According to the media, Swing Entertainment, CJ ENM, who is in charge of management of Wanna One, and the members of the original agency, who are members of each member, have recently gathered to discuss the extension of activities.
The main content is that Wanna One's deadline for the activity is 18 months until December 31 this year, but as various awards ceremony will be held in January next year, it is only one month to extend the activity to the purpose of gaining the beauty of the species.
It is said that each agency's position is divided into three main categories.
- Wanna One One Activity Period One Month Extension - Only members who are allowed to work for one month next year - As originally, the official activity deadline on December 31
As different agencies of different circumstances participated in this project, the plans for 11 members of Wanna One will also be different. Of course, it is impossible for a unified plan to be decided immediately. The fans who look at it are also complicated.
However, I can not erase the idea that something is missing in this discussion process. The fans, who are 'National Producers', and the members' doctors seem to be not a particular consideration.
But above all, I think that Fly Me to Polaris of fans called 'National Producers' played the biggest part in their success. This is because it has laid the foundation for success by creating fandom that sends generous Fly Me to Polaris to various internet Voting + character Voting as well as subway + bus advertisements.
The pride of viewers and fans watching Wanna One was so different because they made their debut through a different formation process than the existing group, 'The members I picked'. However, the role of 'National Producers' ended with the end of <ProDeuce 101>.
After the group debut, 'National Producers' can only play the role of ordinary consumers who listen to music accident sound recordings and purchase tickets for performances. The extension of the activity also seems to be hardly reflected by the fans' intentions.
"If the group was created through the election of the public, it would have been a little bit of an attempt to listen to the opinions of the fans even in the activities to meet the purpose." This is not to say that fans can engage and interfere with the activities of the group and the work of the agency.
They sold more than 100,000 mini-albums and achieved more than expected results, which were unusually ranked first in the airwave music program. However, as the interests of each company were divergent in the process of discussing the extension of the activity ahead of the contract deadline, jbj failed to achieve the meaning of the extension of the deadline and eventually worked only until April. In addition to CJ ENM, the producer of ProDeuce 101, the back door is that the problem was more complicated because Kakao M (current Kakao M) was involved in the planning.
As a result, Wanna One is not expected to be able to decide on a smooth one-month extension. In this process, the members' doctors are worried that they are seen as a phenomenon that is considered to be not important.
If it is a normal contract, there will be a fierce renewal nerve battle and negotiations between the agency (A) and the entertainer (A) ahead of the expiration of the deadline. Whether or not the members sign the team is also determined whether the team survives.
But project groups like jbj and Wanna One are inevitably different. CJ ENM and each individual agency should work in accordance with the contract, so the members are not in the general 'E' position, but in fact, they are in the 'bottle'.
As a result, some fans and other 'National Producers' have suggested that the doctors of the members who are the main actors of the activities are excluded and it is not appropriate to discuss them only among companies.
The best picture is whether or not the members' intentions are reflected in the decision of the career decision, regardless of whether the activity is extended or closed as planned. If the agreement between companies is decided simply by the agreement of the companies, this can be a stumbling block to 'beautiful farewell'.
Wait for the wise judgment of the stakeholders.

Each company doctor is important, but listening to members' opinions is a must.
