I'm so sick and tired of fans blaming SourceMu for some GFriend's recent mishaps that should not be the company's fault. Wrote a tweet regarding Umji's sprain today and I saw some people bringing in the other mishaps as well and I thought I need to explain.

1. Umji's left thigh sprain (Oct '16)

As I said in my tweet, we can't really blame it on SourceMu and the main reason why we can't, in my point of view, is that this type of sprain doesn't really come from overworking- I've searched that it comes from jumping, sprinting etc. i.e. movements that require you to use force on your knees to push yourself off the ground. Another common cause is a hard, direct hit in the area of the muscle. I don't know how Umji got that injury but it doesn't seem like "too much dance practice" or whatsoever.

2. Yuju's thumb sprain (Aug '16)

I am not sure how she got it but most common causes are exerting too much force on it (e.g. falling down and landing on your thumb when using your hand to support yourself -> a very common incident amongst patients of these thumb sprains), or when the thumb is bent to an extreme position. Although knowing Yuju, my guess is she hurt it doing something dumb as she is always (cutely) dumb or she fell (that cause I stated earlier) because she's kinda clumsy (the day she got her cast off, GFriend did a V app broadcast and she fell haizzzz hahaha)

3. ShinB's shoulder (Jul-Sep? '15, Jul '16)

This story is damn famous everyone is talking about this HAHAHA basically, ShinB's been having a dislocated shoulder joint since she was a kid. So ofc it hurts. Since Me Gustas Tu and Navillera have choreos that require lots of shoulder work, her shoulder starts to hurt. Simple. Nothing got to do with SourceMu "torturing/overworking" them.

4. Umji's sick spells (Jul '16)

People get flu sometimes. 

XD Tbh no one has stated anything clear about this so I don't know, but it might be the weather because July-August is the summer rainy season in Korea. It couldn't be because of overworking because GFriend didn't have a lot of activities then (there was a lot, but not as much as recently i.e. August-October). They were just starting Navillera promotions- I think only about a week into it? But being tired can be a possible cause too. From what I know, GFriend had been (still are) losing on a lot of sleep.

5. ShinB's sty (11? Feb '16)

This is generally an infection in the eye by some bacteria so you really have 0 reason to blame it on Source Music (there's this video which says it's due to busy schedule lmao bull). Some possible causes include sharing of eye makeup with an infected person or leaving your makeup on for too long (GFriend doesn't do that as we know), and this you really cannot blame SourceMu because if we're talking about the first reason because if that's the case all of GFriend would be infected and not just ShinB so yeah it might just be another case of a type of supposedly harmless bacteria turning nasty hence an infection (more information here!)

6. ShinB collapsing onstage (3 Nov '16)

SourceMu has revealed that it was dizzy spells after she was checked in the hospital. Most likely reason is fatigue and overworking and yes this is SourceMu's fault but let's also see the reasons behind this:

i) GFriend is SourceMu's only source of income
ii) They've been taking in a lot of trainees recently so they need to fund these trainees (most likely training)
iii) They're doing this so they can quickly develop another group so GFriend won't need to work so hard in the future and remain as their only source of income

So it's for GFriend's benefit in the long run but in the short run they're tired out. I think I'm blaming it on their bad planning (if they're that short on money they shouldn't have renovated their quarters earlier this year...) but then again they didn't mean to overwork the girls and cause them harm. 

ShinB is so unlucky lmao she has the most misfortunes haiz my baby... Hahaha I can't think of any more incidents as of now but if you happen to remember more please do remind/inform me haha my brain isn't really working now but I'll update this as and when something happens because some nasty Buddies just can't get enough of insulting SourceMu :) HAHAHA jk
