i will say XUM never had a chance of getting too successful, especially overseas. The scandal they got into where they made fun of Africans, Native Americans, and Filipinos was so wrong and made a lot of people disinterested in even listening to them.

💜 I feel like the reason not a lot of people fall into liking smaller company groups is because line up changes happen so often in groups from smaller companies and they tend to always have relatively poor management. I know money can be a problem for small companies too but they have to put in that effort and money and time to their groups if they want to gain revenue. I just feel most smaller companies don't do that enough and groups like Neon Punch just get the short end of the stick.

I remember Moonlight appearing on my recs the day it came out. I never heard of the group, never heard any news about this debut but I thought why not give them a chance. I'd recently gotten back into kpop and everything was new to me so I looooved the idea of stanning a group no one else I knew did. This was maybe an hour after it officially released. And I fell so in love with Neonpunch. The MV, the song, the choreo, the girls' vocals and their charisma. You could feel their genuine joy for finally debuting in that MV. I listened to it every single day and shared it everywhere I could lmao. Throughout the year I was under the illusion that A100 was treating the girls right: there was promotions, there was dance practices, there were dance and vocal covers every friday. They did vlives. And then it all just stopped for awhile which I assumed was for preparation for a comeback. (I didn't watch all their content so I was shocked when I heard about the fake disbandment thing...) Tic Toc finally happened and the excitement was revived. I was sad about Terry but Dohee filled her own spot in Neonpunch really well and she even became a bias with May. I was obsessed with the dance practice video for Tic Toc. They had GFRIEND-style sharpness and synchronization that I didn't observe in any other girl group from that year. I bought(!) the album because I really wanted to support the group and see them do well (one of the albums in my collection I'm most fond of). There were promotions, there were cover videos. And then the silence returned. And this time I was worried cause it lasted longer. Then there were suspicions that Dohee left. Then the Xum announcement happened. I was excited about the three girls continuing but the magic was gone. I loved Ddalala. I loved the bside Lipgloss. But it just wasn't the same and I felt like there was gloom on the horizon. The year passes and there's silence going into the new year. I was not surprised at all by the news of their disbandment (which was only by word of mouth from a friend LMAO). The amount of disappointment and disgust I have in this company for how astronomically they've mismanaged this poor group of young women is just.. insurmountable. I'm sorry for this essay sized comment but gahd. Neonpunch was such a special group to me, I'm sure the members all hold it fondly, but their legacy is just tainted with a100 being shitty in so many ways. I'm also so glad that other people actually remember Yeim?? Like I watched her debut after I'd checked the channel when i watched moonlight and was like "Why is no one talking about this incredible artist???" And then she just disappeared. I hope she finds herself out of this company or whatever situation she is in right now. She deserves so much better.

I didn't even know about the prank until it was mentioned in a video I watched like a year ago, and that made me so mad. I still don't understand how the company thought that was a good idea. It seems like they didn't care about the Neonpunch members at all. And now, I just don't see the point in supporting Hi-L. They seem really nice, but I really think they are going to be mismanaged just like Neonpunch and XUM. I really hope all the idols that were or are in A100 the best, because they deserve so much more!

This was so good and really brought in all the thoughts I have about neonpunch/XUM. I've been stanning since predebut so seeing this happen is just heartbreaking, the girls are so talented and deserved better than they've been given. I got into a fansign in September last year and it was obvious how much the girls cared about what they were doing, and how happy they were to see fans. Iaan even mentioned me on their fancafe as she was so shocked to have a fan from England! I'm hoping to be moving to Korea by the end of the year and I was hoping I would be able to meet them in person and it breaks my heart that that can't happen anymore. These girls deserved the world and yet they were treated so badly, I hope whatever they end up doing next they're happy, and if any of them, of the 6 who have been a part of this mess not just the three in XUM, redebut or join another company I hope all us fans will be there to support them in their new adventure.

In kpop it is too hard to move on from such huge incident and they already had a line up of new girls already. I fully understood that move. The only thing I don't understand is their lack of communication and the failed makestar campaign.

