애들 대우가 어떻길래 아무런 문제의식 없이 이걸 올리죠?ㅋㅋ

“What are they trying to do… What as the purpose of making this webtoon? They not only compare the album sales to other successful idols in the agency, how could a 20-year-old write lyrics like that? This is not about disrespect towards an artist, it’s disrespectful as a person. How do they usually treat the artists that this kind of content is posted without any consideration?”
이 웹툰 멤버들도 분명 볼텐데 … 회사가 그룹 케어는 못해줄 망정 내용이 듣보녜 뭐녜 아주 절벽까지 몰아가는 ㅋㅋ 멤버들이 노력을 안했나요? 하라는 대로 다 하는데요 건강도 신경 안쓰고 활동 시키면서 웹툰 내용 그저 웃기고요 ㅋㅋ 회장님 웹툰인가요?

“The members will probably see this webtoon too… They completely degraded the group let alone support them… Did the members not work hard? They do everything they’re told and while the company makes them do promotions without even regard to their health, the content of the webtoon is just ridiculous.”
웹툰 누가 보면 개쳐망해서 새앨범 나오는게 기적인 그룹으로 그려놓으셨네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ @SF9_FANCLUB @FNC_ENT

“You made it seem like the group was such a failure that it’s a miracle that they’re making a new album lol.”
Fans are apparently more even disappointed because of the fact that the creator of the webtoon, Hyunmadam, is an acquaintance of Rowoon as the two met on the program Sundabang.
As a result, FNC Entertainment posted an official apology for the content that has offended many fans.
Despite the apology, fans continue to express their disapproval of the webtoon and demand that it be deleted.
너넨 취미가 사과문 같지도 않은 사과문 올리시는일이예요? 대충 올리고 잠재우시려고요? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이미 올려진 웹툰은 삭제 안하실거예요? ㅋㅋㅋ 애들 노력 잘 아시면 이런 내용으로 제작하지 말았어야죠 ~ ㅋㅋ 몇줄 안되는 해명글 잘 봤습니다~ ㅎㅎ

“Is it a hobby of your agency to post apologies that don’t even sound like apologies? Are you trying to put the issue to sleep with that insincere apology? You’re not going to delete the posted webtoon? You should’ve known better than to produce such content when you’re well aware of how hard our members worked~ Thanks a lot for the short explanation~”
넘어갈거 같냐고 그리고 우리 멘션 다 보고있었으니까 저런글 올린거잖아요 근데 왜 웹툰 안내려요? 저거 내린다고 컴백에지장있는거 아니고 생각이있으면 문제되는건 내려야하는게 맞는거에요. 아 생각이없구나 참..

“So why aren’t you deleting the webtoon? Deleting that webtoon isn’t going to affect their comeback and it’s only right to remove it if it’s causing a problem. You are seriously so ignorant…”
그래서 이 웹툰 계속 올리실거예요? https://t.co/K15nDgD59K
