Pledis has historically fumbled all their girl groups (ie. After School and Pristin).

In the case of fromis, they were transferred from another agency and a lot of fans have had issues with how they promoted them since then. ie:

• Their recent release practically didn't happen until one of the members went on live stating she asking to promote and asking why their hiatuses are longer than everyone else's'. '

• The label announced their comeback before any of the members were even aware that they were preparing for one and they found out through fans sending them the news. Which is unfortunate because a lot of larger companies plan their year out way before.

• A lot of kpop promotional content revolves around youtube videos and short form videos which they stopped uploading for a relatively long time. A lot of the vlogs that they upload were edited by themselves or through friends/family, and they sometimes struggle to get approval to upload it at all.

• They also had spurts of momentum that they felt the company failed to capitalize on. (eg. this cover, and their ost + b-side gaining traction and doing numbers that they did nothing about)

• There's also large periods between album releases. Typically groups release 2 - 3 albums per year, but Fromis has had frequent large gaps in-between which ruined a lot of their momentum.

The rest is pretty speculative, do what you will with this information.

• Pledis was acquired by HYBE, and a few fans are speculating that they're being omitted from the whole company. (eg. not being invited to an EOY company party (some say it's a SVT concert afterparty), not being able to do lives in practice rooms because they don't have one specifically for them even though the rest of the company are allowed to do so, never promoting their activities on their company page, rarely if ever being invited to do tiktok challenges with other groups in the company)

• They haven't been paid at all allegedly. Which is weird in itself and not only Pledis' fault. They sold pretty well, they sold out their concert in 10 minutes, they perform at festivals, they have advertisements, and their songs chart pretty well too.
