    “They didn’t tell Coco about Sori’s debut, because they didn’t tell Sori about Coco’s debut. They emphasized they weren’t obligated to share artist news with one another.”

      Nah, she blamed the COMPANY for how they were treating Sori vs Her, and she was honest. You guys treat Kpop stars, and East Asians in general, as little dolls that have to act all cute and pretty and perfect the way you want them to. And when they break mold and get FOR REAL about what's going on, you guys get mad that the perfect bestie image you had in your head was ruined - honesty be damned.
      I will always prefer a real honest gritty breakdown of what's going on and how someone is feeling because of it, vs. a staged k-pop/k-media production of a statement that is overly perpared/practice - like what you saw from Sori at 17:49.
      At the end of the day I think they supported Sori more because she went down the generic sexy-cute theme, where Coco wanted to do a more modest/indie/close-to-cocosori type of theme, that wasn't as mainstream friendly.
      I blame the company at the end of the day. Too many of these companies let favoritism infect how they treat their groups **cough** YG and 2NE1 **cough** and it honestly ruins them. Which is so damn disappointing.

    Coco was very bitter during the whole thing but she would always fail to mention that her company paid for her whole debut, no crowd funding AND she solo debuted first. They also both auditioned for different programs at the same time and Coco failed hers. She got a fair chance and even got her solo debut first, she just didn't do well so her company shifted focus to Sori because Sori was bringing them more money. But Coco technically was favored first, she just didn't produce any results.

    The whole thing could've been avoided very easily, it's sad how things had to end that way, even after all these years I stand by Sori's side, Coco didn't use the best words to express herself due to jealousy blinding her, and as I can see from her friend Edward's comment they're still bitter about it which tells you a lot.

    @sonailee3619 4 месяца назад +34

    So she essentially is saying "because I didn't get this, Sori shouldn't of gotten this either." in reference to the amount spent on solo debut. Despite the fact that she got to do a solo debut first, and that Sori was more popular. Sori brought more revenue into the company, that's why they were focusing on her. Coco seems like a really jealous person. It's like the people who complain about debt forgiveness "if i had to suffer, so should you" when you could just be happy that someone doesn't have to suffer. If Sori had debuted first before Coco, she would've probably had the same budget, but because she debuted after her popularity spike, they would've obviously had more money to fund Sori's with because of her own work making them profit. Coco clearly didn't make enough profit for them to spend time on her career. While yeah that is favoritism, it's not uncommon, and it literally makes sense. If coco wasn't popular and earning them money why would they waste money on funding a career that is costing them money and not making a profit. It sucks but from a business standpoint it's very obvious. And yes, the company should've been 100% transparent and communicated better, but to me it seems like Coco would've probably found some way to be jealous at the end of the day. There are plenty of instances in kpop where there is unequal treatment, yet the members go on their way and don't spew hate about the more popular member because they're jealous, Coco did not handle her emotions well at all, in my opinion. Just the way she says "HER" gives me the ick, it literally SOUNDS jealous the way she says it.

    Sori was the only professional one out of Coco and the company. She did her job well, and did not publicly air their problems. I always remember Sori for her sweet personality and trying to be kind to the others.
    The same can't be said for Coco who was so bitter and jealous.

    From a business persoective I would support sori too. They're actually a perfect duo. Coco has the popular visual and personality and sori has the drive to survive the industry. Although the company is always the problem, I feel like the company was still supporting her. Sori was passing all her auditions but they still giving her solos. After mixnine, they had their comeback and the company sees that sori suits mature concepts. I think jealousy is part of the industry but the most successful ones just accepts it and bides for their time. This not telling the other their solos feels like the standard procedure, sori was probably advised not to tell coco. They knew they're gonna spend more and push sori more. And it's gonna cause friction. I feel like coco just doesn't suit being in the industry.

