Fans Demand More Activities For Cherry Bullet & SF9, FNC Entertainment Faces Backlash
FNC Entertainment is being criticized online for its alleged mistreatment of its two groups, Cherry Bullet and SF9.
On social media platform X (Twitter), fans vented their anger against the agency for not treating Cherry Bullet fairly, despite them being a five-year group since their debut in January 2019. According to Lullets, it's been over 400 days since Cherry Bullet had a comeback.
It’s been 407 days since Cherry Bullet’s last comeback... Please join us and let FNC know that it’s time for them to do their part and give @cherrybullet proper and fair treatment.
Fans of @cherrybullet call for better treatment of the group from their company @FNC_ENT after a lack of promotion for over 400 days and a multitude of other things Fans are asking to use the hashtag #WhereIsCherryBullet in hopes of getting the companies attention https://t.co/8N1TGhqjGi
the fact that they took cherry bullet off fromm’s platform despite other artists from the same label still being on it. what are lullets supposed to think @FNC_ENT ??? are they not your artists too? do you owe nothing to them and their fans?? #WhereisCherryBullethttps://t.co/JWQDO8RB8epic.twitter.com/uDH6yXtr9W
Any fandom that sees this please help us get better treatment for Cherry Bullet. They are such sweet and talented girls, and they only have 23 songs in a 5 year career. They desrve so much more.
This was followed by other concerns, such as not being mentioned in FNC Entertainment's future plans for its groups, abrupt cancellations of schedules, and lack of group content.
They also brought up how FNC Entertainment failed to give Cherry Bullet schedules for fanmeetings and international tours, while also mentioning the wasted exposure of the group since some of the members have already participated in survival shows such as "Queendom Puzzle" and "Girls Planet 999."
Cherry Bullet is already in their 5th year but it is evident that they are not treated fairly. Below is the list of mistreatments that we demand FNC to answer and improve on.
Please keep up the tweets, but the emails are just as important! Make a few small changes before sending, and don't try to get flagged. This is our direct communication with FNC. #WhereIsCherryBullethttps://t.co/gS509iJcJ9

Meanwhile, FANTASYs were also frustrated with FNC Entertainment for SF9's lack of activities and promotions. Some fans gave suggestions on how the agency can promote the boy group better.
Quit with the months of fansignings & fan calls! Give the members actual activities & promo instead of just catering to the same people.

Put their albums in certain stores internationally, I have PHYSICALLY seen their albums in the fye store that's here in my city. I know fnc has the ability to do so.

Better promo periods & quality of mvs/albums! If you have the resources fnc please use them wisely on the members instead of just fan concerts :/
