I knew it was coming, but damn…
Pledis wasted those girls’ time…
They did 2 albums as a full group and two songs as a subunit…
It’s 5am est and I should be sleeping…
There’s a fucking reason they’re only asking for male trainees and if my phone does not stop capitalizing male, imma be pissed.
I’m actually really pissed because they did NOT give a single FUCK about that group, or girl groups as a whole, do you see the shit going on with After School?
Nayoung was supposed to debut in After School and her and Kyulkyung debuted in I.O.I and did Produce 101 to drum up some support and gain some fans before their official group, their permanent group.
Roa was considered the sub-leader, she only trained for about 3 years before Pristin debuted. Pledis couldn’t even spell her name for shit because everytime she wasn’t called Roa, but rather her actual name, it was spelt a different way. Maybe that’s just romanization, but damn you couldn’t even pick one and go with it?
Yuha was the shortest training member of Pristin at 3 years. 3 years is probably the average of all the kpop idols someone do the math I’m an arts major not a STEM major. Can you imagine being in a group where the average training period of the group is twice as long as the average for every kpop idol out there?
According to her, Eunwoo’s dad doesn’t express himself that well, so when she debuted and he wrote her a congratulations text. He was proud of her finally achieving her dream. Again, a trainee since 2013.
Rena, y'all… she was my bias, like I would love to be best friends with this girl. 2011! She was there staring in 2011 and she tried to orginally go for TS entertainment, so maybe she has a shit company finding superpower. But anywho, 6 years before she debuted. She was on SMTM and she said she was traumatized because what happend, but she’s okay now.
Kyulkyung, I guess, said fuck this shit and she yeeted herself back to China and did a solo debut over there and everything. But 2009… 8 years working her ass off for this bullshit. She went through I.O.I. with Nayoung, as someone on reddit pointed out, the only two girls in kpop history to win Rookie of the Year twice.
Yehana was a trainee for around 4 years, she even was a backup dancer for Hoshi during a Seventeen concert. It felt like Pledis really didn’t care for her or Kyla, but more on that later, because there isn’t much about her, like looking at her profile, her and Xiyeon had been attending SOPA and that’s pretty much it. She is another member staying and again, I hope it’s to fulfill her contract.
Sungyeon did the Johnny method, she trained during the summer and did school I. America during the school year. Another girl who was there staring in 2009… Two thousand and nine…. that girl dedicated TEN YEARS of her life to this shit for Pledis just to be like “left on read… lol.” She is the third member and I hope it’s to fulfill her contract and not because Pledis has something against her.
Xiyeon trained for NINE YEARS?! SHE WAS CONSIDERED THE PRINCESS OF PLEDIS! The opening line of Wee-Woo was literally “I’m the Princess.” She was in After-School videos as a trainee, if there was a little girl in an A.S. video, it was most likely her. She was 8… eight years old when she started training, she essentially gave up her childhood because of this fuckery.
Kyla…. they just flat-out didn’t care about her. From the fucking family drama with her asshole of a brother to being called fat by people when she was far from it. A little chub constitutes death threats?! Goddamn, people are allowed to have a little thigh and some ass. For Pledis to hide Kyla behind “oh, she has a concussion” only for fans to discover she had a job at a local fair and for them to say JACKSHIT about it… that’s bullshit.
BUT WHAT WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO IS BLAME SEVENTEEN AND NU'EST! We already know they look at comments on Instagram and with Bang Chan and Felix pretty much confirming idols know about tumblr and may even have one, the only people we can blame is Pledis.
Support each and every girl as she continues on her own adventure. I’d link their instagrams and everything, but it’s ass o'crack in the morning and I should probably go back to bed.
This may be the end of Pristin, but hopefully they are all still friends and they can pull something out of their hats and do a giant fuck you to Pledis
And one more for the road…
