Fans of the K-pop group (G)I-DLE are voicing their disappointment over the group’s lack of communication on paid platforms, with leader and producer Jeon Soyeon facing significant criticism.
Lately, online communities have been buzzing with (G)I-DLE fans expressing their dissatisfaction over the group’s sparse communication, despite fans paying for these services. The fans feel that the number of interactions from (G)I-DLE members is far too few.
The disappointment was particularly palpable on the day of their recent 6th debut anniversary, when none of the members took to the platform to share a greeting.
A post from a well-known Jeon Soyeon fan has been gaining traction and sympathy. The fan urged Jeon Soyeon to remember her role as an idol first, before being a producer, and to communicate more. They revealed that since the paid communication platform started last April, Jeon Soyeon has only interacted once this year.
The fan expressed their frustration, saying, “If you’re bored or have nothing to do, it would be nice if you dropped by once instead of posting random pictures. Other fans turn off notifications because they’re too frequent, but all I see are app update notifications.”
The fan also stressed that they’ve brought up this issue with Jeon Soyeon several times, but with no changes even by the debut anniversary, they felt compelled to speak out.
As the post circulates, netizens are sharing their thoughts. Many empathize with the fan, expressing sentiments like, “It’s sad to see a core fan of Jeon Soyeon so upset,” “She shouldn’t neglect her fans,” “She should prioritize being an idol,” and “It’s unfair to make fans beg for interaction.”
There are also numerous comments suggesting the fan should quit the fandom, with remarks such as “This is still love. Just leave the fandom,” “Why pay to be ignored,” and “Unsubscribe and support other idols.”
In other news, (G)I-DLE made a comeback earlier this year with their 2nd full album featuring the title song ‘Super Lady.‘ However, they had to halt activities due to health issues among the members. They have since resumed activities and are enjoying the success of their track ‘I hate being sick.’
