WM Entertainment's Silence on ONF's Overseas Tour Sparks Major Backlash

Amidst escalating tensions, fans of K-pop sensation ONF have raised their voices in demand for clarity from WM Entertainment in light of the 'Overseas Tour' controversy.

Concerns surfaced when fans exposed WM Entertainment and touring agency J&B Entertainment for compromising members' information, divulging album spoilers, and engaging in fan-related scams, leading to a wave of discontent within the fan community.

On July 4, an anonymous user shared screenshots from a chat room, shedding light on the questionable practices of J&B Entertainment. Subsequently, more fans came forward with evidence, urging a closer examination of the situation.

While J&B Entertainment's CEO issued an apologetic statement addressing the controversy, fans expressed dissatisfaction with WM Entertainment's brief response in Korean, calling for greater transparency and accountability from the agency.

The ONF's Fan Fuse Union stepped in, releasing a comprehensive statement outlining their concerns and demanding concrete actions from WM Entertainment.

"Hello, this is WM Entertainment. We want to inform you about ONF and the overseas tour agency J&B Entertainment. First, we apologize to the fans and artists for causing concern.

We have repeatedly voiced our opposition and demanded improvements in their arbitrary operating decisions and unfriendly responses to fans, which have not been shared or discussed with us.

Although J&B has apologized to the artists and fans, we have decided to terminate the contract with them and cancel the tour in Taiwan and Hong Kong. We sincerely apologize to the fans who have been waiting for the tour.

Regarding the North American tours in August, considering the fans who have prepared in advance to attend, we will notify you soon after taking a closer look at the situation.
We feel heavily responsible and promise to make sure the same thing won't happen again in the future.

Also, we would like to apologize once again for causing disappointment to fans who have showed continuous their love and support for the artists."

They advocated for the exclusion of specific chat members from fan club activities and rallied fans to join the cause using the hashtag #WM_JnB_DontHide in multiple languages.

Despite mounting pressure and public outcry, WM Entertainment has yet to provide a detailed explanation or address fan concerns, leaving supporters eager for a more substantial response to the unfolding controversy.
