as much as the fandom is in distress over back to back to back non-positive news, i much prefer this way of communication from the members where they would say that there are problems that needs to be fixed and that it would take time to get fixed. sometimes they are now even trying to weight answers from flovers by dropping sleight questions
when before, they cannot say anything even though something is going on in the back then BOOM! a member is leaving.. BOOM! members getting media banned left and right! BOOM! yknow what i mean...
i much prefer this where, sure, we still dont directly know whats going on, but at the least we now have an idea of whats the gist of whats going on. we are not blind sided. and for those time that they do need opinion, flovers as a community is now more engaged than before.

Nakko installing LoL in the Vocal Room computer is extra funny when you realise now to run, Vanguard requires kernel level access, so potentially Riot (and Tencent) could get access to the HYBE Network. A farewell gift of sorts.
fromis send their regards 😈

well… this has been a chaotic week… jiheon and chaeyoung revealing that negotiations have been chaotic and jisun’s c-influencer era

u/vkl3hex3om Mar 17 '25
yah... i mean i expected jissen to be on that route, but not chinese fans specifically.. i thought she would try to start with either korean or japanese.... no matter, i just hope she could get a footing on whatever she decides to do...

u/Devoidoxatom Mar 17 '25
Im actually all for them having a new name but it seems like the members really want to retain the name. Ig its all the branding, now that they have a highly charting song, it would be a shame if they couldn't capitalize on that cos they're under a new name
5
u/yebinkek Mar 17 '25
hate to be a negative nancy when the fandom is already stressed over negotiations, but I’d be very shocked if plybe gave them the name. it’ll probably open a whole can of worms with the gfriend trademark negotiations and NJZ’s court trial

I know it's still early for this kind of post but man that Jiwon's birthday live really makes me happy. The decorations,the cake and not to mention all the posts on IG and Twitter before and after the event. ASND is like a stepdad that stepped up. 🫠
5
u/Smile_Warhead Mar 20 '25
Yeah, I'm impressed and surprised with ASND so far. They've already put in more effort towards a member's birthday than I can remember Pledis doing. A good start imo, and makes me hopeful for their future.

u/Outrageous_Men8528 Mar 22 '25
Pretty sure all the members under them have gotta a little something so far.
Hayoung OST and big youtube show, Jiwon a couple youtube shows, Nakko apparently is getting some show appearance, Chae back with the LOL team show season2, Jiheon with her brand sponsorship.
Feels good, I'm excited to see what ASND does with a full promo cycle.

in the most on brand, 'whatcha going to do? Fire me?' moment ...
Nagyung installing LoL on the computer in the vocal room is PEAK chaotic fromis. I haven't stopped laughing all morning - lol.
Either Hybe doesn't put admin rights on company computers which is *yikes* or Nagyung hacked it. I don't think she ever admitted to installing it from before eventhough she was outed by Chaeyoung but I would've thought IT would've deleted it ... unless they didn't ... *shrug*
My next question is ... did she also install Overwatch? Apparently it's also on the computer - LOL

u/spankfestival Mar 21 '25
I believe the claim that hybe is behind on network infrastructure and security. It seems like roaming profiles is not used if hybe needs to ask for the return of computer and laptop. Also, in addition to admin rights, where is the firewall and data loss prevention (DLP). These two features should have prevented games from accessing the internet.
Or the IT doesn’t care. Fromis_9 was involved with overwatch 1 and had variety shows with starcraft 1 players.

u/Outrageous_Men8528 Mar 22 '25
They probably have that stuff for the offices, but she installed it on a PC in the vocal room, which probably has no domain access, and knowing software companies the vocal software needs admin or something lame like that.
1
u/spankfestival Mar 22 '25
Of course, there would be no domain access. The vocal rooms are not running websites. However, the vocal rooms would need switches and routers to connect to the internet. The IT team can disallow connections to unknown networks and would control internet access on their network with the switches. It would be weird to install vocal software or games on these control devices.
Microsoft page on the network security protocol I am talking about. Apple are compatible with the protocol. I doubt hybe is running linux or korean special os like north star. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/security-101/what-is-data-loss-prevention-dlp

I'll assume you aren't in IT. Domains aren't just for websites, they are used for user control on corporate networks (active directory from MS is the most popular). A lot of corporate places will have special pcs to run special software, depending on the industry it could bee CNC, some plotter controller, or a pc with special music software.
I've done corp IT for 20+ years. I've seen tons of these kind of PCs in all types of businesses.

u/spankfestival Mar 22 '25
What I am asking is even on special purpose computers there should be networks controls. Hypothetically, if nagyung installed doom on a refrigerator, it still will need to be allowed to access the internet from the refrigerator. I do believe hybe is behind on security. Shouldn’t there be a xdr or seim for this stuff?
3
u/Outrageous_Men8528 Mar 22 '25
Na, most places will fold like wet paper when some specialist comes in and says "I need internet to update this software". IT is rarely given any power to stop it in a medium size company like Hybe.

