>As the representative, I sincerely apologize for the confusion yesterday’s notice has caused WAV.
>The upcoming Grand Gravity was being prepared under the project tripleS msnz (misonyoz), where all 24 members will be divided into four units of six. Certain details of this project had to remain confidential, even from the members themselves. For example, the four leaders who picked the letters m, s, n, z during the teaser would be called to secret locations on schedules that were not shared with the rest of the members.
>Because of this, there were differences between the schedules and information that the members were aware of, the limited information shared inside MODHAUS who were directly involved with the project. For security reasons, even within the management team, only team leaders were informed, while on-site managers were not aware of these schedules, plans, or information.
>It is therefore understandable that you may have questions about why the Grand Gravity plan conflicted with the notices regarding a member’s wellness break and the fan sign event.
>This tripleS msnz Grand Gravity is a large scale event in which WAV will decide the songs for each of the four units, alongside the Gravity members. Producer Park SoHyun played an important role in this process. With a strong sense of responsibility, she pushed herself to try to finish the song despite her poor condition under the tight schedule. At the same time, her desire to keep her promises to fans who were waiting for her at the fan sign event caused repeated disruptions to the schedule.
I deeply regret not sharing these circumstances with you earlier. Our ambition to present something unprecedented, combined with our effort to maintain secrecy for the project, unfortunately created confusion for both the fans and the members. For this, I am truly sorry.
>Yesterday’s apology still held back many details in order to protect the project. However, we have decided that being open with WAV is more important than maintaining secrecy if it risks causing greater disappointment.
>Once again, I apologize for the confusing notices regarding the fan sign event. We will provide information on compensation and additional events as soon as possible.
>To the tripleS members who must have felt unsettled, and to WAV who were confused and disappointed, I extend my sincerest apologies once again.
>Thank you.

Hot take incoming: Personally I don’t believe fans should be entitled to every single detail and inner working of a group and its label. Barring abuse and neglect, if a company wants to operate without transparency in order to build anticipation or keep specifics and leaks under wraps, who cares? Fans have become so entitled.

At least it looks like they have good plans for the gravity (sorting gravity is back!). I hope they can plan better so members can rest.

I’m glad Jaden released this statement. It definitely clears up some concerns, though not all of them, as I’m sure fans will still have questions about how things ended up like this. I know some Orbits make Jaden Jeong enemy #1, and I do understand some of their complaints with him (trust me, as an OnlyOneOf fan, *I get it*), but I do appreciate that he least attempts some kind of transparency and accountability in these kinds of situations. Hopefully they aren’t just empty words.
