hi! hope you’re doing well!!

i was just reading the comments on the everglow pirate mv to see what people were saying about the song (bc it slaps of course) and a lot of them were talking about how the group is apparently in dire straits and that the company needs to take action quickly or else they’ll fall apart/disband/etc. obviously it all seemed quite dramatic, but some of the things people mentioned (no full album/lightstick, yiren’s situation, the group’s current general absence from the spotlight, etc) were things that i did know about and aren’t necessarily great signs. as a person who is generally pretty informed on the girl group scene (and the number one first fan), i wanted to ask if you thought these claims had any legitimate merit or if it’s just fans worrying and creating problems where there aren’t any (or at least not to this scale). regardless, i just hope we get some good news about them soon :(

oh wow this is unexpected lol, im not an expert at all haha

but to answer your question, im not that worried about them, tbh. it has been a while since their last comeback, but this is actually not the longest gap there's ever been. it's just about the same length right now as the gap between First and Pirate, and not as long as the gap between La Di Da and First. i wish their gaps werent so long but.... in any case, this is actually fairly normal for them. i think Yiren's situation and Onda's father passing away have been big delays though. but as for right now, they're actually doing pretty well right now, they've been performing all over the world at a couple big concerts and festivals. i think they were the first kpop girl group to ever perform in saudi arabia? they did that a couple weeks ago. they were in london recently too, and they just performed at 1thek's big "g-kpop" concert in seoul like last night. aisha has covid right now i think, so they were performing just as 4 members... but they were performing! and i've heard really good things, especially from people who were at the saudi arabia and london shows. yuehua is having yena come back next month, and i think everglow will probably be after that. i dont think they would be flying everglow all across the world if they werent gonna have them come back i think, haha. unfortunately it's very likely that it'll be without yiren... i'm not very informed about her current situation, but i do think she'll definitely be back... just... maybe not yet. i think there will probably be at least one comeback without her, similar to dreamcatcher in their era without handong. idols getting stuck in china is a recurring thing. i think this is more of a handong situation than a cheng xiao/meiqi/xuanyi situation though, i really do.

fans do love to worry and complain though. everglow arent on top of the world, that's true, they're not the biggest kpop group ever, but i think theyre doing pretty fine. there are a lot of girl groups who would KILL to be where everglow is right now. it's taking longer than i would have hoped, but i think they'll come back relatively soon. probably september or october. and hopefully the gap after that comeback won't be so long

#as for lightsticks though lol i dont really care #i have the word lightstick muted here and on twitter because i hate lightsticks and i think theyre a scam haha #but yeah no idk i have faith in everglow #im more worried about a group like weki meki... but even they have been doing a number of concerts and stuff recently! #building up some momentum! #thank you for the ask though! i love to talk about this stuff
