(G)I-DLE’s Jeon So-yeon’s Lack of Interaction Draws Criticism From Fans

Facing criticism regarding (G)I-DLE members’ lack of interaction with fans, the one who received the most criticism was leader Jeon So-yeon.

(G)I-DLE fans are increasingly complaining about the lack of communication from members and they are particularly referring to the fact that they pay to subscribe to (G)I-DLE’s communication service, but that members rarely communicate or interact with them. Even on the 6th anniversary of their debut, no member used the paid communication platform to leave a message or greet fans.

Meanwhile, a netizen known to be a fan of Jeon So-yeon attracted attention with his post to the female idol on social media, saying: “You are first an idol before being a producer. We therefore need to communicate more.” The fan checked the number of times Jeon So-yeon interacted with fans on the group’s paid communications service since it went live in April last year, and found that the (G)I leader -DLE has only posted once this year.

This fan added: » Since you said you were bored and had nothing to do, you took pictures of your feet and then posted them on the subaccount, it would be better if you took the time to visit on the communication platform only once. Unlike fans of other members or groups who had to turn off the notification because their idols were posting a lot, I only get the update notification every time I open the app“.

Pointing out that fans have already reminded Jeon So-yeon of the question several times, the fan said, “ Since nothing changed until the debut anniversary, which could be the last for us, I could no longer keep silent“. The post spread widely across online communities, sparking enthusiastic reactions from netizens.

Indeed, many Internet users sympathized with the fan, saying: ” Despite being a huge Jeon So-yeon fan, I feel bad for you “, ” She shouldn’t ignore her fans “, ” I don’t understand why she keeps making her fans beg “, ” I would also be very upset to be treated like this after spending a lot of money “, ” If fans complain about something, it means it’s serious ” , etc.

The opinions, however, are not the same because there are those who declared that: “ It’s his way of showing affection. Get out of the fandom« , « Stop subscribing to her and find other idols“, ” The renewal of the contract is not even considered, I think we should stop immediately” , etc.

Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE made their comeback with “Super Lady,” the title track of their second full-length album, before having to halt promotion due to its members’ health issues. The group, however, resumed promotion with “Fate”, which found sudden success.
