Q: Who is Long Danni? What is WJJW?

A: WJJW (Wajijiwa ent.) is XNINE’s company, and Long Danni (LDN) is their CEO. WJJW is home to not only X9, but Rocket Girls, R1SE, and contestants from “The Coming One” (it’s a tencent/wjjw survival show for soloists, for those that don’t know about this show). Check their website here for a list of their artists. (Ed. Note: She was one of the judges on X-fire.)

Q: Why does WJJW suck?

A: WJJW was formed in 2017 and they have 50+ artists... they’re all from survival shows that LDN made. As you can guess, most of them do not get promoted properly or get fair treatment. It’s just too many people, too little resources. Most of them end up on more survival shows so they can have a decent career, like the XNINE members and Zhou Zhennan (but they’re back in this shithole company). WJJW also don’t tend to do much to protect their artists or handle scandals. I have no clue what the fuck they do in that building.

Q: What is the difference between EE Media and WJJW? X-fire was made by EE Media… 

A: EE media’s CEO is also LDN. She formed WJJW to separate from EE Media. Basically EE Media also sucks since the CEO is the same person. Wikipedia can educate you more about this.

Q: I watched X-fire and the winning team is different from XNINE - why?

A: X-fire originally planned for the winning team, which ended up being the White Team (GJC, WJC, GZF, ZL), to debut...

But for Lord knows why, after the show ended, EE Media held an online voting poll. This voting poll was very vague and didn’t make much sense… but basically every 3 days, a new member would be added to the group to debut with them. They never specified how many members they would add. Fans were pissed, because it made the entire show seem useless. Anyway, this voting poll was rigged. If it wasn’t rigged, Han Mubo and Bai Shu would’ve likely been in the group instead of Zexi and Xujia, due to their popularity being way higher. Also, Chuyue posted (then deleted) a video of him talking about recording the EP, and this was before he was announced as a winner LOL king. The X-fire Weibo along with the voting poll were all deleted - probably LDN covering up her bullshit. 

Q: *insert where is zexi question*

A: In February 2018, his ex-girlfriend exposed him on Weibo by posting a lot of evidence that he was 1) cheating on her 2) cheating on at least 3 other girls 3) having relationships with minors 4) being an overall asshole! It’s true because after this post came out, CZX stopped taking part in XNINE activities with absolutely no context given. Despite him having “XNINE” in his Weibo name, the members along with WJJW do not consider him a member. He’s not listed as a member under the company site. The members look uncomfortable around him now too.

Q: What bad things have happened to XNINE?

A: The newly-added members (after the poll) got a lot of shit, including threats and other nasty comments. They were threatened with violence at their first concert. Luckily nothing happened! XNINE’s solo stans earlier on were very extreme; most fans didn’t get along. Uh, Peng Chuyue did some spicy noodle challenge on a show and for some reason the “milk” was fucking white paint. He had to go to the hospital for that... no explanation from WJJW, only PCY telling fans he was okay. XNINE also have no group variety shows. Very few music-related promotions, a lot of random hiatuses. The members are rarely together, because WJJW wanted them to be actors for some reason. WJJW staff has made the members look bad (an editor for their album changed their interview answers, to be specific). The list goes on.

Q: How was XNINE’s popularity back in the day? What happened?

A: XNINE debuted in 2016; consider this was before all the produce shows/groups. They were considered quite successful. They won many rookie awards and went on some big variety shows. 

Their debut album sold pretty well too!! For their first concert in 2017, they sold out 10k tickets. Their popularity started to dip a little during the musical hiatus they had in 2017, but then came up a bit after Oh! My Emperor came out and they dropped “Keep Online” in 2018. However, it appeared as if WJJW had given up on trying to give them any proper promotions or keep them together as a group.

Q: Do XNINE have any physical albums?

A: They released a limited edition of their “Keep Online” album in 2018, but those aren’t available now.

Q: Why are XNINE not on Spotify/Itunes?

A: IDK - ask WJJW why they decided to put Wu Jiacheng’s entire discography except his best song A Docile Cat on Spotify! (Ed. Note: Peng Chuyue’s solo work is also there.)

Q: Why did Chuyue and YB line go on Produce Camp?

A: Considering individual fan sales from XNINE’s albums, along with just how differently the members get promoted, those 4 were the least popular members of the group and were basically jobless. At this time, Xiao Zhan, Gu Jiacheng and Guo Zifan were busy acting, and Wu Jiacheng was focusing on his music/concerts. The other 4 had no plans for anything. It makes perfect sense why they decided to join the show. No, they were not forced by WJJW - Chuyue said himself it was a choice.

Q: What’s the deal with the fat WJJW rabbit?

A: Oh, Huo Mala is just a company pet, not owned by anyone. He has his own Weibo acc, supertopic, and even rabbit merch. Sometimes the Weibo acc posts WJJW artists feeding Mala or giving him new clothes, and sometimes Mala shows up at random WJJW artists’ events. I feel like this rabbit gets better treatment than all WJJW artists combined.

Q: OMG LDN hates Xiao Zhan gege?! 

A: Um, she hates all of XNINE… Xiao Zhan got the most solo promotions/activities (along with Wu Jiacheng, I believe) out of all the members, since he is the most popular, after all. There are issues with how XZ is treated in terms of his personal space and how much he’s being overworked, but for people to treat his past/history as him having it the worst off is not accurate at all. Think about it: Xiao Zhan wasn’t jobless to the point where he had to join another survival show and re-debut. A lot of the content you see about how sad his life is or whatever is based off of dumb rumours. Don’t believe everything you see on the internet, especially if it’s written/said by someone that hasn’t known the artist for long.

Q: How many cats do the members have?

A: Refer to this image here. May change if Zhiguang decides to breed more cats LMAO.

(update 10/02)

Q: Did xnine disband?! What's going on with the XNINE members also in R1SE?!

A: Although GJC said "this may be our last concert" @ XNINE's last concert (lol) before their hiatus, they haven't officially disbanded or anything!! The members in R1SE (Zhao Lei, Zhiguang, Xujia) have a 2 year contract, so R1SE disbands in 2021. we don't know if XNINE will do anything together at that point, but this is what we know as of now. it's just a hiatus with focus on solo activities.
