Even after months of waiting, we Malaysian fans were not told of this 'unforeseen circumstances'. Look, we were really looking forward for this event but cancelled out of blue like this without a logical reason really infuriating. If there was a reason, make it clear. I waited months long so that you guys may prepare a post that can justify this cancellation but it seems, there was no rational reason at all. We Malaysian Primadonnas are done being treated like fools.

AOA ChoA's state
First of all, I'd like to apologize for my inactivity. Not everyday FNC Entertainment's mistake appear, ad I myself was busy. Much like everyone else, I'm quite surprised reasing the news. I thought FTISLAND and former FNC soloist Juniel was the only ones mistreated. It would appear to me that not only CEO Han intentionally hinder certain idols' activity, but he also lack the capability to handle his many idols properly.
FNC Entertainment as we know, occasionally hold auditions in certain countries to recruit new rookies. But at the same time, they fail to take care of the ones with them properly. I don't know if actors and newer bands ever had problems because of this, but in general FNC Entertainment should ensure idols under them are properly managed before searching for new ones.
Until then, auditions shouldn't be held anywhere and newer idols shouldn't be signed under their labels. This is because both the company and the idols will suffer. Well. the company's reputation would be badly affected among idols, thus making FNC Entertainment infamous for inability to care for idols well. Some of the idols also may suffer as improper care would repeat Juniel's fate to these poor idols like increasing debts and wasted potential.
UPDATE:

I just read this, and sadly still no confirmation from the company. Personally, I'm not a fan of AOA but I am a supporter of FNC Entertainment. While some fans speculate ChoA getting married, I specualted that this company us having internal problems. I like this company for debutting FTISLAND but I must criticize if I believe something is going wrong with the company.
Anyway, if ChoA leaves FNC Entertainment in the future, I can only wish for her to find happiness. I'm sure fans felt sad hearing about this when the news first came out, and feels sad later when she leaves. However, let us let ChoA decide her course to life, shall we?

New Incidents That Causes Us To Rethink Our Policies
Last week, there was a JYJ Jaejoong's performance in Taiwan (if I'm not mistaken). 1 April 2017, on that date, Jaejoong himself decided that he should play around with his fans by 'fainting'. Although he was playing around, he raised quite an alarm, that made me went all investigating what is the reason he faint (of course, I lack proper Internet speed to watch the video of it myself), which could include fanatics (sasaengs, your term) poisoning him, company mistreatment or maybe himself overworked. After being left for few hours of investigating, I was told that it was a prank.
Now, how come JYJ suddenly have a post dedicated to them? Well, I believe that Jaejoong Kim is a noble man, and as such won't play around with sensitive issues like health. So, I went and openly declare that "I would support him in rightful natters". In this case, I believed that he fainted genuinely. I went all FBI-mode to find the root cause. I found that I've been tricked, like a paramedic call that was actually a prank call. So, I had to install laws to prrvent fans from reporting false news and play tricks with sensitive issues.
Now, the date I decided to 'punish' him for playing such tricks was 2/4/2017, approximately at 5:15pm GMT+8:00. He was punished with 'Support Withdrawal' for a year, or any incidents like real fainting or fanwar (but fanwars are subjective though, and I crossed the Cassiopeia fandom last time during their war of color Red against iKONics). In that duration, if it really happen, I'm gonna watch only. Open Movement themselves are to restrict any of its members to support him and his fandom, so that he may learn to be more sensitive to joke around.
Although, I do think it's a little unfair. The only exception for this 'ban' is if he do charity, which of course is a good thing. His fan did raise the false alarm. But, it originated from his action still. So readers, please don't raise my alarm falsely. However, if you still like to tell me of any April Fool tricks, be sure to tell me it's a trick before I get alarmed.

Lacking Support
Ever since my last post, I've been trying to find support for this movement. However, I first try to find support from both Primadonnas & Primadudes. But, they are too fragmented across Facebook. You can try to search, and none of it even reach 10,000. It's embarassing!
Now, the reason I search for Primas' support first was because I believe Primas' fandom must be the first to support FTISLAND. However, this fragmentation of Primas' fandom made it near impossible to find support. Nonetheless, it's embarassing too to ask other fandom for support because Primas support is not yet secured.
But, for the sake of this movement, I ask that each person who read these messages from my blog to share this movement. Forget the embarrassment. If we succeed, none of this is embarrassing.
UPDATE: I have a possible solution to this problem. First, Primas will need a more centralized form of online fandom. This can be done by forming a fandom fanpage in Facebook (if you guys can get a website operating instead, it's better) which will be filled with Primas across the globe. Most information and activities can be shared easily and quickly, too. However, the leadership should be consisting of Prima representative from each country. Otherwise, we'll find Prima being leaded by an autocrat-styled person.
Also, why lately I wrote like this is only for Primas? It's because the most affected band in FNC Entertainment is FTISLAND and I believe Primas should be focused on because like I wrote above, FTISLAND must be supported by Primas. They are and must be the backbone of this movement to date. If Primas become a more organised fandom, surely this movement can benefit greatly from that too.

