[CEEKAY]

woah!!! so envious are you going to Dream Concert ceekay...

 

btw... I am a casual fan of Ze:a. i think we just met here now...

 

I didn't know you liked them hahaha,,, as for Dream Concert...idk....the seats sold out really fast and there's no fan club seats so its harder to get in and i don't want to spend $200 on the foreigner seats...if there's a miracle i'll go..hahaha

[CEEKAY]

What's your thoughts on it?

 

you mean like if I liked it? Sorry for the late reply... i went to the pre recording yesterday and then m countdown begins..so I'm super tired >.<

[CEEKAY]

I've heard the MV is coming out tonight... hmm...

 

yeah it was nice but it was pretty short i think..or  maybe that's how long showcases are

[CEEKAY]

[CEEKAY]

[CEEKAY]

Anyone a Taeheon fan and would like to have a FIRST HOMME album with his photo card in it?

[CEEKAY]

Kevin is in Australia on vacation which is so great for him...he looks so happy in his pics

 

too bad its like WWIII in the fan cafe right now...Star Empire is probably the most frustrating company ever

[CEEKAY]

Can you explain what's happening? I noticed there was some hullabaloo on twitter, but I couldn't understand it.

 

Well its an accumulation of stuff Star Empire has been doing since ZE:A's debut but for a lot of fans the fan meeting mess was the last straw. The fan meeting was originally supposed to be on July 26th (I was gonna go) but S.E posted a note last week stating that the date has changed to August 9th. There was no real explanation except they couldn't secure the venue they had in mind for that date. That pissed off a lot of fans cus a chunk of them are in High School students and with the date change, that's only like 2 or 3 weeks before their exams so many of them wouldn't be able to go. Some even begged their parents and everything to get permission to go. There's also those who are coming from outside Korea and who already made arrangements so that's another thing that sucks. 

 

Fans are questioning why they didn't secure the venue before posting a date and why they couldn't find somewhere else that was available on the same date. There's also the mess that was the First Homme promotions. Like Siwan only appearing for their comeback week, the length of the promotional period, the lateness of the music video, the company not securing the group with activities during promotions, and the post on how they said that they would be promoting stagger and it ended up only being for their goodbye stages. There was also this thing where Daegu was the only fan sign outside the Seoul vicinity but they were able to secure this special camp event that was created only for japanese fans. There's also the controversy of the time when the post about the promotions ended was put up on the fan cafe. It was posted at 5:58PM which is 2mins before the end of the work day for the employees. Many fans believe they did it at that time to prevent the angry phone calls from fans that would most definitely would have taken place. They also don't like how Junyoung apologized on twitter one hour after the post when it should have been the company to have done it. There's also the A-Z video where Siwan talks about why he had such a little part in the song and how he apologized and they wonder if it was the company who made him say that. The day that they posted about the date change, they also posted the minwoo/dongjun video message. So fans are accusing S.E of using the members to appease the situation. They also mention about the S.E staff and all the things that they do that isn't right. There's other stuff but it's all centered on bad management. 

 

I wrote too much...

 

In short, S.E ignores fans feedback and does what it wants. 

 

There's a post in the freeboard that sums up all this and its an actual warning to S.E and if nothing changes I can see there might be a boycott very soon

[CEEKAY]

they've changed the date AGAIN...thank god i didn't change my flight cus that would have pissed me off even more...idk why they are so obsessed with the wapop hall venue

[CEEKAY]

im shocked Minwoo's going to the army...I mean he's born in 1990... I just saw him last month...i didn't think it would be the last time for 2 years... I'm gonna miss him ;___;
