I feel the need to share the original unedited video because of how widely the maliciously edited clips have spread that led to misinformation and harassment
Ryujin was simply adjusting her outfit between performances. The edited clips intentionally slow down, reverse and loop the moment when she was tucking in her top, that lasted only a second, to create the false impression that she was “scratching” or whatever awful sexualizing words they’re using against her. It was a completely normal harmless action, but unfortunately it has been taken out of context and deliberately misrepresented through deceptive editing

- No Studio Choom performance
- No advertisements
- No performance video
- No playlisting
- No promotional push
- No streaming parties
- Barely any dance challenges
- Only one radio appearance and that too after the tracking period had already ended
- No collaborations for yet another year
- No variety show appearance
- No university festivals
What exactly is the purpose of constantly giving ITZY back to back comebacks if the company is unwilling to properly support and promote them? Midzys cannot be expected to carry every aspect of an era on their own. Fans can only do so much before burnout sets in, especially when they feel like all the responsibility has been placed on them.
Then people wonder why ITZY doesn't achieve bigger results. With the level of support they receive, it's honestly remarkable that they continue to maintain such stable sales, streams, and fan engagement.
Enough is enough.
