The news sparked a debate among fans. fromis_9 was originally formed during the show School of idols. They were initially managed by Off-the-record entertainment. They moved to Pledis Entertainment in 2021 and later merged MOVES when Pledis Entertainment was acquired by the company. Many fans credit the label for their good songs and improved production after the move. Therefore, one side believes that Pledis Entertainment has done its duty for the girls. Another part of the fans believes that the label has let the girls down.
- Isn’t it just that they couldn’t renew contracts during renewal season? What do you mean this is a rude ending?
- Pledis did nothing wrong.
- They were a group destined for dissolution in the first place, right? They ended the contract anyway.
- fromis_9 still managed to promote for so long thanks to Pledis.
- It was because they went to Pledis that they could promote longer.
- Pledis never concludes anything correctly. What a trashy company.
- Huh? They hit a career high this year and were starting to get some reactions, weren’t they? Suddenly this? Is it because they don’t earn much?
- Didn’t they do well this time?
fromis_9’s career has been slowly gaining traction, with the girls peaking thanks to recent releases like “DM” and their latest track, “Supersonic.” The sudden news shocked fans who were expecting a renewal, but many accepted it as the girls’ original firing date had been known for some time.
