S.H.E "criticises" Twins, discuss?

Here's the article:
Twins fans demand an apology from S.H.E

Since the Edison sex scandal, the image of Twins have been affected because of Gillian (Ah Gill). She hasn't been out in the public eye for a while and Charlene (Ah Sa) has been busy coping on her own. There has been reports that Twins would be back together next year. At the same time, the girl band S.H.E was reportedly said on (FM S.H.E) that "Twins have disappeared and they don't exist any more. We can only remember them." As a result, Twins fans were furious about the comment and they demand an apology from S.H.E.

The Taiwanese media wanted to clarify that report. Although S.H.E hasn't replied directly, a spokesperson speaking on their behalf of the company replied "It was from the news that they knew about the disband of Twins. If that is not true, let's hope we can see Twins new record again soon."

DISCUSS:
What action should be taken now to resolve this problem?

As a Twins and S.H.E fan, I understand why other Twins fans want an apology because our idols have been dissed and the comment is kind of rude. On the other hand, I also understand that S.H.E probably didn't know whether Twins disbanded or not because they just don't have the time to read up on that type of news and stuff. But if you aren't sure, why would you bring it up? The way Selina and Ella reacted to their guest's answer is what bugs me. They asked their guest which was his favorite Mandarin group. Ella told him to think about his answer wisely. He said Twins. There was a lot of "what?"s going around the room. Selina made her comment about Twins disbanding. But just because a group disbanded doesn't mean they still can't have fans. If S.H.E disbanded, would that mean every one of you would stop liking them? It seems pretty obvious that they expected their guest to say that his favourite was S.H.E, and when he said the name of their top competition (in the past now, I suppose), they overreacted to save face.

Just to end this bitter fight between Twins fans and S.H.E fans, I think S.H.E or at least Selina and Ella should apologize for their remarks and hopefully they'll be more careful with their words next time.

I basically explained it all in the first post. Basically Charlene shrugged the comment off and S.H.E explained that their remark was blown out of proportion or something.

[gby78]

in my opinion, S.H.E doesn't have a fault, why?
because they said that it was only in the news. they only get it for the album. but i think it's true that twins disband.
i hope, S.H.E & twins will be friends. ^^
and another thing, it's very mean to REQUEST of demand an apology. just a thought. ^^

Actually the fact is that they have not disbanded. Yes Charlene has been doing solo activities for the year and Gillian has been taking a break from the entertainment industry, but no one ever said Twins was breaking up. So yes, S.H.E probably heard Twins broke up from an incorrect news source, but it's one of those topics that you shouldn't talk about unless there's an official statement.

I don't think it's mean for fans to demand an apology. I mean, imagine if this incident was vice versa and Twins "insulted" S.H.E. S.H.E fans would definently demand an apology. Or imagine if this was a fight on the playground. If the bully pushes you to the ground, the teacher is going to make the kid apologize. So there's no harm in demanding an apology, if you've done something wrong. Which S.H.E did. I'm not blaming them for "insulting" Twins, I think their fault was assuming the rumours were true and not letting the radio guest say that he liked Twins the most.
