Fourth-generation group JUSTB debuted in 2021, but their recent schedule on the same day as a huge awards show has sparked heartbreak.

JUSTB released a video of the group busking in Sinchon on January 10.
In the video, members Geonu and Sangwoo were dancing and performing in front of fans.

While netizens loved the content, it also sparked heartbreak as a viral video shared that on the same day the group was busking, other idols, including those who debuted much later than JUSTB, were attending, performing, and winning awards at the Golden Disc Awards.

JUST B on the streets promoting themselves. Others on award stages receiving recognition. Not every group has the same resources, but JUST B keeps going and that matters. #JUSTB #kpop #reality #nugu

In the comments, while some hit back at CORTIS being used, many shared that it wasn’t specific, but just sharing how two boy groups can have such different realities in the industry despite the gap in debut. Many shared how it was sad JUSTB didn’t have the same luck as others, but wanted to share support for the group.
The video has gone viral with over 72,000 likes.
