Furthermore, we choose Lovelyz (because) girl groups Red Velvet and Twice, their price is very expensive and we thought it was unnecessary to use all the budget to invite them. We prefer to spend more on the festival. We don't have enough time to fulfill the demands of the students, and the celebrities that matched with the school's conditions are very limited and all of it were hip-hop artists. In the case of Geeks, Geeks' Lil Boi was hoping to perform at a school festival through an appearance at Aerospace University and in the case of San E, no ballad nor rock singers was available to cast, and we chose a singer whose songs lots of people can sing along to.
We once again deeply apologize for the controversy above. If you have any further inquiries about the festival lineup, we will answer as best as we can.
[Instiz] Korea Aerospace University who apologized for inviting Lovelyz
1. How could they say this about Lovelyz all of a sudden...
2. (They) really have no manners^^ I hope Woollim will cancel the event after they see this
3. So rude...
4. Their price is expensive..??? Do you think they're some kind of object... So thoughtless
5. Um? Our kids are busy. You should be grateful that they would even go, but it's upsetting every time we see that kind of post ㅜㅜ
6. Did Woollim really put their hands down? Are they neglecting Infinite and Lovelyz? So frustrating....
7. Even among popular girl groups, Lovelyz is hard to invite ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Whoa, so disrespectful
8. The innocent Lovelyz will be ridiculed with that. Why didn't they think this through
9. ㅋ? Because of the price...with people...The school is really not good...
∟ I really couldn't believe my eyes when I read the first line..
10. Do you think singers are objects? Seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
∟ They've made another controversy
11. Maybe the post is the best the school can do.... I guess. Of course, performance fee is set according to popularity, and the school has financial considerations. They wrote the post because complaints arose from students... No one is to blame, but it made everyone uncomfortable...
12. Just don't contact them. Isn't it too disrespectful? In fact, since they had a concert this month and they went overseas back and forth, they would've been tired but hearing that kind of words, there's no reason (for them) to go to the event
∟ Ah, they even put 'Flop', seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (A student) outright called them Floplyz in a public placeㅋㅋㅋㅋ They (Lovelyz) have been on events at Seoul University, Korea University, Sungkyunkwan University, Dankook University, but this is the first time that a university uses the word 'Flop'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
13. They didn't write 'invitation fee' nor 'performance fee' but 'price'
14. I hope Lovelyz cancels. I don't like this at all...ㅎ
15. Um... I don't know why they uploaded that post, but personally, I don't see a problem in the post itself. They didn't use demeaning expression and if it's a clarification post, I think it has certainly explained the situation
∟ 222...The problem is that the expression 'price' is a little bit.. It's offensive, but as a clarification post, I don't think there's any problem with it explaining the situation. Rather, it addressed the students' complaints about inviting Lovelyz instead of the mentioned singers..??
∟ It's an apology letter that's uploaded because students expressed their dissatisfaction once Lovelyz was in the lineup
∟ Thank you for the picture! In my opinion, using that kind of expression for a singer is very rude....In terms of preference survey, it is wrong to go ahead without a prior notice but if there are strong complaints from the students about inviting Lovelyz, then I think there's nothing to do but having to mention the budget problem in the process clarificationㅠㅠ
∟ It's true that there's nothing to do but having to mention the budget problem, but was it necessary to even compare them to other singers? That's the problem. Even if it was insinuated, it blindly expressed the invitation cost, which will be insulting, when there was just a problem with the budget limit. Saying this would've been enough without comparing them to other singers and in fact, they (a student) used the word 'Flop' on Lovelyz. It becomes just an annoying sight and fans got angry..∟ Right, I think the student council used an awkward expression.. Even though I get what they're talking about, I understand that it upsets fans that they directly mentioned the sensitive topic, mentioning other singers, along with the word 'price', because of an unintentional poor choice of wordㅠㅠ