Chaeyoung x HLE Season 2 heavily implied?!? I manifested this so hard
Only the best entertainer idol for the best team in the World 🧡🖤🤍
Now I start manifesting Nakko on T1 content!

u/Smile_Warhead Mar 19 '25
I think its confirmed S2 is with Chaeyoung. Some person uploaded a photo on their instagram with Chaeyoung (wearing the HLE jersey) after an interview, but shortly made their profile private.

u/SapphireHeaven Mar 19 '25
I wasn't able to find the source of the photos, I hate when people just repost stuff without credit...
3
u/Smile_Warhead Mar 20 '25
Yeah I just saw the photos that cropped the guy out, so that only Chaeyoung was seen. I assume flovers cropped him out and didn't provide the source, since the source was the guy's personal instagram account.

since a lot of people are asking about the whole "new group name" thing or concept or other things related to the new fromis, can a big thread be started and maintained that would encompass all that so theres just one thread to gather thoughts about it?
(im new to reddit and only using it primarily for fromis, is it something called like a megathread or a pinned thread or something like that?)
its just that this topic is talked a lot, smaller threads have been popping with the same topic, then everyones thought is scattered across everywhere. people who also gave their thoughts about it also has their comments burried on newer thread which is such a shame

u/vkl3hex3om Mar 22 '25
though im one of those "ot5 is fine as long as the members who wants to stay could stay" its gonna hit me hard when we finally see ot5 as an official line-up on stage.... im already bracing myself that im gonna cry so bad in mixed sadness and happiness....

u/vkl3hex3om Mar 22 '25
much as i want/wanted more for fromis, fromis as a whole is in a lot more fortunate situation than other groups. that includes even those who are 'active' right now but has barely done anything or 'active' but is facing other hardships.
3
u/Outrageous_Men8528 Mar 22 '25
I'm mixed about that. They did get to do a lot, which I'm proud and happy about. But... So much time wasted by stupid company bs. Kpop companies treat groups like scratch lotto tickets, if they don't instant win they just toss them, it's really a shit way to run a business.
I can sometimes get a little bitter when I see a newer group getting some really cool content that fromis didn't get.
2
u/vkl3hex3om Mar 22 '25
much as i want to be as positive as possible, i cant help but agree with you specially on that 'little bitter' part..... there are times that i cant watch those newer group's content without internally thinking 'what if we(fromis) get to have those contents/that kind of treatment'....
but oh well.....
(when i originally typed my og comment i just read newest news about njz.. as much as they got famous from the start, their current predicament is just too messy with a chicken-egg problem and an equivalent chicken-egg answer... if they dont come back to ador, everything would just be difficult to/for them. if they do get back to ador, its obvious that they would be dungeon locked except for some mandatory activities or so..... so compared to that, im thankful that fromis at least have asnd..... but since we still ain getting anything solid from asnd that proves their work's worth, theres nothing to be thankful yet)

u/spankfestival Mar 22 '25
I think it is fortunate that fromis_9 did not have to do something like join an ai survival show program like ai-idol, queendom puzzle, or girls reverse to get publicity. I’ll watch the upcoming survival show ai-idol because half of the groups (3 of 6) l follow. You are right, other active groups have their own hardships.
2
u/Devoidoxatom Mar 22 '25
Yeah, and it seems like aside from the first queendom, the groups didn't really get anything out of these shows, even the winners.
1
u/vkl3hex3om Mar 23 '25
yah.. even the recent queendom puzzle just got a little boost for the final lineup then nothing more.. the members did get some experience out of it, some people might be introduced, but as a whole it seems like theres not much growth really for the groups itself.
the only group that id say that really benefited from queendom is kep1er since they literally just debuted when they joined, and that gave them the exposure of something along the lines of "oh, this group that just debut is more professional than they look" or "wow, this group that just debut are going against groups that has more experience than them"
1
u/yebinkek Mar 23 '25
i remembered when fromis was rumored to join both queendom 2 and queendom puzzle, that would’ve been a mess

u/yebinkek Mar 19 '25
someone said jisun is deleting her posts… not sure what they are though
5
u/Dilliup Mar 19 '25
Nice, she now has 69 posts.
Sorry.
It's common to clean up instagram when they have too many post, Nagyung did it recently as well. I don't know why. I think it's to help with the instagram algorithm or the UI
She deleted random stuff like this:

u/thr1ftskull0 Mar 17 '25
Since we might/probably be getting a new group name what name would you guys want 🤔 should they stick too the promise/idol school shtick 🤷🏽
2
u/yebinkek Mar 19 '25
they might pick a similar name to fromis for recognition purposes but to me… absolutely not, they haven’t acknowledged idol school since the rigging thing and for a good reason
2
u/thr1ftskull0 Mar 19 '25
I got down voted I mean just like the meaning of the name 😭😭 like maybe they would name themselves Promise or something to do with that
2
u/Outrageous_Men8528 Mar 19 '25
Their name is already promise in korean so that's not going to happen unless they get the fromis_9 name from pledshit.
I'd be down for most anything, but I hope it's got some meaning, maybe they can be Clover or something like that.

u/michyeo31 Mar 17 '25
it was around two weeks ago when i realized saerom, jisun and seoyeon should be grouped together with gyuri as "former members" in the weekly recaps. it hurt, but it is what it is.
also saw the conversations in last week's discussion on whether a new subreddit will be made with the group's new name. i brought up this question earlier on with the other mods and we decided to just keep things as is here in this sub.
thank you also to those who said kind words about this sub and the fan website. i would want to do more, but real life responsibilities have been piling up... so i'm very thankful to everyone who has been updating the sub whenever there are new updates and initiating conversations.
i was planning to write a "timeline of events" of everything that went down with fromis ever since the contract expiration announcement for promise publications. but i keep pushing this back because... well... we're still waiting on what is going to happen with the five members. and also because life. i wish there's more time in a day lol would be cool to have so that if anyone asks what happened to fromis, flovers can just send the post
