Thread title: 1WE is R B W’s unfavored child and I am angry
Disclaimer: This is in NO WAY hatred directed towards 1US. They are great and I have nothing against them. To avoid misunderstandings/ fan wars, here’s my moon membership card to prove it. I am shitting on ONLY RB W.

1. Mainstream or underground
We all know kdh said 1we would be an underground band, but I don’t think he understands what that even means. Going underground means they would be busking everywhere, have more creative freedom, performing at indie venues etc.

This would attract a very different crowd and fanbase. But now they can’t make up their damn mind whether they want 1we to be main or under, so they’re stuck in a weird limbo where they can’t really promote anywhere. It’s frankly dumb and annoying. MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND
2. Equipment and Studio setup
1we always say how thankful they are that their CEOs LENT them their instruments. It’s all good. I also appreciate them supporting 1we like this bc they wouldn’t have the financial ability to buy all these equipment.

However, I have a HUGE problem with their studio. It’s so cramped and they could barely walk in it. The Wifi connection is shit and they can’t even do a proper vlive in the studio. Why can’t you give them a better setup? If I rmb correctly, YOU HAVE A WHOLE ASS BUILDING???
3. Promotion materials
This isn’t about variety and music shows (which they should have gone on for 3/4 promotion, but that’s another story). They have ZERO fanservice content on their channel (not counting behind the scenes). ZERO.

Now idk if it’s bc they don’t want to film stuff like 1US always does (which I totally respect), but it is kind of strange that RB W doesn’t even CONSIDER giving 1we the same sort of content. 1we does have fans, and fans want to see them have fun too. Is that wrong to ask for??
And if you look at M A S channel, they clearly enjoyed playing games/jamming in the car/filming crazy videos too?? So what’s up with that r bw?? Why can't you give us those sort of content? It would have at least eased our anger a bit during the 200 day drought wouldn't it??
4. Albums and music
ADMIT IT RB W, YOU DONE FCKED UP THEIR DEBUT PROJECT. I am seeing a cycle of no physical album -> no quick revenue -> no promotion material -> no fansigns -> further marginalisation. If ONE isn't a physical album I will actually comBUST.

Additionally, it is also hella strange RB W makes them put out so few songs each time - NOT A GOOD PROMO TACTIC. Again we don't know if it's the boys' wishes or the company's, but I just hope they are okay with this sort of arrangement as not as frustrated as we are.
5. MV production and budget
I don't think there is anything to explain here. Just look at their MV and you can guess their budget. In comparison, UNGODLY.
(HOWEVER, the MVs still look fantastic even with a shit budget because they are all so charismatic and expressive)

6. Identity
Now comes the most 'sensitive' issue.
RB W stripping 1we's original name away is already a huge blow to their identity as a band. Now they are reduced to ‘the brother group of 1us’ by some fans, the company itself, media, etc.

Every, single, time they are introduced as ‘1us’s bro group’ in the first line I lose a year of my lifespan. THEY HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO THAT! THEY ARE A BAND. THEY ARE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS. THEY HAVE AN UNIQUE IDENTITY.
ALSO THEY ARE NOT A BACKUP BAND AND STOP TREATING THEM LIKE ONE

R BW also stripped our fandom name, color, lightstick, and didn’t bother to give us a replacement. They took away the fans’ identity too and this causes anomie within the fandom. We don’t know where anything is going and we’re all scared and angry but there is nothing we can do.
7. Conclusion
ARBEE better get your act tgt and give 1we what they deserve. You never even gave fans chances to spend on them. There is 0 merch, 0 albums, 0 fansigns, 0 larger scale concerts, 0 variety, 0 music shows.

I honestly think at this point you are just watching them free fall. I sincerely hope this comeback will change my mind. If things still don’t change, it’s better for them to switch agencies, change their name back to M AS 00 94 and continue as an underground band.
