Yet, it quickly turned sour after Ricky revealed that the company had mimicked his writing for the picture and hadn’t even asked permission.
- Why do people still mimic my handwriting when writing?
- trailer hahaha
- The handwriting mimics quite well.
- But next time, it would be even better if you get my permission first.
- In the lead film
It sparked major anger among fans that WAKEONE would do something like that to Ricky, amid other criticism towards the company regarding the handling of their groups.
so fuckass wk1 had someone forge ricky’s handwriting without his permission? and then didn’t care to include gyuvin’s interview portion in the concept film… this company never fails to surprise me even with the bar being six feet under

they could have just asked him but no instead they studied his handwriting and probably asked someone to practise to perfect it 💀 USED ricky and gyuvin as clickbait too…
