Thanks to the full support of the fans, the Brave Girls side, who wrote the myth of running backwards, was embroiled in controversy one after another that they neglected their fans.
On the 12th, Brave Entertainment, the agency, produced the first goods of Brave Girls and sold them to fans.
Fans could not hide their disappointment when they saw the goods consisting of soju glasses, beer glasses, acrylic stands, and postcard sets.
If you look at the photos of Brave Girls goods released by the fans themselves, the printed photos of the members were too low-quality. It is known that the Brave Girls soju glass set cost 55,000 won, and the acrylic stand and key ring 17,000 won each.
It wasn't just this. Recently, the words and actions of the fan manager, who helps the Brave Girls and fans communicate, also spurred the fans' scorn.
In June, fans of Brave Girls' DC Inside Gallery collected money at 10 o'clock to support sound equipment worth about 50 million won, and the fan manager's unconvincing behavior seriously hurt the fans.
One fan said, "In the process of supporting sound equipment such as microphones worth more than 50 million won, I said that I would deliver it on the spot on the condition that I did not face the members in case of an unexpected accident, but I was rejected. We opened the boxes one by one on the side of the road and inspected the contents of the support.”
The fan also said, "The members who were recording in Yeoksam-dong wanted to see the microphone, so they called the fan manager and asked, 'Can I go now?' “Why do you seem to hate us?” and “What did we do wrong?”
Controversy continued as testimonies came out that the manager and fan manager of Brave Girls' management company showed a condescending attitude, such as forcibly examining their mobile phones to fans who took photos of Brave Girls members.
Brave Girls debuted in 2011, but after frequent member changes, they have been active as current members since 2017. The Brave Girls, who had gone through a long unknown life, faced a crisis of disbandment, but with enthusiastic support from fans and soldiers, they recorded a myth in the music industry last year.
Brave Girls fans emphasized, "The relationship between the agency and the fans is not a supreme relationship." "Even though the agency has an obligation to care for the artist and maintain the fandom that is the root of the artist, it is difficult to understand how they treat their fans like this." and protested.
