Kinda expecting this. They're keeping up with 2 members out maybe to not highlight EDawn's not joining the group activities. Been reading fan accounts and a lot are saying it was an emotional 1st UNI birthday yesterday. Kino, Hui, Shinwon and Jinho cried (Jinho rarely shows his emotion but he really cried last yesterday). And they did not do their "Tentastic Pentagon" greeting. That for me says a lot.

On hairs, I'm amazed at how amazing Kino looks with his hair but then again I'm biased so he looks good in any color to me. Wooseok, looks like an avocado accd to Shinwon lmao. Bless the kid for being handsome, he's able to somehow pull it off. But I think he hates it. He's always wearing a cap/hat outside.

Welp :/ I think it’s over for Edawn if they wont even send him to the market where no one is upset at him. Smh. Cube is holding a grudge.

Yeah, I didn't really think about it before, but if there's a place to perform when fans would be like "good for you" or "just let them date, who cares" it would probably be the States.

It seems weird to not even let him perform there.

I read a fan account about the first anniversary fan meeting and while yanan appeared in the vcr's edawn wasn't acknowledged at all. And the guys cried or were close to tears the entire time.
This is so terrible, and while I understand things could've been handled better it's mostly cube's fault and now they're punishing edawn for it by pretending like he never existed which makes things even worse for them and the fans.

Damn, that's harsh...to not even include him in the VCR...I feel bad for Pentagon and also the sane fans :(

ugh, cube! regretting stanning for any cube groups post-4m rn, i should’ve stuck to my self-imposed ban 🤧😔 not that i can say i’m surprised... but i can’t stand them as 8

not opposed to wooseok’s hair but it’s an odd styling choice that his + hongseok’s are so short, imo. and jinho is blond!!!! come through, omg. his superior look

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

Hongseok did it for the show "Real Men" He will most likely let it grow out now.

This is just sad. Didn't expect Cube to hold this much resentment over it. I don't know why I'm so disappointed in them? It's not like they gave me a reason to believe they could handle this better, but they've been on a roll lately and I thought they might 'keep up the good work' no matter the circumstances...

[ohbubbajoan.livejournal.com]

After reading about about uni birthday I'm not even surprised. It's all incredible sad and not holding my breath to see how cube will keep handling it.
And judging by wooseok's hair cube is hating the whole group

[friedchickeneu.livejournal.com]

i'm not surprised especially after reading about edawn's vcr thing at their anniversary but cube is still dumb af for letting obsessive and delusional fans take over instead of being resilient over this.

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

i'm scared :'(

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

and not only of wooseok's hair

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

also it'd be nice if cube actually announced their absences. they didn't announce yanan's absence from KCON NY either. *eye rolling emoji*

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

So he really lost his job because he's simply dating? Imagine getting fired in the real world for that. "Sorry we can't employ you anymore, we found out you are in a relationship and this hurts our image"

I know people say that hyuna will be fine, but I wonder if cube scratched her summer comeback. It was supposed to be after triple h.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

It's strange that Yanan is missing from KCon when Jun & The8, who are on the same Chinese show, made it...

[weneedmedicine.livejournal.com]

Mte...I feel like he’s ready to ditch Pentagon tbh. He looks miserable all the time

[juhli.livejournal.com]

Really? Didn't he just post on weibo 10=1 or sth like that?
I thought it might be health issues...he had to go to the hospital while filming in China and even missed one filming block because of health issues...

[weneedmedicine.livejournal.com]

I’m not watching the show he’s on, so I didn’t know he was having health issues. I did see his weibo post. I was literally just judging this off his resting bitch face whoops.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

And OP, don't speak Octogon to existence!!!!

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

I only meant in terms of special unit performance! Not forever.

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

This is so upsettting to me, i was so wary of Cube after 4 Minute and I had only recently committed myself to properly stanning Pentagon. Ugh, its ridiculous they let fans have so much fucking power.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

the boys are clearly sad and annoyed with what's going on. people who went to uni birthday were saying how hui was completely different than his usual self and how they all felt like the boys had a lot to say but just couldn't. I wonder if any of them will eventually snap and say/hint something to show their annoyance and disagreement with how everything is being handled. I really don't get the ""fans"" who lead this whole situation to this point. are they happy to see the group they say they love that miserable? and I also feel really sad for edawn stans who still went to the event because they're also pentagon fans ofc, but couldn't even see him on the vcr's.

there's one thing I don't get... the ""fans"" who don't want to see edawn anymore are just more vocal than the part of the fandom who didn't want this situation or are they indeed the majority of their korean fandom? the korean fans who are want all of them together can't do anything about it? idk, it seems like everyone is annoyed by this situation but are also doing nothing to fight against it?

cube will end up making pentagon lose more fans than they would if edawn just kept doing his job. it's so ridiculous that infuriates me.

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

Cube is handling everything so badly smh. I'd even be willing to bet that these ridiculous fans are in the minority, but bc they're being so vocal about their rampant stupidity it seems bigger than it is Idk. And Edawn and Hui are friends so I'm sure Hui isn't happy about this either.

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

kind of scared to see how fans are gonna act during their performance tonight at kcon...i rly like edawn’s parts in shine so i’m probably not going to enjoy the performance as much as i’d like to

[10135.livejournal.com]

I feel really bad for Edawn and I hate Cube for what they're doing to him. Especially because in the USA no one cares about what is going on and they support Hyuna and Edawn. Soooo many dating scandals have happened (in kpop and otherwise) and they are usually temporary and with time correct themselves in the fan base. They're so scared of this "scandal" harming them that they are fucking with the members and that just isn't right. Because it's not only Edawn, it's Hui as well AND Hyuna, someone who has been with Cube for MANY years, solo and otherwise. Honestly, they should take something out of Hyuna and Edawns book and just let that shit go and be real with people. Artists should be allowed to have a life beyond their music and it just isn't right he's being penalized for it and it isn't right that Triple H was penalized for it either. I could go on and say that Pentagon is now penalized as well because their member is not able to perform with them and they have to adjust because of that. I'm just SO annoyed.