Companies do this shit ALOT, chasing luck with debuts, Not giving 2 f&cks about their talent and/or try to keep them locked in a contract so no other company can use that talent better. Even the bigger companies with money, JYP a prime example with Miss A. VERY few companies actually seem to think of their talent as more than simple money (Dreamcatcher Ent, Plan M (APink) Woolim (Lovelyz to a point) WM (Oh my girl) etc companies actually support a lot more than most), Recently even our beloved GFriend seem to have been f*cked over by a company that most have thought as a good one.... IAAN is a star also, being so young with that confidence and charisma should be managed a shit ton better, don't get me started on how visual she and XUM were... This angers me so much how these companies f*ck dreams up so much on people... It's also a very youth-oriented sport in beauty prioritized Korea, It's meant to be MUSIC you know for the EARS haha. The 80's f*cked music and turned it into needing to look good also.

A100 apparently no longer exists, as does their website. It seems obvious that KPOP live bought A100, and not that A100 turned into KPOP Live. A100 was founded in 2016 by Baek Jong-wook, a former manager at Happy Face ent, while the CEO of KPOP Live Ent is PK Heman, a singer / rapper who debuted in 2007. But it is true that KPOP Live's comment on HI-L's first video: (New girl group Hi-L and XUM are in the same company.) Also A100 changed K-pop LIVE ent.) Is really confusing. I also think A100 started having financial difficulties around mid 2019, when they moved to a smaller building. Neonpunch can be seen in their new practice room on September 6th. It's possible that even though their Makestar project was successful, the company didn't have enough money left for a Neonpunch comeback. But in this case, how to explain that the group was able to afford a trip to the Phillipines and Dallas? I also remember that A100 posted in January 2020 on Makestar asking to wait a bit longer, and that the girls were getting ready for their comeback .... What amazes me the most is how A100 was able to start XUM if it ran out of money. Maybe the company put in all the money they had left to give the girls one last chance, but unfortunately it didn't work out. As for the latest affront to XUM to put all their videos in private, I prefer not even to talk about it. At least we still have the Neonpunch KZitem channel (for now ...). It seems that some companies really don't care about the fans (which does not bode well for Hi-L), I remember only too well the group ShaSha, all of the content of which has been erased by their company. I am really sad for the girls of Neonpunch/XUM that I have followed from the start, and who have worked hard all these years. They deserved better.

this company is manipulative!!! when Arang left the group, they replaced her with May, who by the way is a lot like her. they insisted on putting someone (may) in her place (arang)! Think - they're both too much alike, red hair, same age, same birth date... for fans to think they're the same person!

🤦♀️ This counts as a purple emoji, right? Cause that's the only emoji I feel willing to post here, uff... I've had Moonlight in my playlist probably since it came out, but when I got round to looking the girls up, they had already disbanded, like speed of light, or what is this?! Same exact thing happened to me with Xum's Debut/only song, and I didn't even know those were the same poor girls, or just 3 of them. But it does make me angry, that companies keep wasting these young girls' lives, when the put in their entire youth for training, strain their bodies to the limit, try to bring out their best for their fans and have absolutely no power or say over what such companies decide for them. - I mean, don't even get me started on the "prank", I -

This is one of the reasons I find myself not stanning groups from smaller companies, there is so much talent and so much hard work that goes into being an idol, but the truth of the matter is, no matter how talented you are, there is only so much an idol can do to keep a group afloat in a cut throat industry such as Kpop. Most of the time it comes down to luck for smaller company groups, but really it’s a company’s responsibility to promote and take care of the idols. The reason groups like Stray Kids (even if they’re not from a small company, JYP can be a bit of a snake), Ateez, Gidle and Seventeen have come so far is because the members put in a lot more work than should be required. When you compare Seventeen and Pristin for example, it’s clear the reason Seventeen was able to make a name for themselves is because they are self produced, so the company is able to get away with shitty promoting.
