[Instiz/Pann] SM + Woollim fans upset with Ryu Soo Jung claiming Lovelyz is under SM

[Instiz] Ryu Soo Jung's mistake is currently under controversy

Run down of Lovelyz radio incident [Youtube], which is currently under controversy on SNS because she didn't say she was under Woollim.

While talking to Jonghyun on radio,
Jonghyun: We're also SM's 000...
Ryu Soo Jung: (proudly, without hesitation) Ah~ we're SM too
Jonghyun: (Taken aback) Uhh...
Jung Jun Young: Lovelyz is under SM too?
Ryu Soo Jung: C&C, we're C&C

Korean Youtube comments:

"Soo Jung-ah, you're under Woollim... Not C&C but Woollim."

"Soo Jung-ah, you're under Woollim... Have more pride about Woollim.."

"Would she still have said she was SM too if she was not under a merger; even with the merge, Woollim has still maintained their name and has their own page on YouTube..; and their new song is totally a Woollim feel without any SM involvement.."

"You should've said Woollim..."

"Soo Jung-ah, you should've said Woollim. How can you so confidently say that you're under SM? You know that Inspirits have been so sensitive over that issue for so many months now and are still sensitive over it. Soo Jung, if you admit it just like that, then that makes all of us admit it too.. You're a rookie so be more careful!"

"Soo Jung unni, just because they merged does not mean you're under SM, you're under Woollim."

Pann: Lovelyz Soojung just said "We're SM too"

1. [+70, -0] Ugh, we worked so hard to clarify this issue and Soo Jung just goes and says that. Does she have no mind? With whose money does she even think she's promoting with?

2. [+69, -2] Does she not realize that INFINITE sacrificed a lot for Woollim to grow as big as they have now and that their debut was even possible because of the money INFINITE made... then she should be proud to be under Woollim but what's up with her;;

3. [+66, -0] Even if she said she was under C&C, why would she even say she's under SM too in that context anyway? She knows that the merger issue is something both fans are sensitive about.

4. [+42, -0] Did she really have to say "We're SM too" by even cutting Jonghyun off in the middle of his talk? ㅋㅋㅋ And she didn't even clarify that it was C&C until Jung Jun Young asked her ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ INFINITE suffered so much hate during the merger and she has no consideration for that at all. I'm not trying to put Woollim down but what she said is basically the same as some Woollim trainee going around lying that she is now an SM trainee because she passed Woollim's auditions.

5. [+42, -1] How hard must she have thought that she is an SM artist that she's able to say that so easily? INFINITE... Woohyun especially, went through so much during the news of the merger... Ryu Soo Jung, do you realize that the rehearsal room you practice in has the Woollim logo and the logo in front of your music video is Woollim too? If you wanted to be SM so bad, why didn't you audition for SM instead? ㅎㅎ

6. [+38, -0] "We're SM too" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why leave out the C&C part? And Woollim's the one working with C&C, that doesn't make you C&C too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+36, -0] Doubt she would've even mentioned the C&C bit if she wasn't asked about it. Even Jonghyun was like uhhh?? before he tried to work with it.

8. [+30, -1] Hul Ryu Soo Jung is a disappointment... With whose money does she think that she was able to debut, enjoy their new company building, and get new fans from?;;

9. [+29, -0] She doesn't know her own company? (Naver search that says Woollim as her agency)

10. [+28, -1] She sounds super proud about that too, like "I'm SM too!!" ㅋㅋ

"Mmm.. I'm an SM fan but yeah, this makes me uncomfortable."

"I know that non-fans won't think it's a big deal but as an INFINITE fan, it does make me uncomfortable. We went through so much during the merger but Lovelyz is Woollim first and foremost, a company that Woollim artists worked hard to build and maintain."

"I don't think she meant any harm.. I saw the video and she looked like she realized she made a mistake as well. It's a sensitive issue so she should be more careful in the future."

"Woollim should've come first..."

"I remember being so sad watching the INFINITE members cry when news of the merger first came out.."

"Ryu Soo Jung must think that the merger suddenly makes her an SM artist too"

"It's not a big mistake or anything but I understand why INFINITE fans are mad... It's a weird issue since yeah she's under Woollim but it's not like she isn't under SM either..."

"2013 was a difficult year for INFINITE fans. We got all the hate possible and were made a joke out of but still kept through it and clarified the issue as much as we could. Now, fans have been trying to keep quiet but the issue has been brought up by no one other than a labelmate junior in such a careless and thoughtless manner. Her senior artists have worked so hard to clarify the issue and she turned it into something so light like this."

"I think this is getting more serious.. reading the comments, it seems it's not only Woollim fans but SM fans that are angry over this too ㅠㅠ"
