NU\'EST fans unite to protest against the label\'s unfair treatment to the group

NU\'EST fans all over the world have gathered together to protest unfair treatment against the group.

L.O.Λ.E have been dissatisfied for a while with the lack of attention NU\'EST has been getting from Pledis Entertainment. According to fans, NU\'EST has always received the short end of the stick on all matters.

The boys\' schedules were uploaded late, meaning they attended schedules that fans did not know about. As a result, fans could not go to events that NU\'EST participated in. Even when a weekly schedule was uploaded, many official performances were left out. Also, schedules were planned overlapping each other, meaning one had to be cancelled, and fans were not told which one. Sometimes, events that were cancelled were uploaded.

NU\'EST promotions were cut off shortly, with the boys heading to overseas concerts in the middle of album promotions in Korea. Not only so, the boys often took the subways and buses to promotions because they did not have a manager present. During "

Good Bye Bye" promotions (first full album), JR and Ren were summoned to Japan by their label there, meaning the three left in Korea could not go onto music shows without them. Even when they came back, they lacked the music show points because they were absent for promotions, and could not perform on music shows even though it was their first full album promotions

Excessive promotions in Japan + other countries, almost none in Korea

Many fans are also unhappy with NU\'EST promoting almost exclusively in Japan even though they are a Korean group. During their 1 year and 7 month hiatus in Korea, NU\'EST had 3 concerts and 3 albums in Japan. Because they are so focused in Japan, it is hard for NU\'EST to have Korean promotions as they cannot cancel their pre-determined Japanese promotions.

All the above photos are pictures NU\'EST members took with Japanese fans during the selca event. Fans requested a lot of personal photos that involved lots of touching especially on the face (squeezing members\' faces, poking their cheek, pressing their faces together). The members themselves cannot refuse the poses even though fans are not supposed to touch the members, but staff should have stopped fans from poses that were too intimate. However, no staff did this during this event.

In another Japanese event, the members stood in front of a wall separated from fans by a small fence. The event was that the fans just got to look at the members and take photos with them like they were mannequins.

According to fans, other infringement of personal rights included the members being forbidden to speak Korean during Japanese promotions (doing so would end in a lawsuit). When

Baekho\'s father was hospitalized, Baekho was forbidden to even mention it because it would \'bring down the mood\' of the event. Additionally, the boys were often forced to stay overtime for events because they did not have a time limit, and had little break throughout the event.

The boys often appear to fansigning and other official events without their hair and makeup done for them, and also dress themselves instead of having a stylist. They are often forced to work outside in severe weather conditions (in the cold, rain, or heat). Fans claim that NU\'EST members often handle promotions overseas without a manager and take taxis to events. The members are also not taken care of when they are sick, and are forced to handle events hours after they are hospitalized.

NU\'EST\'s fancafe has not been updated since 2014, and the group has had no official goods since 2013. The official page has not been updated since February 2015, and portal sites only list the boys\' activities up to 2014. 

Pledis Entertainment but have yet to receive one. What do you think about the situation?

TBH YOU GUYS COMPLAIN HERE WHATS THE USE.. EVEN IN THE MOST ARTICLE PEOPLE WILL JUST COME BY AND JUST PITY THEM U THINK THEY WILL SUPPORT NUEST BY STREAMING THEIR MUSIC AND BUYING THEIR ALBUM NO!!! yes PLEDIS need to give a feedback.. but loves instead of complaining here.. go buy melon streaming pass and stream nuest song.. PLEDIS works like this once u dont make money they throw u away.. so prove to pledis that nuest have lots of supportive fans and can make money =.=                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Actually im quite happy with this years pledis plan.. nuest first 3 months followed by seventeen until june.. then probably orange caramel then seventeen either will have a japan debut or another comeback                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   And about NUEST schedule not being updated its fault lies in NUEST management team.. cuz seventeens is updated usually.. FEEDBACK to pledis that NUEST management team needs to be changed

the bad thing is afterschool not coming back.. but in the point of view of pledis they need to make money.. so Orange Caramel will be a good choice since PLEDIS is trying to restore their bank first.. JUST pray next year afterschool will comeback

What is wrong with Pledis now....they are human beings not there toys......Labels these days are being low as low can get..i thought pledis was ok..but now i dont even know anymore....they throw Nu\'Est personal rights out the door....gah...would they like to be treates like that...i dont think so....so they Need to threat them better!!

They don\'t deserve any of these.. Their parents must\'ve feel very sad upon these news. I hope pledis will treat them better :(No wonder their popularity went down drastically

Not to mention, on top of not updating their official site\'s schedule, they\'re only updating their Japanese site\'s schedule. Even during their Korean comeback! I had to go to Twitter to even find out what they were doing during their Overcome promotions.

i wondered why their popularity went down all of a sudden , this is too much honestly

I never knew it was this bad, and that it has been going on for so long. It seems like that company saw that Nu\'est wasn\'t a hit rightaway, and gave up almost immediately. They have the capability of doing promotions the right way, as seen with Seventeen. But for some reason, they are not doing that with their groups. I thought it could be different with their last album Q is, but still lack of promotions. And not even a appearance on weekly idol, an almost stable thing to do in a comeback since a few years.

actually they were a hit when they debuted , their MV is the most viewed boygroup debut mv but it was in 2012 and they didn\'t appear again

Pledis slowly doing to NU\'EST what they\'ve done to AS. Awful company, these two groups had the potential to be really popular.

ikr i have always wonder why are they so qouet these days

Finally! This been going on for to long. Keep the protest going!

Nu\'est doesn\'t deserve this, they are talented and hardworking guys that have so much more to offer if they were given the chance to.
