On Friday, October 10, BABYMONSTER's official social media accounts released the D-DAY poster of the K-pop girl group's latest comeback, We Go Up. While many fans and netizens were impressed with the upcoming release from the group, they soon noticed the positioning of member Ahyeon and were displeased with it.
Ahyeon stands as the center of the K-pop girl group, implying that she is considered by the members that attracts more eyes and fans for the group. This title is also given to her due to the all-around skills she holds in singing, rapping, and dancing.
Since the center members are often found to be placed in more visible positions on promotional posters, fans were unhappy with the positioning of Ahyeon at the far end of the D-DAY promotional poster for We Go Up. In light of the recent incident, fans also recalled several instances where BABYMONSTER's Ahyeon was allegedly mistreated by the agency.
They criticized YG Entertainment for failing to realize and rightfully recognize her position as the group's center. Naturally, several fans expressed their thoughts about the same, urging YG Entertainment to refrain from their ongoing alleged mistreatment of Ahyeon. Here are a few fan reactions regarding the same:
"This company keeps shading someone who had big potential in the future. I swear Ahyeon deserves better than this." said a fan@slayeon___ @ygent_official this compant keep shading someone who had big potential in the future. I swear Ahyeon deserve better than this
More fans and netizens expressed their frustrations regarding this matter.
WTF enough is enough. Not a single photo or teaser or anything where Ahy positioned as or at Centre. Damn YG !! #AHYEON_GOES_SKY_HIGH #WEGOUP #AHYEON #아현 #BABYMONSTER
@ygent_official we ask for better treatment for #AHYEON, she is the most popular member, face of the group and the official center so STOP doing that, respect Ahyeon's official place
YG ARE YOU SERIOUS? You always treat Ahyeon like this, she's a center, and an all-rounder, she carries a lot of weight, and she's put in the back?? SHE'S A CENTER!!! #ahyeon #BABYMONSTER #WEGOUP
@alwaysdns I am more than happy if Ahyeon will leave the company after their full 7year contract
Others also shared their thoughts and opinions about the same.
YG doing her dirty every single f*cking time and this time I'm not gonna let it slide. This is how you treat The most popular member & Centre of your group. SHAME ON YG #WEGOUP #AHYEON #아현 #BABYMONSTER
