so….fire everybody!

Overview

The video is a highly critical “rant” about the company and management behind the KATSEYE group (referred to throughout as “Katai/Katsai”). The presenter argues that the group’s “Wild era” has become chaotic and damaging for both members and fans. They claim the problems are systemic—rooted in scheduling, leadership, promotions, and decision-making—rather than being the fault of the members themselves.

Main arguments and claims

Tour should be postponed due to member instability

• The presenter argues the group cannot realistically tour when multiple members are not fully available.
• They mention:
  • “indefinite hiatus” for two members, and
  • an additional injury.
• They criticize the idea of continuing the tour with reduced staffing, and suggest:
  • postponing the tour, or
  • offering partial refunds proportional to how many members fans can actually see.

Pressure and burnout are framed as the central cause

• Sophia is cited as the clearest example of overwork and mental health strain.
• The presenter argues that if leadership and workload do not change, other members may end up experiencing similar breakdowns.
• They emphasize that the situation reflects deeper internal dysfunction in how the group is being run.

Injury risk is linked to choreography and styling demands

• The presenter argues that dangerous or physically taxing choreography—along with hazardous footwear (e.g., stilettos without adequate platforms)—is contributing to injuries.
• They compare this to earlier incidents, such as neck injuries after high-movement choreography.
• They call for choreography changes to be safer, especially given the apparent pattern of injuries.

Merch and publicity treatment of a member is criticized as unprofessional

• A major complaint is that Manon is absent from merch items/charms even though the merch is being sold.
• The presenter interprets this as treating her as if she may not return.
• They demand clearer communication—such as an announcement rather than leaving fans in “limbo”—and argue the handling has been mishandled publicly.

Uneven public messaging by management leadership

• The presenter disputes how public figures responded when different members were affected.
• They claim some responses were dismissive toward Manon-related issues, while being more dismissive (in their view) in other cases as well.
• They also suggest internal/private discussions may have influenced public comments, implying mismanagement rather than blaming the member herself.

Brand deals are criticized as prioritizing money over stability

• The presenter claims KATSEYE’s sponsorships and advertisements continue despite the group “falling apart.”
• They argue the heavy advertising load conflicts with the group’s identity.
• They suggest greed or profit priority is overriding member wellbeing and fan-first planning.

Overall conclusion: management is “failing” across multiple fronts

The presenter repeatedly asserts that whoever is managing the group is responsible for:

• member hiatuses and injuries,
• unsafe workload and choreography choices,
• unprofessional merch/public communication, and
• a money-heavy promotional strategy.

They also explicitly call for firing a manager named “Missy,” blaming that person for ongoing negative internal dynamics, including a claim of personal agenda.

Music quality is also condemned

• In addition to operational complaints, the presenter argues releases from this era are “bad.”
• They say management’s promotional claims (“you guys hate fun”) don’t match the perceived quality or the broader chaos surrounding the group.
• They contrast the current decline with an earlier period described as more stable and successful (“a year ago… peak”).

Presenter’s suggested actions

• Postpone the tour until enough members are available (referencing a goal of “at least five members”).
• Change management (they suggest switching companies could be better).
• Fire the manager “Missy.”
• Reduce risk by altering choreography and performance demands to prevent further injuries.
• Issue clearer public statements about member statuses rather than leaving fans without answers.
• Shift priorities away from ads/sponsorships toward healthier schedules and member wellbeing.

Presenters or contributors

• No other presenters or contributors are mentioned.
• The subtitles reflect one primary speaker/presenter (the channel host).
