Despite FNC’s January statement corresponding to Zuho’s participation within the group, FNC continues to isolate the boy group member apart from his group, SF9, after signing with Haewadal for his acting endeavors.
At first, fans wondered if there was a miscommunication between the two entertainment companies, FNC and Haewadal, however, it seems clear it lies within the hands of FNC since the company oversees SF9’s activities.
Baek Zuho went live on Instagram on November 18th, 2024 at approximately 2:46 A.M. KST (Korean Standard Time). In his live, he addressed questions’ fans pertaining to his participation in the group, whether he would soon join the rest of the SF9 members with their activities.
This was in question to FNC’s upcoming event FNC Kingdom, a large-scale performance event performed by FNC’s artists for the fans.
Zuho mentioned he can’t go to activities as an SF9 member if FNC Entertainment does not call him in for scheduling, even though he is still a member and has not left the group.
Despite his absence, Zuho continues to encourage FANTASY to support the rest of the members just as he continues to cheer on the team he cherishes dearly, telling fans that the others are working hard and to not blame them because they’re not at fault.
In fact, SF9 members are still in contact with Zuho, given that he mentioned how Chani, SF9’s maknae, dancer, and rapper, asked him for some windbreakers as a favor. Although Zuho has not been allowed to post on the official SF9 accounts, nor the members to mention him, it is clear that all of them continue having a strong bond off-camera/behind-the-scenes.
Fans are frustrated with FNC Entertainment’s lack of agency, their willingness to disrespect Zuho’s commitment to the group since the company had first assured that Zuho would be included within group activities.
[translation for tweet above: tired of seeing that you’re still excluding Zuho! Can’t you do anything right?? How long has it been now of us asking you for an explanation??]
Fans across X (formerly Twitter) continue to express their disappointment with FNC, trying everything they can to help and support Zuho as he continues to endure this mistreatment.
Here is a translation from a portion of Zuho’s live:
