  1. I think one thing we should remember is that Coridel is a smaller company, and their best bet to get some credibility and momentum for their groups was largely taken away from them by bigger entertainment companies. Jessica had the biggest star power, but when she went to promote, was blocked by SM. Playback had a shot with Mixnine, but we all know YG screwed that up. I think its very important that if fans have concerns they bring them up to Coridel so we can at least get answers and clarification. It'll be interesting to see what this petition is. As a fan of Playback myself, I'd like to see them comeback with new music sooner than later. 

     

     

     

    Coridel is a small company, so was Clean Company, yet they were able to promote their artists. Before Coridel acquired Clean Company and Playback with it, Playback was able to enter Melon 100, 3 months into their debut back in 2015. What did Coridel do with it? Nothing, they put the girls in the basement for 2 years and they are still there.

     

    While Mixnine was a mess and YG screwed up the male group that was supposed to debut, Playback had already been screwed up by Coridel for years, something that YG had no fault in.

     

     

     

    And since this is Jessica's thread I will stop addressing the mismanagement of Coridel with other groups. I only addressed it initially since they were mentioned by name and were referenced in some tweets of the petition.

  2. Signing that petition no matter how vague it is, is much better than all of us sitting around and shit-talking about Coridel.

     

    Jessica even promoted Playback's song on IG, I'm sure she wants them to do well. There is absolutely no way that Jessica gets to decide when and how Playback makes a comeback or how they are promoted. Playback surely has their own management team.

     

    Signing an empty petition does nothing. If people want to be heard or want something to change, they need to address the issues and not tip toe around them with vague statements. Hopefully this will not be the case and the petition will address the issues head on by stipulating what the issues are and how the fandom would like them to be addressed.

     

    And Playback having their own management team? If they have even a management team, I don't think they even have one person managing them or that person is quite incompetente since they are doing nothing, not even updating the few schedules that Hayoung has (since she is the only one with schedules) or even posting on social media about their birthdays and group anniversary, also Playback uses the same bodyguards that Jessica uses and they use the same stylists.

     

    Heck, the bodyguard promotes Hayoung better than Coridel. He makes little posts about her schedules on his IG and sometimes leaves little hints about future schedules.

  3. I spoke about Jessica's promotion and management only because I'm a Golden Star and the petition is being created by a team of Golden Stars. I didn't mean to insinuate that Playback wasn't being neglected.

     

    I understand your frustration about Playback, but if you actually look at the petition account, you'll see that Playback has been included in it as well:

     

     

    I hope you don't resent Jessica for this. She has no control over what Coridel chooses to do with Playback. Perhaps even Playback fans can get together and sign the petition so that maybe Coridel will listen smile.png

     

    I know that you didn't mean to insinuate that Playback wasn't being neglected, my rant was to show how much they are being neglected.

     

    And I have seen that petition going around, but so far it's pretty vague. Hopefully they will expand their points.

     

    I do not resent Jessica herself, but she is a reminder of the situation. And the situation makes me mad. I still follow all the Jessica accounts on twitter that I followed before, I still follow her on IG and I still get news and info about her, I just don't actively seek it.

     

    And while Jessica is not the CEO of Coridel, let's not pretend that she doesn't have a major voice in Coridel Entertainment. The whole company was bought for HER.

  4. I think using Pledis is a bad example? lol Pledis Ent is in it's 11th year and is home to a number of successful k-pop groups. Coridel is only 3 years old with only Jessica as their main star. If you're annoyed with how Coridel is treating Jessica, imagine how Playback's fans might feel?

     

    Coridel do rely heavily on fans to promote Jessica - and i think that's the wrong way to go about things. But they've had 2 comebacks to clean up their act and not much has changed. Agree, it is better to try something rather than nothing. Just don't get our hopes up that the company will even bother looking at it. 

     

    I do wonder how Coridel have performed financially the last 3 years. Are they making money....breaking even or what. Maybe if we knew how the company is doing financially, we'll understand why they aren't very good at promoting their artists??

