The biggest flop girl group HYBE went on livestream to complain, finally making a comeback

After a member went on a livestream to complain, causing fans to put pressure on the management company, HYBE recently made a move for fromis_9 to return to the music race in the near future.

fromis_9 is a music group formed from the "survival" show Idol School (2017). However, since their debut, this group has been constantly entangled in controversy and has been labeled a "fraudulent group" and "Mnet's failed child". Or because of the same company as BTS, fromis_9 is also considered "BTS's infamous junior". Besides, the loudmouthing of fromis_9 members was also the reason why the online community was fed up and hoped the group would disband soon.

Before Pledis merged into HYBE, fromis_9 had some significant musical activities, but the fraud "scandal" caused the members to struggle and maintain a lackluster career until now. Because of its poor performance, few people know fromis_9 as a group under HYBE.

Recently, fromis_9 member Chaeyoung lamented on a live session: "Why are we the only ones who have to wait so long to be active? Why is it only fromis_9? It's so sad." The female idol's statement made fans sad.

The group's most recent comeback was with Unlock My World in June 2023, which can be seen to have been neglected for nearly a year. Many people think that because fromis_9 "flop" there is no investment in promotion. Despite having a solid HYBE foundation, fromis_9's career shows no signs of improving, while fellow seniors SEVENTEEN are rising like a "kite in the wind". Many people also criticized Pledis for wasting female idols' time, predicting that fromis_9 will soon cut the contract with the company.

After Chaeyoung "complained unjustly", on the morning of May 13, Pledis Entertainment announced the schedule and comeback plan for fromis_9. The company said it has received many requests fromis_9 to appear at the university festival. In response to fans' requests, Pledis considered the group's schedule. fromis_9 will have a schedule of performing at university festivals throughout May, participating in the group's Weverse Con Festival in September, Waterbomb Tour in July and extending the stage until early August.

In addition, Pledis also said that they are preparing for the group's comeback in the second half of the year: "Preparations for fromis_9's comeback are proceeding without any problems. This year, we plan to introduce not only music but also various activities such as special photo exhibitions. We will do our best to support the group's comeback."

Similar to their juniors ILLIT, fromis_9 is a group that originated from a reality show called Idol School on Mnet in 2017. In 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 a survival show produced by Mnet, Idol School has an extremely sad fate, ending after only one broadcast season, in complete contrast to the resounding success of the Produce series. Therefore, fromis_9's debut did not receive much attention from the audience. The group was even dubbed the "failed child" of Mnet.

fromis_9 only really caught the public's attention when the vote-rigging scandal in Mnet's survival shows broke out in November 2020. During the trial in June 2021, the producers of Idol School admitted to manipulating the votes, fromis_9's debut lineup was an arranged product, including 3 contestants who were "specially" recruited directly. , which means that there are 3 girls who deserved to debut but were robbed of their positions.

Therefore, fromis_9, which was already unpopular, has now given the public an even more negative view. Due to the public's harshness about this vote-rigging scandal, X1, who had just released their debut product, was forced to disband. IZ*ONE also experienced the last days of their activities filled with "criticism". fromis_9 was also criticized a lot, but due to their lackluster reputation and not being under too much pressure from the public, the group continued to maintain their activities.
