The representative of WonderGirls fan union revealed that their request for fan conference with JYP Entertainment has been rejected on 23rd January.
It has been known that fans requested for a conference with JYP CEO Park Jin Young regarding the shocking news of SunMi’s sudden leaving of the group, but it was rejected. According to the fans, JYP has personally rejected the request.
The representative of the fan union announced on 27th January, “We are still in shock and confused state of SunMi’s leaving of the group. Such an important piece of news and it was released through WonderGirls American homepage and not through the fanclub, explaining it briefly in a few sentence in English. We are disappointed with the way JYP announced it.”
“We have been waiting for JYP’s sincere answer but until now we have not heard anything. And when we request for conference, they simply told us that they will reject it.”
It has been known that the fan union had given JYP 4 conditions on 23rd January:
- There is a need to explain clearly about SunMi’s activities discontinuity. And when will the discussion and official announcement about the case be released.
- Clear explanation about new member HyeRim’s status. This is because in the announcement posted on JYP American website, it is known that SunMi may have her comeback in the future.
- SunMi’s fanmeeting. WonderGirls will meet with fans personally and establish a consensus, and also do a goodbye stage, since the last stage they had was during their Seoul concert last March.
- JYP to apologise for their unilateral communication.
EDIT: JYP, wondergirls will hold dialogue with fans
It has been known on 27th January that a WonderGirls fan union's request for conferece with JYP Entertainment has been turned down by Park Jinyoung himself.
The 4 major fansites Wonderful, ByeolHa, Wonderholic and WonderGirlsWorld are known to have submitted a request to JYP Entertainment for a conference on 23rd January.
With that JYP posted up an announcement on their official homepage after that saying, “We will open a window of communication by demand of the fans.”
JYP is also aware of some of the criticisms going on about the WonderGirls’ promotions in America, “After using the contract approved by the Fair Trade Commission, all the decisions regarding the celebrities are carried out through the consensus of the celebrities.”
Also, “All the questions which we have received recently, we will be revealing the official stand and answers to them via postings. And all the notes pasted on our building situated in Seoul CheongDamDong every 24 hours will be kept safely with our company through photos taken every 24 hours.”

Date: 2010-01-27 02:29 pm (UTC)I mean it's not like their ridiculous to fullfill
they just want to know if when Sunmi comes back if she will still be a WonderGirl or if HyeRim is a permanent member
and they just want to see Sunmi "one last time" as fans, I mean they have ben in America all this time
I'm gonna hate saying this... but AKP's article explained their wishes a lot better than this....

Date: 2010-01-27 02:30 pm (UTC)Not ALL of them, but I do think it's fair to ask for clearer explanations of the status of the new member, and just generally clear everything up that I know some people have been wondering about.
However, I don't think they should be expecting JYP to apologize and organize a goodbye stage, because they don't have to do that.

"4. JYP to apologise for their unilateral communication."
Every company should apologize for this then. Official announcements and PR are unilateral by nature. It isn't good for any business to disclose every single information and personal reasons all the time. If you have any doubts about something, give the company a call or send an e-mail. If the answer is "we're not allowed to talk about this at the moment", deal with it, the intent is not to make you distressed or to be "evil", more important things are at play.
OT: the focus kpop fandom has on the CEOs sometimes irks me. Even if he's the one announcing it, there's a board and meetings to decide this sort of thing, stop crucifying. And there's always monetary reasons involved, our adored groups wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for money.

Oh! Some sense in a comment? Good.
Honestly I do agree a lot with what you just pointed out. Fans sometimes need to be more reasonable. This is an industry. People there are here to make money. That's just a fact.

since when can fans order companies around?? Seriously, what kind of answer did they expect?
no subject
Date: 2010-01-27 02:36 pm (UTC)JYP should do 1. and 2. imo.
The fanmeeting is going too far and the apology too though.
Also idk but i'd like to hear Sunmi explain her intentions for herself but idk if thats possible i guess.

Date: 2010-01-27 02:37 pm (UTC)i thought JYPE had explained things properly in korea, but just giving these news in a few english words is totally dismissing korean fans...
though requesting for a sunmi fanmeeting is too much, when she already stated her opinion for leaving wondergirls

JYPE doesn't have to apologize for their decisions. Just a clarification will do, they don't owe fans everything.