     

     

    I actually liked Summer Storm and her performance gave me hope that she still had it in her 

    one of my favourite live performances from her:

     

     

     

     

    omg! totally agree with you! i think they over edit her vocals post production. there are too many over lapping lines. and you can tell because when Jessica goes to perform you can see that she sometimes gets confused and doesn't really know which parts to sing (so she just ends up singing the chorus rather than the adlibs) high notes and adlibs were Jessica's strong points and to not see her do those as much is annoying

     

    lol i really hesitate when it comes to labelling/associating the word 'lazy' with Jessica, because I know it's what a lot of her antis use to put her down back then. her performance level has slightly dropped - but that doesn't mean she can't genuinely dance and sing. she just needs to put out the time to practise, practise and practise

     

    Warning: Rant incoming.

    I didn't reread it to edit it, so some parts might not be very clear or easy to understand. I'm sorry.

     

     

     

    I have been staying away from this thread and Jessica related stuff because as a Playback's fan, I'm too pissed at Coridel and their incompetence. 

     

    Why buy Clear Company if you are going to ignore the artists that were there already? Just make a new company and don't screw up with the hopes and dreams of others.

     

    From Playback's debut to Coridel buying off Clean Company, they released two songs and promoted both songs in music shows, radio shows and other places. So in about 6 months they are able to release music and promote while under a poor company. Coridel takes over and the girls spend TWO YEARS without releasing any music, when they finally release music, it goes unpromoted because they are sent packing to MIXNINE, which end up being a failure, however Hayoung is able to reach #9 (in case the girls had won and YG actually debuted the group, she would be part of that group). Instead of using the little interested that was generated by MIXNINE and have them release something and actual promote it, NO. 

     

    Hayoung has done some web dramas, had a very minor role in a tv drama, was the actress in a recent MV of other artists and shows up in an Etude House's CF. How many of this things did Coridel promoted or even put in their fan cafe schedule? FREAKING NONE! 

     

    Playback's official accounts have been mute since February! All those things that I mentioned happened after February, heck the CF was released yesterday, today is Hayoung's birthday and Coridel said nothing. The other member's birthdays? Coridel said nothing! Playback's 3rd anniversary? Guess what? Coridel said nothing!

     

    So when Tyler posts those inspirational quotes of "your potential is endless and go do what you were created to do", FUCK OFF! You have 5 talent girls, not only in dancing but vocally too and Coridel is wasting their youth, their talent, their hopes and their dreams.

     

    People used to joke about Blackpink having only 5 songs and being in YG basement for one year. Playback has a total of 4 songs, 2 of which unpromoted and those 4 songs are in 3+ years.

     

    So if you are a fan of Jessica and you are pissed, then you have no idea............

     

    Coridel treatment of Playback is turning me away from Jessica because I keep thinking of what could have happened to Playback if Coridel didn't acquire Clean Company.

     

    Coridel already let go of all their actors and actresses a few months ago. Seems like they are just waiting for Playback's contracts to end to drop them too.

    If they had no interest in promoting others besides Jessica, why buy that company? It pisses me off so much!

  5. Judging by certain signs there were nasty rumors concerning re-union of OT6. Don`t ask where I got them, I just did. But since these were namely rumors we should not elaborate.

    We love and support them in any events. And if they will not re-unite we will just have a circle of ugly crying, just like we did in Spring of 2017 after the announcement of departure.

     

    Don't go trusting all the rumors that are going around... Some are being put out by people that have no basis for it and it's only what they "think" or "want" to happen.

     

    Many rumors are being put out by akgae fans, so they are trying to push a narrative that is favorable to them.

  6. Hi there, I'm not 100% sure but some of this happened a while back and some threads were affected. When did you notice it?

     

     

    I'll have a look now

     

    I noticed today after finding weird not seeing new content from certain topics after a few weeks, so I went looking for those topics and they have 0 or 1-2 followers now, when they used to have many more.

  7. Did something happen to the "Follow Topic" feature? 

     

    I just noticed that some topics that I were following before, I was now not following them. And when checking those topics, no one is following them when there was multiple people following them before.

     

    It didn't happen to all topics, but just some seem to have reset who was following them.

  8. is korea still doing the ice bucket challenge??????

     

     

    this reminded me of

     

     

     

    I've been thinking the exact same thing lol

    but apparently, yes

     

    I read somewhere that they are doing it because they want to build a hospital in Korea for patients suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease, so they are using the ice bucket challenge now to bring awareness to the hospital.
