Netizens suspect Hwasa and Wheein (MAMAMOO) were “played dirty” by the management company because they did not want to renew their contract.
Many Knet are not satisfied with the way RBW Entertainment revealed information about MAMAMOO’s contract today.
MAMAMOO debuted in June 2014 with the song ‘Mr.Ambiguous’. After a while, the girls have become capable idols recognized by Knet and called by the title ‘a group worthy of listening and trusting’. However, coming to 2021 is also the time when Solar, Wheein, Hwasa, and Moonbyul are out of contract with RBW and they have to decide whether to stay in this company or have new options. This makes many fans also very worried about the group’s future because each girl seems to have her own strengths if she develops their solo career.
On January 22, RBW officially announced the re-signing of MAMAMOO’s contract. It was reported that Solar and Moonbyul have already completed renewals while Hwasa and Wheein are positively discussing their opinions with the company.
RBW stated, “We are currently discussing contract renewals with the MAMAMOO members based on trust in each other. Although there is still a lot of time left on their current contracts, we have been discussing since early on as we wanted to give time to carefully decide for the members who have faithfully been with us for a long time. However, there were speculating rumors and many inquiries, so we decided to officially reveal the current status.”
The agency continued, “Currently, Solar and Moonbyul have finished renewing with faith and anticipation, and we are also positively exchanging opinions with Wheein and Hwasa. As the members all have great affection and pride for MAMAMOO, we anticipate positive results.”
After reading the announcement, Knet was most concerned with the situation of Hwasa and Wheein. Unlike Solar and Moonbyul, there seems to be something that made the other two MAMAMOO members hesitant to re-sign their contracts. Knet thinks that in the case of a popular and trending idol like Hwasa, it is likely that she has received many offers from many other entertainment companies.
Although the public loves MAMAMOO very much, Knet thinks that RBW is not a good company. They said that if Wheein and Hwasa wanted to leave for better conditions for their solo careers, it would still be completely acceptable. However, most of Knet were angry at this post for only one reason: RBW announced the contract information at the wrong time and deliberately ‘played dirty’ with their artists.
They believe that since Wheein and Hwasa have better options, they are unlikely to renew their contracts. Therefore, RBW announced that Solar and Moonbyul both re-signed, thereby making fans and the public more worried about MAMAMOO when the other 2 members have not confirmed their contracts. This is said to be a way of pressure to ‘force’ Wheein and Hwasa to stay with the company if they don’t want the group’s fans to be disappointed and blame them.
Some of Knet’s comments on RBW announcements:
– Hwasa seems to get a lot of offers from other companies.
– Hwasa should go to a better agency!
– No, why is RBW revealing this!
– Is this company playing with Wheein with Hwasa?
– Honestly, it would be a waste for Hwasa to stay there.
– Is an announcement like that to put pressure on them to stay in the company? RBW is playing so dirty ?!
– Is this company playing dirty with Wheein and Hwasa?
– Honestly, it would be a waste for Hwasa to stay there.
– That means the other two are lacking trust and expectation in the company. And now the company is pressuring them with this announcement?
