Division 1 apologized over 2 recent incidents
to recap, the banner was designed by a stay. She ended up paying for it as well and when she emailed div 1 to ask for a sit at isac, noone replied.
Now Div 1 has apologized and refunded her.
The 2nd incident happened at isac as described in the apologize letter.
However, it has escalated a bit on twitter as according to some twits going around, div1 has lied about the employee. Div1 said she? is contract/part time, but kstays said they have seen her since debut.
Disclaim: this is only based on what i saw on twitter (translated twits from big accounts and pretty reliable in translation). Have not had time to double check everything myself (whether kstays say so and whether is complain is valid)
Also some istays raised concern related to the discrepancy in div1 treatment toward istay. I saw a twit of an istay who spent $ and time to make banner for skz concerts. Div1 approved and collected to toss it aside and not use it at the concert at all.
Will chain some relevant twits below.
original op deleted the post about the banner as div1 has apologizedthis entire div1 situation is insane… although they apologised for the two incidents that happened during isac, apparently the staff member that was claimed to be an outsider isnt true at all? kstays are saying they’ve seen the staff member since debut…

oh.. seeing some kstays tweets saying that the outsider staff is not really an outsider and is someone they have been seeing for a long time and ever since debut.. div1 is just saying that staff is an outsider but is not..?

i originally wasnt mad bc stays liked the project so it was worth it. but we spent thousands of our own $ to fund those banners & div1 approved them but tossed it aside at the concert ☹️ this is like a slap in the face bc the boys didnt see the banners at all & div1 doesnt care

for context, every maniac show at the usa tour had an officially approved banner project. previously (& at other shows) the group would be given the banners by staff. but this tour, even though liven*tion took our banners, the boys never got any banners in the end 🥲

clarifying that stays were in charge of creating, funding, distributing the banners to every stay. div1 just had to approve them & give 8 banners to the 8 kids🙃 i wasnt mad until i saw how quickly they responded to kstay issue bc it feels our project doesnt matter bc we're istay
