Tasty Is Not Having Woolim's BS

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

Follow up to posts one and two.
Edit: Updated to include Woolim's response

Twin duo TASTY has responded to Woollim Entertainment‘s recent statement regarding the group about their supposed “disappearance.”

Soon after the Korean agency released their side regarding TASTY’s sudden and one-sided decision to withdraw from their Korean activities, posted through their Weibo, the brothers took to their Twitter account this time and responded in Korean:

??얘기안하고일방적으로잠적한거라뇨?전에이사님들이랑사장님이랑얘기한건다뭐죠???이해할수없는건저희입장을충분히말씀드렷고또회사에서이해한다고해놓고선...지금와서는갑자기사라진것처럼일방적인잠적이라니...이해가안가네요.

“??What do you mean we independently disappeared without talking? What are all the discussions we had with you CEO and all the directors??? I can’t understand this from my point of view since we have already talked to you guys and you all complied that the company will understand… how can you say now that we solely disappeared without talking…. I can’t understand.”

신곡녹음완료라뇨?맴버들의의견을듣지도않고일방적으로곡을선택하고이번곡을타이틀로받아드리지않는다면우리의컴백은또언제까지미뤄질지모른다고얘기한사람은누구엿죠?하나하나다얘기하는걸귀찬아하는성격들인데하나하나얘기할때가왓네요

“What do you mean by ‘the new song has finished recording’? Who was the one independently forcing the title song to us without listening to any of the member’s opinions and threatening us that our ‘comeback will be pushed back’ if we don’t listen to you? I’m a person who gets annoyed of speaking out every little detail, but I guess the time has come to tell every single thing one by one.”



WOOLIM'S RESPONSE
In regards to TASTY, a Woollim Entertainment staff member told StarNews: “It is true that we have discussed regarding how they were having a difficult time but we have never discussed ending their activities in Korea,” and that, “TASTY going to China without saying anything is true and that we couldn’t reach them at some point is a fact.”

He continued to say that, “the most important truth is that they didn’t even tell their own entertainment agency before leaving to China and we have been waiting for them to contact back. We hope to discuss terms in other ways than via SNS.”

Yes!!!!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE SPEAKS.

I have to talk about how angry I am over the discourse rn:

1. Infinite fans talking about how Woolim does indeed suck bc they do "nothing for Infinite" in Tasty threads

2. People claiming it's Tasty's fault they never got popular and all groups don't get popular bc they have bad members, not bc the company doesn't promote.

Infinite is LITERALLY a testament to how if you promote a group long enough, they'll pick up no matter what. Same with BTS. Same with Boyfriend. Holy crap.

A lot of Inspirits are latching onto the argument the completely wrong way. Woollim mismanages Infinite on a much different level than they did Tasty; trying to compare the two is like apples to oranges. Both situations are indicative of long-standing issues within the company and Woollim needs to get dragged for having terrible management all around. This thing with Tasty is just going to be just the first of many things to rear their ugly head, I think.

Netizens hating on Chinese in three, two, one....

[djeedjes.livejournal.com]

They already did..see teh Netizenbuzz's translation.
Woolim knew this would happened hence the PR talk a la SME so people would pull the race card..

[ladydess.livejournal.com]

Well shit.

[raisinrum.livejournal.com]

wow it's getting interesting.

Where is the Jaejoong eating popcorn gif? Is this scandal not worthy?

“It is true that we have discussed..."
“the most important truth is..."

lmaaaaoooo
Well it's still unclear what their situation is re: their contract but I hope they have everything in order and have success in China.

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

It's like there are truths that are less important, interesting lol

[huanyia.livejournal.com]

shit just got real.

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

Tasty had those receipts ready.

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

The way things are going, I expect them to have a voice recording of the Woolim CEO threatening to kill them or something super crazy like that. Just in case Woolim tries to play hardball.

[stutterflies.livejournal.com]

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

lol

[canxi.livejournal.com]

Lol they had those clapbacks on hold.

[iftheshoefits88.livejournal.com]

woolim is just being the worst. just let them go since you guys arent doing shit for them

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

yes spill it! justice for tasty

[v-glace.livejournal.com]

can't woollim let them leave peacefully? why are things escalating on social media??? i thought this would be an amicable split, but that's pretty impossible in kpop huh.....

[kjc48.livejournal.com]

I see Tasty is going to go the Tao route aka the BEST route. Saves money and gets you back on your feet as soon as you land in China. #exomimpact2015

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

2015 is a gift.

I'm always here for these big ass companies being dragged a little. I know that they will still have money and power at the end of the day, but it's always good to see a little exposure here and there. lol

[madielou.livejournal.com]

they can join tao for his comeback and become ztasty

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

or taosty LOL

[http://users.livejournal.com/reminisce__/]

these management companies are killing me - so many amazingly talented groups and their careers are going straight to hell because of mismanagement. kpop has been in such an awful drought since 2011 and i'm so tired of it :(((

They're all leaving SM one way or another.....
Fly away tasty twins

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

It's crazy how all of this is unfolded. Just the other day I was wondering if I'd ever get to see them promote again. They've been in the basement for awhile, Woolim just seemed to not care about them anymore. Woolim is pulling some mess with the victim card; it's a shame.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

Woolim is owned by SMCC so basically

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

basically they lied first & when tasty came ready they were like "well...that is the truth but they're still wrong!"

[velveteenkitten.livejournal.com]

well, of course.

Fly away, little birds, fly free.

[musuu.livejournal.com]

Time is money. Woollim is a business. Not agreeing with the company for your comeback? Then you lose your spot until they can rotate you back in. People complain that they don't have enough promo or they are in Woollim's basement but last year they got three music videos. They just do better in China, so that's why we don't hear from them as often as when they are having a Korean comeback. So now Tasty lost their money and comeback for the year so they ran off to China.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

can I know more about the disagreement over comeback you'ew mentioning?
