“The company has done its best for its artists,” ABYSS Company said in a statement. It has made proposals to the artists whether it is concerts, program recordings, album releases and other activities. “But the final decision lies with the members, and the company fully accepts the members’ opinions.” Therefore, during the negotiation process, some members had objections and were unable to actively implement the proposed plan. At this point, the company feels very regretful.” Alluding to Zhao Xianya’s lack of cooperation, she also said helplessly that the other party’s accusations were not true. .
▲The spark of this dispute was that the company did not ask Urban Zakapan to take a Mid-Autumn Festival group photo together. However, the company’s position was that one of the members, Zhao Xianya, had left, so it thought it would be difficult to get Urban Zakapan to participate in the photoshoot.

ABYSS Company went on to give an example. If an artist accepts a work invitation from a song in private, generally speaking, it is not an official schedule and no car will be provided.

Now it has turned into a situation of mutual fighting. The company said it regrets that it will try its best to negotiate with the members of Urban Zakaba in the future.
This statement slightly reversed the direction of public opinion. However, some netizens raised doubts, “Why did the other two members of Urban Zakapan not speak out?” Everyone has his own opinion.
