APINK - SON NAEUN
The Dispatch media published an article concerning the absence of SON NAEUN for the promotions of the next APINK album.
It was announced by YG Entertainment on January 18:
« It was not easy to coordinate the schedule of the next drama under discussion with SON NAEUN »,
adding, “We can’t involve her in promotional activities except for the photo shoot and the special album music video.“
A music industry official said, “If a member is missing, damages will be awarded to the rest of the members,” adding, “The remaining members have to work together again with the revamped song and choreography.”
APINK’s 10th anniversary comeback is only a month away.
YG Entertainment used the keyword “coordination”. “It was not easy to coordinate the schedule,” they explained. (However, YG Entertainment did not coordinate the schedule with APINK’s.)
First, there is a question mark over how YG Entertainment operates. When discussing a job with a production company, it is fundamental to inform and build a predetermined schedule. Moreover, the return of APINK was already scheduled. A production company manager said, “It’s basic order to coordinate everyone’s schedules with the actress.”
“Coordination was not possible” means that the production company of her upcoming drama did not take into account SON NAEUN’s previous commitment, continuing her group activities.
A music industry official said, “If it was difficult to coordinate with the production company, we should discuss the best option with APINK,” adding, “YG Entertainment unilaterally decided not to involve them. on the comeback and even the opportunity was gone“.
The pandemic has reduced pre-recording time for music shows. Popular idols spend three to four hours a day on music shows, unlike before where they were there from early morning to late evening.
A broadcast company official said:
“No broadcaster will refuse a return performance from APINK. They can do whatever they want”
did he declare. “We can speed up the order of pre-registration or reduce the duration of activities.”
APINK prepared the 10th anniversary album taking into account SON NAEUN’s personal schedule as much as possible. Wouldn’t the performance program be a part that can be fully taken into account?
In the end, only the other members have to “sweat” again. A reorganization and a change of the choreography had to be done. Some sound sources may require re-recording.
APINK held a fan meeting late last year. SON NAEUN said, “We will all show good performances in our respective positions,” adding, “I hope you will stand with APINK.”
However, the 10th anniversary album as a whole was twisted from the start. YOON BOMI soothed his fans on “Bubble,” saying, “I’m so sorry that Pandas are upset. Let’s only create good memories.” SON NAEUN has not yet spoken.
