Fans Are Disgusted After Ricky Exposes Company For Forgery
On August 6, 2025, the trailer for the K-pop group’s first full album, Never Say Never, was dropped. In the trailer, fans noticed a Polaroid of Ricky and Gyuvin with a note. After reading Ricky’s message for Gyuvin, fans were all fuzzy and warm. They loved it so much and kept sharing it on X. However, Ricky later shared that someone had copied his handwriting without his permission. He talked about the trailer and asked why no one asked him first.
Fans were quick to react. Many felt WAKEONE crossed a line by forging Ricky’s handwriting.
One fan said that the company studied Ricky’s writing and used it without asking. They called it creepy and accused WAKEONE of using Ricky and Gyuvin for attention.
Another fan questioned why the company didn’t just ask Ricky to write the note himself.
They felt that the company disrespected both the members. Some said WAKEONE’s actions were unnecessary and said that using a random font or getting Ricky’s permission would have been simple. Take a look at their reaction below!
