TREASURE Makers, also known as Teumes, expressed their frustrations to YG Entertainment for THESE 2 reasons, following Mashiho and Bang Yedam's departure from the boy group TREASURE.
Teumes Angered After YG Reports Bang Yedam & Mashiho's Departure Just 4 Days Ahead TREASURE Concert
On November 8, TREASURE's agency, YG Entertainment, announced through official SNS that they terminated their exclusive contract after a long discussion with artists Mashiho and Bang Yedam.
Along with this report, it was confirmed that the group will also reorganize the team into a 10-member system without the aforementioned names.
As soon as the news came out, Teumes were angered by the company for releasing the news out of the blue.
One of the reasons the fans are displeased was because the statement was dropped just four days ahead of the group's concert in Seoul.
According to rumors, the two former members already withdrew in May, but people wonder why the company just announced it when the group is expected to have a performance this weekend.
In May, Mashiho and Bang Yedam both stopped their activities. At that time, Mashiho rested for health reasons, and the latter reportedly devoted himself to studying music for a certain period to strengthen his production skills.
"Did Bang Yedam and Mashiho really leave 4 days before the concert?"
Fans strongly criticized YG Entertainment for spoiling the excitement and mood of both the artists and fandom, saying:
- "What's the case of announcing the withdrawal just before the concert after not hearing from them for half a year?"
- "Who comforts the feelings of the remaining members?"
- "It's more like ignoring fans than (YG's) elementary school-like newsletter."

Another reason why fans were not happy about the sudden announcement was for simply conveying the withdrawal without specific reasons.
According to the notice, Mashiho needs to recover sufficiently for health reasons, and Bang Yedam decided to leave to grow as a producer with his own music color.
This is not considered an ample explanation of the male idols' withdrawal from the group for fans because YG failed to give fans updates about Mashiho's health, leaving concerned fans clueless about his true status.
Fans assume that Mashiho's health condition is that alarming since he has to leave the group to recover.
On the other hand, Teumes are also questioning why YG Entertainment let go of Bang Yedam and the real reason the idol leave the company when he was known for being a loyal trainee under the agency for 7 years.
Bang spent seven long trainee years after signing with YG Entertainment. However, unlike his long time as a trainee, he left YG about two years after his debut.
- "Bang Yedam has been in YG Entertainment since he was young, isn't that too much?"
- "Can't you really give us a professional newsletter with enough details?"
On the other hand, TREASURE, hereinafter a 10-member group will hold a two-day solo concert, "TREASURE TOUR at KSPO DOME from November 12 to 13.
