More and more I'm beginning to suspect that Cube is bringing the hammer down hard on E'Dawn for him and Hyuna confirming their relationship against the company's wishes. Excluding a member from a comeback because of a dating scandal is unlike anything I've seen before. Either that or he's not ready to return or they think him being back will hurt the group more than help. At any rate I'm glad Yanan is getting to rest.

Honestly this was supposed to be Pentagon's year but its become a disaster.Should have just nixed Triple H and comeback after Shine a lot sooner

On that note about a member being exuded from a comeback becuase of a dating scandal:

I'm going to point you in the direction of Super Junior's Sungmin, who got married, enlisted and then came back to such a massive for from the Korean ELF fandom (and some others), that he's not been with Super Junior since early 2017

Wasn't Hyuna supposed to comeback late this month? so now we have Pentagon instad, except E'dawn is not promoting.
I really hope it's their decision and they aren't ready to promote yet, but seeing how Cube reacted and created a much bigger mess, I'm more thinking of a punishment so I'm PISSED OFF. And worried. Bringing back Pentagon with E'dawn more in the back compared to previous comebacks seemed good to test waters but this???
I hope Yanan's health get better :(

yes hyuna was supposed to comeback after triple h,
but maybe she's the one who wants to push it back, remember how extremely nervous she was @ triple h's last performance, when she even tripped and fell down? maybe she's too nervous idk
or cube is punishing her as well i don't know

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I really hope she's the one who decided to push back: she's a solo artist so she can't rely on group dynamics anymore, even though her fans seemed to react well to the news
But the way Cube is acting with E'dawn makes me really nervous for them

[katheli.livejournal.com]

Cube is handling this horribly. Are they really that mad that he confirmed to be dating? Other groups have had "dating scandals" before and the members weren't excluded and while it was always difficult, it probably helped more to smooth things over than this. Is this supposed to warn the others not to date? What is the purpose?

Pentagon were on the rise with Shine but now the only thing I associate with them is this stuff. Also makes me feel like supporting their next comeback is essentially rewarding Cube for punishing E'Dawn.

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

This to your last point. I was this close to starting supporting them actively in Japan, specially because I have liked their past 3 releases a lot, but Cube’s way of dealing with this has pissed me off so much idk if I can do it, tbh.

See I'm seeing a lot of people say they don't want to support the group this comeback because E'Dawn is gone but that's just going to end up giving the k-fandom more importance that way and validating the thinking that ifans support doesn't mean shit because Pentagon is 9 other people apart from E'Dawn. Why should the other 9 boys have to bear the brunt of other people's choices (In this Cube and E'Dawns)? I've seen Yanan's c-fans saying they'll still be supporting the comeback even though he's on the hiatus and that's the attitude that needs to prevail. Fans can and should express how much they want E'Dawn back but support the group.

[katheli.livejournal.com]

but Yanan is out because he's got health issues, that's different IMO. Ofc it's good if his fans still support the group, shows that they're not just solo stans. But this really looks like a punishment, which would be tacitly supported.

the problem is always that the company will do what they want anyways. And they know they can do what they want because the fans will end up putting their money in it either way. But yeah, the group obviously doesn't deserve it.

this is like watchin a train crash in slow motion

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Tragic. E’Dawn better have a backup plan in the works.

[babyjenkski.livejournal.com]

Happy they'll have their comeback but sad because its not gonna be all 10.

I don't really know what's happening inside of CUBE and I've always appreciated/liked how they handle their issues so I'm not gonna say they're a mess for doing this. I just want to hear from Edawn and know how he's doing.

Be healthy Yanan!

[921227.livejournal.com]

This handling seems so much like punishment to edawn (and hyuna in a way) & a really heavy handed warning to other idols like keep your place it all makes me feel sick to my stomach just like with Sungmin

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely insane. I didn’t think it would happen but, at this rate E’Dawn will eventually be kicked from the group. I feel so bad for him especially since Pentagon was on the rise.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Cube is being extremely stupid
Either delay the whole comebacl ot let it go as planned, with the whole group

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

They're handling this in the worst way possible which is just sad to see for the guys. They could've catapulted themselves to be a top boy group with this cb after shine and Cube is just throwing all of that potential away.

[ohbubbajoan.livejournal.com]

Cube is insane. They have one member out so he can take care of his mental health while they fuck another member over? I can only imagine how E’Dawn must be feeling over this, not to mention the mood around the whole group in general.Pretty sure we won't see E’Dawn again this year,
Does anyone knows how kunis are taking this?

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

Wellllp.

[lulufairybubble.livejournal.com]

I say this as a Yuto bias...E'Dawn is Pentagon. You cant have the same group without him. Shine is an amazing song but let us not ignore that E'Dawn's voice and ways added so much to it.

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

MTE, he stands out from the others and makes Pentagon stand out from other groups, also.

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

i can't imagine what's going through the rest of the members' heads right now, they must feel so scared of what will happen if this comeback is a flop :(

[mikachi613.livejournal.com]

I'm livid. Shine was the breakout song of the year and gave the boys so much momentum and potential, and Cube just flat out ruined all of that. Unless E'Dawn himself requested not to participate (which I doubt since he's been silent through this whole affair), this is overreacting and harsh punishment for his "mistake."
I'm mad that he's the only one suffering here (even though nobody should suffer), and honestly they should've let HyunA have her comeback first because everyone knows her fans don't care about this one bit.

[thebloomroom.livejournal.com]

This is so stupid.

[hozrien.livejournal.com]

Cube is just being really stupid right now.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

so i assume hyuna's comeback is also scratched? since she was supposed to come back right after triple h... i hope sis takes edawn with her and runs far away.

at this point i'm just waiting for them to announce his enlistment.

[mikachi613.livejournal.com]

If she leaves, they only have BTOB for cash money, so they would take her seriously

[evilcoc0nut.livejournal.com]

You can keep it, Cube.

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

i think the only thing they can do right now is announce a break up and slowely add him into the group

[chenetic.livejournal.com]

How long are they really going to delay this????
It's going to be a bad reception.. unless there really are a lot of fans who hate the idea of idols having love lives..

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

i'm so upset :(

[10135.livejournal.com]

Cube are fools.
