In a resounding show of dedication, fervent fans of the popular K-pop group ITZY launched a protest at the JYP Entertainment building on July 25, 2023.
Fans Unite to Advocate for Fair Treatment of Yeji
The demonstration was aimed at calling for fair treatment of ITZY's member, Yeji, who was conspicuously absent from the cover of the group's highly anticipated limited edition album.
A preview of ITZY's upcoming album, KILL MY DOUBT, heightened the fans' disappointment as they noticed Ryujin, Lia, and Yuna on the cover of the limited edition version. This only intensified speculation that Chaeryeong and Yeji might find a place on the back cover, further fueling the fervor of the fans' demands.
Chinese blackhearts keep proving that they can do more than just buy albums and projects for Yeji. They are also always ready to support and ask demands from the company who mismanages their artists, it sadly leads to wasted potentials. Please take care of your talents better 🙏… https://t.co/avYC7ANSNS

Netizen Reaction
Here are netizens reaction on the protest truct sent buy CN union:
"You mean that only one of the five members didn't appear on the limited edition cover? what is that sound?"
"What's not alone on the limited edition cover?"
"But really, it seems that the headquarters in charge here can't work, but there seems to be a difference between the headquarters."
"Last time I saw it, the limited edition cover had only 3 members on the front and 2 on the back. However, I usually put a group photo on the front of the cover of a stone album, but there is no particular case where the members are put in front of someone and behind someone, so it seems worth mentioning. It's a limited edition too."
"I really hope Yeji will do some neat styling.."
" there are, but it seems like I'm in a fucking empty situation too haha But if there are not just one or two, but several overlapping, I think it's going to go crazy."
The protest trucks were initiated and sent by the Hwang Yeji CN fan union, a collective of ardent supporters who have expressed solidarity in their call for equitable treatment of Yeji. The fan union's bold move garnered substantial support from numerous fans, revealing the collective determination of ITZY's fandom to advocate for their cherished idols.
