Ricky Omitted from the flight to Philippines
ZEROBASEONE’s agency, WAKEONE has updated an announcement about Ricky being omitted from future schedules.
Translation of important parts of the announcement
We would like to inform you that ZEROBASEONE member Ricky will not be able to attend the 2023 Asian Artist Awards due to unexpected circumstances that have caused difficulties in issuing passports and visas. Efforts were made internally and externally to help Ricky participate in the event. But it was finally confirmed that he could not leave the country, The 2023 Asian Artist Awards, scheduled for the 14th, will be held with eight members excluding Ricky.
We promise to do our best to help ZEROBASE operate smoothly in all schedules, including overseas schedules in the future.
However, this is not first time ‘Ricky omitted’ by the agency. To know more about the case, CLICK HERE.
So fans are sad and furious about how Ricky is being mistreated. As it is not the first time of the agency, fans are sending a long letter to the agency through quotation.
How fans are feeling
Fans are wondering why this only happens to Ricky. It’s not the first time for the agency to manage foreign members, as they had many senior idol groups, and there was even a similar disturbance a few months ago. If there was such an issue once, the agency had to prepare more. Fans thought it was a least to expect, able to participate the schedule. The fans are pointing out that the participation in the AAA was confirmed in September. The agency must have known and had long period of time to prepare. However, they did not prepare. Fans are saying this is not an unexpected situation but it is negligence and deception.
Fans are actually over the madness. They do not know what to do and asking for support of agency. One of the fans’ last word was “Please consider the artist first. Please.”
Hope Ricky would be able to participate next schedule.