The Petition: How It May or May Not Affect the Company
By now, you guys should know this movement is to pressure FNC Entertainment to change its ways through a petition. However, as history of K-pop fandoms know, petition may have no effect at all upon the targeted company. As an example, the petition created by Cassiopeias during their Cassiopeia-iKonic Color War that was created to demand YG Entertainment change the design & color of iKonic lightstick.
By sticking to this kind of reality, we can accept if our petition failed to change FNC Entertainment. Even in a war, it wasn't necessary to win every battle to win the war. In this case, we can't expect FNC Entertainment to submit to our first petition. There may be a second, third and so forth in order to finally be able to do that. So, if we fail, we can always try again.
About when the petition will be created, it depends. If I feel that the support it will get is good enough, the petition will be created & be provided with the link. So, to expedite this, share the messages brought by this movement to your fellow fans.

A Different Type of Support
If any of you comrades read my past posts, you'll find that I mentioned about the first Facebook post I made on the company's official page. On that post itself I declared that FNC Entertainment still have my support. Now, some of you may think they lost it. They actually still have my support, only in a different way.
During that time my support was like, cheering in their efforts and achievements as they kept growing & becomes increasingly influental. That was because they signed up various renowned comedians and got their stocks up. But as they continuously let their artists like Juniel & FTISLAND wither under their ignorance, I had to change my ways.
To continue supporting them in that way is impossible for me. They'll never change. So, this time I'll support them by changing them and prevent them for tearing the company apart from inside. The thing is, I plan to create a petition to demand that they change a few crucial things.
The things I want them to change includes:
1. The way they treat artists
This means no bias when it comes to promotion, appreciation, attention, treatment, everything. Artists are creative people, and creative people should be let their ideas expressed freely. It's suspected that the company tries to suppress FTISLAND & their creativity. It was told that they argue so much with CEO Han too. They wanted FTISLAND to be one of those fake bands in music industry. This must be changed for it is considered the reason FTISLAND is treated badly.
2. Ignorance/Neglecting of artist(s)
This was the reason Juniel left, and it's not something the company should let it repeat. Attention should be given sufficiently to artists. In Juniel's case, she was neglected to the point she accumulated debts. This debts was supposed to be paid from the jobs FNC Entertainment should be giving her. Due to negligience, she didn't get any job. This in turn caused her to be technically wageless. If this is let to repeat, future cases like this will happen.

An unappreciated band
It was just yesterday I said there were a lack of issue as a factor for my inactivity. Today, just as I scroll down my news feed, I found this (http://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/06/ft-island-express-disappointment-about-fnc-entertainment).
There comes the issue I hoped not happening after my open letter to the company CEO. Their lack of appreciation is something, their ignorance of supporters' advices is another. It really gets to me when FNC Entertainment ignored an advice, and continues to mess up themselves while I'm trying to prevent that. This is an example of a company you don't want to sign under.
The company itself may have their own policies but as a pledged supporter, I can't allow myself to be supporting a company who fails to treat their artists (which I believe should be in the same category as any worker under a company) right. These policies that they practice in the company is very stressing (unless you're treated nicely because you let your musical talent be bent to the CEO's will) and shouldn't be done in an entertainment company. Artists are creative people, and some do hate their creativity be limited by some guys they work under.
As fans of FTISLAND (also known as Primadonna or for some male fans; Primadude), we sure heard a lot of times Hong Gi voiced his dissastification about the company. Some can tolerate, while others like me cannot. It was through him I actually knew to strike & begin this movement. Hong Gi, I thank you for your bravery and that made it possible for me to start this movement.
In my opinion, fans of every artists that signed under FNC Entertainment should begin organising a large scale online movement to pressure the company and CEO Hans to begin treating every artists fairly. While it may not directly affect the company, it will give a form of support to artists neglected by the company. So if any fan read this, I need each one of you to share and spread my message so more can throw their support behind each and every member of FTISLAND (if there are others, kindly mention in the comments) through this struggle.