      Also I remember that someone said that it was cheaper to release Sori's music, since the songs were already produced. But with Coco she made her songs, so, they would have to pay a producer to work with. Idk if that's true

    • @TheLadyGrey
      @TheLadyGrey 4 месяца назад +1

      @@fxrnxndxsq that can’t be true, because Coco making her own music means that they don’t need to pay nearly as much people. It’s the reason why SVT are such good money makers-they don’t have to give profit for the song to other people because Woozi is the person making the songs. Coco’s would’ve been cheaper

  • @MsLacieable

    Ngl anyone would be jealous if they were in her shoes but we have to look at it in a business perspective, Sori is more profitable than Coco. She passed YG's audition gathered fans from Mixnine. While Coco is not as famous. Which would you choose to promote more?
    We look at two employees, one deserves the promotion and they got it, while the other is mad they didn't get promoted. I gotta say Sori deserves it because based on just her talent, she worked harder than Coco. The company would be dumb to invest in Coco when she doesn't have as much talent and fans as Sori. Just being honest.
    Though I hoped Sori switched companies after Mixnine, the sexy concept didn't really suit her.

    There was favoritism. The company saw Sori as more profitable so they put all their efforts on her. It happens quite a lot in this industry especially the company is small with limited funds. Since the start, the duo wasn't profitable so the company tested out different things to work out the situation. Coco's songs was ok but it wasn't as striking as Sori's. Also, her popularity from mix 9 helped. If you're a small company, what would you do? Supporting the artist is a gamble. Though Coco's solo could have worked if it was promoted better but the company doesn't want to gamble the money on her.

I get she had every right to be frustrated and hurt because of favoritism and being lied to too many times, while they push more for Sori's success but the way she went on about it and saying "HER", blaming directly towards Sori alone in such a tone might not be a good way to do it.

Being jealous OF sori and being mad AT the company are two different things. And we are hating on coco why, because she was honest about her feelings? Two people can be in the right. Just because sori did nothing wrong doesn’t turn coco into a monster, please some nuance…

    I think neither of the girls are to blame. Their company did handle communication poorly, however I do think that maybe if the girls communicated to eachother when they wanted to solo debut instead of their company lowkey making them compete against one another, things would've happened differently 🩷 just my thoughts on it tho.
    Add on: even if the company were aware on the fact that both the girls wanted their solo debut, the company should've took it upon themselves to inform both the girls that they would have different schedules due to their wants of a solo if that makes sense and plus the hypothetical costs of everything.

    As someone who's friends with Coco, and knew about the true evil of the CEO of that company, this whole situation and the way they were able to twist it in their favor was so frustrating lol. I'm so glad it's gone. I truly feel like because Coco was a female idol speaking out about her frustrations with her company, it became "she's so problematic and unprofessional". But if it was a male idol it would be "wow he's so outspoken" 😒While I myself don't like Sori as a person, I believe she was a victim to the system as well and was just trying to be a good entertainer.
    I'm surprised you didn't mention that Coco was on a reality show called 'EXchange (환승연애)' though, she BLEW UP in Korea cos of that. It was such a nice feeling and felt like redemption for the bullshit that she had to go through.

      Given that (amongst other things) Sori was forced into modeling bikinis for a Vlog Channel she didn’t have control off (unlike coco) it would be pretty fucked up if you didn’t, but hey! Letting everyone know that you don’t like her as a person (which is the nicest thing you’ve said about her tbf) was totally necessary!!!!1
      But fr, I can Understand Coco’s frustrations although she did direct some of it towards Sori, mind you male idols have had their careers destroyed over bad mouthing other idols. But i can understand she was mistreated by the company (same for Sori but in different ways).

    I vividly remember this saga as it was unfolding several years ago. I was not a fan of this duo, more of a casual listener and I did follow both of them on Instagram, but I initially took Sori's side since I felt Coco was just jealous, petty & unprofessional. Now I can kinda see Coco's POV. I did follow Sori's music for a bit but eventually stopped. I unfollowed and unsubscribed from Coco's RUclips channel as she now makes videos for her Korean audience, which is fine if this is the audience she's after. Sori looks to have started a clothing brand.
