Sensitive Full rundown of The Boyz current mistreatment (tw: food deprivation) (1 Viewer)

[Juniverse]

So many people on Twitter/other social media platforms are telling Deobi to be quiet/stop trending hashtags/stop emailing the company because what's been going on isn't a big deal or other groups had it worse.

A quick run through of how The Boyz are currently being treated:

• No proper breaks in between tours and flights.
• In between COVID and the London concert, Changmin had to leave the stage and couldn’t dance after ‘BOY’.
• LA KCon, where they missed the red carpet.
  • THE BOYZ arrived two hours before the red carpet, being stuck at immigration for an hour, rushing to get ready because they’re the opening act and special MCs.
• THE BOYZ shared on PM that they weren’t getting much sleep/rest due to packed schedules.
  • They rented a studio in Jakarta to practice choreography for the comeback when they should be preparing for a concert.
  • They wrote songs in hotel rooms due to being on tour during comeback preparation.
  • THE BOYZ attended ISAC Chuseok Special even if it was not required.
  • On August 25, 2022, they rushed to attend two events one after the other; New mentioned that they were not allowed to sleep for 24 hours nor had they gotten to eat yet before attending K Global Heart Dream Awards. NOBODY SHOULD EVER HAVE MUCH NEEDED REST OR MEALS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM. IT'S SICK.

Regarding the health of the members:

• Hyunjae went to the hospital between showcases
• Eric’s flight information is always getting leaked to the media even if it’s a private schedule.
  • Recently, Eric’s manager told reporters that Eric’s health hasn't recovered perfectly yet and he's still going back to Korea instead of resting in LA
• Sunwoo suddenly went on hiatus after comeback due to ‘poor health’. There is lack of information regarding the members’ health/ injuries compared to before the merger happened.
  • e.g. Date and time of event, reason of injury, place, etc.
• THE BOYZ’s lack of security in airports and thus they get mobbed and pushed around by fan sites and media personnel.
• Lack of action regarding malicious comments against THE BOYZ
• Jacob needing to get IM injections to help his neck and back
• Younghoon's accident at KBS where he fell down the stairs due to exhaustion
• Changmin and Sunwoo suffering from sleep paralysis, Hyunjae suffering from nightmares, Chanhee's insomnia, other members not getting any sleep either

IST rushing their comeback and not promoting it properly:

• IST Entertainment did not promote nor hype the comeback.
  • No comeback showcase.
    • Most netizens did not know THE BOYZ had a comeback.
  • No proper updates on IST Entertainment SNS accounts.
    • No promotion on IST Instagram unlike other IST Entertainment artists.
    • No streaming or voting reminders on IST_THEBOYZ Twitter unlike previous comebacks.
  • Album sales are lower compared to previous (see: pre-merge), recent projects
    • Albums weren’t sold immediately during the tracking period even though stores had them in stock.
    • The albums suddenly sold more on the last days of the tracking period after netizens were informed of the comeback.
  • No promotional video like BE YOUR OWN KING or GenZ films.
  • No dance practice released.
  • No 1theK studio, Studio Choom, and very little variety show appearances.
  • The Boyz official website was not updated to Whisper during the actual promotion period and was only recently updated.
  • IST Entertainment did not promote Kevin’s The Space cover of Amazing Grace and he had to do it by himself on WE_THE_BOYZ Twitter.
  • Sangyeon, Jacob, Kevin, and Haknyeon’s lack of fancams in music show broadcasts.
  • Haknyeon’s acting debut in Seoul Goedam was not promoted.

IST being incompetent at preparing a comeback + weird creepy director who wore their clothes??? :

• Questionable comeback preparation
  • Lack of coherence in comeback teasers
    • Noticeable wrong grammar on teaser photos.
      • LET IT AWARE, LET YOUR WHISPER BE ROAR
  • The new concept director uses the same outfits he dresses THE BOYZ in.
    • Posts photos of himself in the outfits on his Instagram account.
    • No credentials in filmography or any area that could deem him fit to handle a comeback.

And we are just supposed to sit here and take it? The company wasn't this bad before the merger.
