Wendy, in a conversation with a fan, politely urged a reconsideration of the support method and encouraged trust in the members regarding company matters. She expressed, “No more trucks and emails. We've been active for 10 years. We can handle it ourselves. We've got some power too.” Wendy demonstrated her concern for the fandom, suggesting, “Instead of spending money on protests, use that money to treat yourselves to some good food and drinks, as well as clothes.”
