fromis_9 - "Girlgroup cheating": The whole career is encapsulated by scandals, claiming to be "BTS juniors"

Looking back at fromis_9's career of more than 4 years, the most memorable thing about the group is just... scandals and controversies.

Mnet's "Failed Child"

fromis_9 is a group from Mnet's reality s.how Idol School in 2017. By early January 2018, fromis_9 officially debuted with a lineup of 9 members: Roh Ji Sun, Song Ha Young, Lee Sae Rom, Lee Chae Young, Lee Na Kyung, Park Ji Won, Lee Seo Yeon, Baek Ji Heon, and Jang Gyu Ri.

Although it is the same survival s.how produced by Mnet, Idol School has a very sad fate, ending after only one season of broadcasting, in stark contrast to the resounding success of the Produce series. Therefore, the debut of fromis_9 did not attract much attention from the audience.

Even member Gyuri, after debuting with fromis_9 for a few months, had to continue to participate in Produce 48 to attract attention for his group. But unfortunately, she only stopped at 25th place and did not help the name of fromis_9 get any more noticeable progress.

The first time I got noticed was when I got into a scandal

fromis_9 only really caught the attention of the public when the vote rigging scandal on Mnet's survival programs broke out in November 2020. During the trial in June 2021, the producer side of Idol School admitted to manipulating votes, and fromis_9's debut lineup was a product of settlement, in which 3 contestants were recruited directly. , which means there are 3 girls who deserved to debut but were robbed of their positions.

In particular, Lee Haein was the contestant who won the highest number of votes, she was supposed to be the one to take the center position of fromis_9, but she was swapped positions by the production crew, lost the right to debut in a bad memory. . After that, Lee Hae In not only had difficulties in his career, but also fell into poverty. She worked many part-time jobs just to make ends meet, from working as a coffee shop worker, on a movie set, to working as a model to try on clothes.

Therefore, fromis_9, which is already an unpopular one, now makes the public have a negative view.

4 years of struggling to get the first victory

3 months after the scandalous scandal trial, on September 7, 2021, fromis_9 won the first win on The S.how with the song "Talk & Talk". Since coming out of the s.how "Idol School", it has taken the group nearly 4 years to get their hands on the first trophy in their career.

Usually, groups that take a long time to win such a first trophy will be greeted by netizens with many warm congratulations for their perseverance and efforts. But fromis_9 is an exception. Because the previous noise had just subsided not long ago, now it has had the opportunity to rise again, so Knet's hate attitude towards the group is very strong, the comments are full of sarcasm and criticism, even even simultaneously demanded that the group disband.

As soon as it emerged, there was a series of serious insults

Just got such a remarkable achievement, but less than a month later, fromis_9 fell into trouble again because of careless statements. On the broadcast of TMI News, when the HYBE group was mentioned, two fromis_9 members Jang Gyuri and Lee Chaeyoung repeatedly exclaimed, "That's our company. Our company is really impressive, isn't it?" no?", even calling president Bang Sihyuk "our president".

Constantly emphasizing and showing their connection to a b.ig company like HYBE makes Knet think that these girls are... seeing people dress up as them, wanting to be BTS' juniors. Although the group's management company Pledis is indeed a subsidiary of HYBE, Pledis operates completely independently, which means that fromis_9 has nothing to do with receiving its corporate relationship like that. Moreover, their CEO must be Han Sung Soo - CEO of Pledis, why is Chairman Bang Sihyuk suddenly dragged in?

Closing the Talk & Talk promotion period with many criticisms, fromis_9's latest comeback with DM also fell into the same situation. Recently, after w.inning two trophies on the s.how, a sign of prosperity for the group's career, the leader Saerom had a serious insult that adversely affected the group's image.

During the livestream chat with fans, Sae Rom didn't know that the conversation had started, so Sae Rom lamented one sentence: "It's boring to die, I just want to go home quickly." This statement was severely criticized by Knet, saying that this is an unacceptable attitude from an idol. Sweet talk in front of fans but behind the camera turns out to be all lies.

After that, Saerom explained above that he was just talking about the quarantine situation after member Seoyeon in the same group was infected with Covid-19 and not disgusted with interacting with fans as everyone understood. like sending an apology to everyone for causing a b.ig shock.

But it is undeniable that this incident has once again made the list of fromis_9's scandals even thicker. Already an unimpressive name and still constantly entangled in such a scandal, where will the future of fromis_9 go?
