2021 MBC Gayo, from the collaboration stage of Wonyoung and Miyoung
2021 MBC歌謡、ウォニョン〜ミヨンたちのコラボステージから
★ "2021 MBC Gayo Daejeon" will be broadcast from 20:40 on December 31st. Members of (G)I-DLE, ITZY, and IVE performed a collaboration stage.
Participating on stage were "(G)I-DLE" Miyoung, "ITZY" Yeji, "IVE" Yujin & Wonyoung, and Kim Minju, formerly of "IZ*ONE".
The five performed f(x)'s 2013 hit song "Rum Pum Pum Pum".
I watched the five of them perform on stage, and I got the impression that Minju's visuals and glamour were something IVE needed.
With Minju in the group, IVE's popularity would have been even greater. IVE is already a 120-point performer, so this is just a New Year's wish, but... Watching Miyeon's performance, I felt it was a shame that (G)I-DLE's stage had disappeared from the public eye.
The group was forced to take a break due to the school violence scandal involving one of the members, Soojin (who has since left the group), which left leader Soyeon, Yugi, Shuhwa, Miyeon, Minnie, and others with no choice but to pursue solo activities.
After all that happened and the negotiations, it was only natural that Soojin, who was the one involved in the scandal, would have taken responsibility and left the group, but it was hard to understand from a fan's perspective that the other members were also unable to perform.
It is natural, from the principle of competition, for other agencies to eat into the fandom of (G)I-DLE when they are unable to perform.
(G)I-DLE could not stand by and watch their fandom being destroyed, so they continued their activities without Soojin, but they received backlash from viewers (fans) and soon stopped performing.
It was the agency's fault for hiring and using Soojin, who had a bad reputation, and if they incurred the ire of people who thought that the members should not be active (?), the other members might be looked upon in the same light.
Watching Miyeon's singing and dancing perform with Wonyoung, Yujin, Yeji, and Minju, Miyeon's skills looked great on stage, just like Wonyoung and the others.
Why do viewers turn their backs on Soyeon, Yugi, Shuhua, and Minnie when they perform on stage?
Soojin is no longer a member of (G)I-DLE. I don't know how (G)I-DLE will recover from this, but whether they continue as a 5-member group or add more members and restart their activities, I hope Korean audiences will separate Soojin from the group and start watching (G)I-DLE's activities from the beginning.
