Controversy is brewing as Son Na-eun notifies the group Apink of his absence from their 10th anniversary special album activity. It may have been inevitable Choices for personal activities, but it is pointed out that there is a moral problem by unilaterally destroying the group schedule that was already set.
On the 17th, Apink agency IST Entertainment announced that Son Na-eun will not be present on the 10th anniversary special album scheduled for release in February. The next day, Son Na-eun's agency YG Entertainment explained, "We have not been able to participate in activities except jackets and music videos because the schedule of the next work under discussion is not enough."
However, the noise related to this has been continuing for several days, pointing out that the meaning of the "10th anniversary completeness" has faded as Son Na-eun has fallen out, and that it has also caused the rest of the members to be displeased.
In fact, the rest of the members were caught up in the aftermath of the absence of Son Na-eun. In December last year, the album recording and music video were filmed completely. With the exclusion of Son Na-eun, it became inevitable to re-adjust choreography lines, part redistribution, and some re-recording.
In the process, fans also pointed out the "Sigi" issue; some criticized the release Sigi as being delayed due to the "academic" controversy of Park Cho-rong. Of course, it is clear that the case could not quickly confirm the activity Sigi, but after the agreement between the two companies was confirmed as "February", Sigi has not changed.
Already late last year, "February release" was set; specific dates were also confirmed at the time. I finished recording and movie shooting in December, but the time was two months because of the drama shooting schedule of Son Na-eun.
Some said, "In February, there are early, mid-term, and horses." He said, "Sigi has changed." However, there was no big change.
In addition, Son Na-eun's method of notifying him was also on the board. Son Na-eun reportedly delivered the news through the manager without even passing on the absence to the Apink members directly; the responsibility of the subject who broke the promise is a difficult act to find.
Moreover, Son Na-eun, who has been a singer for more than 10 years, can not not know the damage of the remaining members due to his absence. It is a clear indication of how light and easy Son Na-eun thought about Apink activity.
Continuing to go on, he continued the wrong way for his fans. Son Na-eun moved to YG last year and said, "I will always gather again and show you a good picture as an Apink." He seemed to keep his promise by holding a fan meeting with actual completeness, recording and movie.
However, as a result, I was unable to act, so my fans had to have a position related to it. However, Son Na-eun said, "I am sorry that I can not do this activity because of the schedule problem, but I have been told that I would like to ask a lot of Ones for special albums and members." Yoon Bo-mi has come to the point of apologizing.
Especially, Son Na-eun has been actively promoting the drama until recently, so the anger of fandom has become bigger in his 'Choices communication', which closed his mouth at an important moment.
As I was passing my position, the picture became strange. Now I have become apologetic about my absence. It is a situation that has been pushed to the point where it is forced to look like an apology due to criticism.
I do not know the will of Son Na-eun to act. I would have said that he was "an important Sigi to make a new leap as an actor." As an actor, he opened the second act of entertainment activities again, so the image of 'idol' could have been a little burdensome for him. Moreover, Son Na-eun may have wanted to stick to 'good work' even more because he was suffering from the 'flash smoke' tag throughout. It may have been judged that the next work is a great opportunity as an actor, so that the group activity is abandOned.
But the way is wrong: there may be situations that are inevitable, but sufficient understanding of them is an indispensable factor. Son Na-eun missed the process.
At this point, interest is poured into the next work of Son Na-eun, who has lost his Apink activity. As YG said, it is the next work, which is not a definite but "consultation", so the reality of what it is is not yet revealed. Many people are interested in the masterpiece that has a certain ripple power in Son Na-eun's film to move on to the actor. It is a sign that it will be the most attention-grabbing work of Son Na-eun's previous appearances.
