One of the key grievances expressed by fans pertains to Starship Entertainment's alleged failure to shield Wonyoung from online rumors and bullying.

The protest messages on the trucks explicitly call out the company for its silence on cyber witch-hunts, malicious rumors, and hurtful comments.

Truck Messages:

"We held it in even though you've been neglecting her since 2021."

"We can't hold back anymore.Don't stay silent about the cyber witch-hunt, malicious rumors, and comments any longer, Starship."

"Did Starship request for the video about her injury to be taken down?"

"Stop taking us for fools and making us trust you less."

"Although you don't post anything about legal actions, you guys immediately delete anything that insults Starship."

"Just who's management are you?Starship only serves to block their artists' paths."

"Repay them with the appropriate support and actions.#Starship_Protect_JangWonyoung "

Fans express their disappointment, questioning whether the company played a role in the removal of videos related to Wonyoung's injury.

Their frustration stems from a sense of diminishing trust in Starship Entertainment's management practices.

The outpouring of support for Wonyoung from netizens is notable, with many echoing the concerns raised by the fans. Some users expressed their shock at the lack of official statements regarding potential legal actions to address the online harassment Wonyoung has faced.

The sentiment is that Starship Entertainment has failed to adequately protect their artist and take appropriate measures in response to the severity of the situation. As fans continue to demand justice, calls for legal action grow louder.

Other Netizens React

Netizens expressed their agreement on the messages on the protest Truck: 

"Wonyoung protects you!"
"If I knew, I would have participated blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah It's the first time an agency makes idols mocked by making their own creations blah Haha so many different"

"The real Wonyoung's bad comments are so serious, there's nothing to say even if I send a truck 100 times"
"I've liked many idols, but this is the first time I've seen a company like this." 

Despite the mounting criticism and widespread agreement among netizens, Starship Entertainment has yet to address the concerns surrounding Wonyoung's injury and the subsequent harassment she faced.

The company's silence on the matter only deepens the frustration felt by fans and further raises questions about their commitment to supporting their artists.

As the controversy intensifies, fans and netizens alike eagerly await a response from Starship Entertainment. The company's next steps will undoubtedly have a significant impact on its reputation and relationship with its loyal fan base.
