Yeah fuck those agencies that literally made these decisions WITHOUT one member. Why would you leave this decision in the hands of a bunch of greedy old men. Why not actually let the members come? “Children” aren’t stupid, this was their ducking future.
And an even bigger fuck you goes out to E and the companies that rejected giving the fans some closure. I cannot believe this, they took away someone’s last opportunity and family for what? A “clean record”? Money? Yeah just fuck everything about this.

I guess it was to be expected anyway but the very least that they could have done for the members was to let them have the choice as to whether or not to continue. Not the agencies and especially not the agencies who paid their way through and is the cause for all this mess to begin with.

I don’t think X1 should of continued because the scandal just got too big, but I also don’t understand why the members weren’t able to be part of the final decision...

Hangyul fighting!!!

I think this is beyond the members and the agencies opinions. Like i said in the other thread, the disband was the best option and that's pretty much it.

The future of 11 boys/young men was decided by a 10 minute vote conducted by a bunch of middle-aged men sitting around a table saying there was no point in having the members present in the room.

Also, anyone who says this was the best possible outcome because it "protects" the boys is now proven wrong because, as most fans already speculated, the members themselves personally wanted to attend the meeting and state that they wanted to stay together as a group. Their opinions were basically considered worthless by those agency reps.

To make matters worse, an already recorded song that would have been a farewell gift to fans has now been scrapped and will probably never be heard by anyone along with the chance of putting out a final greeting video.

Dispatch may have some shitty moments at times but boy am I glad this came out. Now those agencies can't masquerade as the "good guys" and act like they had the members' best interests at heart. They sat on a gold mine and now they've thrown it all away.

Don't know if this was a reason, but it's a good thing the members weren't involved as they'd [be] personally criticized whether they decided to continue or not. Vote to continue? Boooooo. Vote not to continue? Boooooo. Same reasoning holds true for IZ*One. This way the agencies take the brunt of the blame.
