[ A THREAD ] what happened to moas and +×+ during the transition period from STAR era to MAGIC era? What is the "hiatus"?

i made this thread to inform new moas, to motivate moas, and to show you how strong moas are. lets keep supporting the boys with all we have! 😁
First of all im very sorry that this thread will not be in chronological order bcs i wrote what came to mind first since there are so many things that i should recall from my memories, and these "memories" are not good memories at all 😭 also sorry for my not-so-perfect english
1. Wango Tango

for those who dont know, +×+ was invited to perform here. when they were posing on the pink carpet, a photographer made racist remarks towards them starting from mispronouncing their group name and saying “pose like you’re asian”
@/kidschoiceawrds apologized but moas were still angry because other than this issue, they decided not to air +×+'s performance on Freef0rm channel, where Wango Tango was televised. antis were also mad at that time, saying that +×+ did not deserve to be invited and perform there
2. VMAs nomination for Cat&Dog

When +×+ was nominated in VMAs (they were 4 months old at that time), people got mad. this is why "Cat&Dog is a bad song" drag was created by antis. someone even started a rumor that b1ghit paid VMAs to nominate them
3. p1nk eye, delayed comeback, canceled schedule, many people left

+×+'s first comeback was delayed TWICE due to health issues. 3 out of 5 members were diagnosed with c0njunctivitis. they had to cancel their plan to join Lotte Duty Free Family Concert
antis used this news to make "jokes" about their sickness
because their comeback was delayed twice, they thought they were in a lot of trouble. they worked hard to have a comeback while keep hoping that moas would stay with them and never leave
but many people did leave them. their twitter engagements (numbers of likes, retweets, etc.), vlive views, youtube views, all their numbers went down significantly because they were gone for such a long time. it was so hard for us to even hit 100k views for their vlives that time
4. ye0njun's back pain

ye0njun did not attend the 2019 M2 X Genie Music Awards (MGMA) because of sudden back pain so the rest +×+ members had to perform without him. be0mgyu had to carry so0bin by himself when performing crown and they changed some parts of the choreography
5. rookie of the year award at MGMA

on the same night, they won a roty award, but after that a hashtag was trended against them. because of that, so0bin then tweeted "no matter what anyone says, its really a precious award that our fans gave us"
5. Fandom name change

+×+'s fandom name was first announced as "Young Ones". before this, we used to call ourselves "txties" or just "txt stans". turns out that fandom name is already used by another artist so we became nameless again until they released a new one which is "moa"
wait i have something to do first 😭 ill continue later!!
