BREAKING NEWS WEEEKLY have terminated their contract with IST Ent

[fromisEJel]

Not surprised. IST is a shitty company who do not know how to promote them well even with great success of After School




So far, Soojin, Jaehee and Monday have confirmed it on Weverse

Had such high expectations from this group since After School was one of the standout K-pop songs of 2021 but unfortunately things didn't pan out the way they should have

 

[Seriously]

Not shocked in the slightest. Everything fell to bits after Jiyoon leaving and that AWFUL concept change.

Shame, because they started brilliantly.

Ven Para is a masterclass of how to totally tank your group. After School is an all timer and  one lukewarm comeback got the company so scared they decided to do one or the worst rebrands of all time?

They had massive traction with orbits adopting weeekly en masse and a stellar lineup of girls (the visuals, the dance line, one of the best main vocals in years?) only to nosedive not even a year after their breakout hit and then dungeon them. They could have been huge.

I’m sad but not surprised. The writing was on the wall that IST was going to crumble when The Boyz (their only income really) left. After IST got bought out and they announced there would be a complete restructuring I sort of had a gut feeling all the remaining artists (ATBO, Weekly, and isn’t one singular Apink member left? Maybe not?) might all get kicked to the curb cause it seems to me they want to restart IST from scratch.

The announcement is saying they are leaving IST, not disbanding. I hope this means maybe they can regroup elsewhere? (I’d be hilarious if they joined TBZ under 100)

Eunji still under IST. But maybe not for long
