When looking back at the sequence of events that has unfolded up to this point, it is clear that there are several points where the information conflicts with itself. That is likely one of the main reasons why fans have begun to question the situation. Before I explain my own perspective, there is one important premise that needs to be established first: Shelly and Pundao were in a romantic relationship. However, I want to make it clear that whether they are still in a relationship now is not relevant to the point I am making here. In Shelly’s first statement, she clearly referred to that person as her “ex-partner.” She maintained the same position when she later addressed the matter during her livestream. If that is the case, why did MME choose to specifically use and emphasize the term “overlapping relationships” in its official announcement? And why did the company tell fans that Pundao was the one who decided to discontinue their future activities as a pair? This leads to another contradiction. If Pundao truly informed the company that very same day that she could no longer continue working with Shelly, why did she later tell reporters at her next scheduled appearance that she had learned about the situation at the same time as the fans and had still not received a clear explanation from Shelly? If Pundao had not yet heard Shelly’s explanation, does it really make sense that within just 76 minutes, she had already decided to end their activities as a CP? Would it not have been more natural for her to first hear a clear explanation from the other person, take time to process the situation and organize her thoughts, and only then decide what position she wanted to take? Personally, I am not particularly interested in what intentions MME may have had in handling this situation. Because regardless of their intentions, it does not change the fact that the decisions they made and the way they handled the situation were wrong. What I cannot understand, as a consumer, is how I am supposed to view the behavior of a CEO whose company is supposed to protect its artists, yet leaves both of its own artists exposed to public attacks and pressure while acting as if none of it is the management’s responsibility. I also do not understand how we are supposed to interpret the behavior of an employee who appears to repeatedly undermine the image of artists under their own company. And there are still far too many unanswered questions. Why is Pundao’s November schedule completely empty? Does the company intend to give Shelly another work schedule at all? Why did the company choose this particular timing to plan Pundao’s solo fan meeting? And regarding that fan meeting, did the company actually discuss the event properly and directly with the artist herself? As the head of a company, I hope you take the time to reflect on whether you are truly carrying out your responsibilities and handling your work appropriately. And as an individual, and as an adult, I also hope you take a moment to ask yourself whether you are truly fulfilling your role in a responsible and proper way.
