As former Cube CEO (he got kicked out a year after GIDLE’s debut) he would have a lot of insider info when it comes to group members.
It’s the responsibility of the company to find out any “controversial” issues idols may have, and even if idols don’t tell the truth they have employees oversee any negative comments posted. With this info he may have known GIDLE’s weak spot.
Many Korean millennials are out of work now, so it’s not hard paying them under the table for special favors.
So he is trying to debut his own girl crush group called “Hot Issue” and their debut song is “gRATATA”. Obvious noise marketing.
Are the main Soojin accusers getting some “encouragement” behind the scenes and money to push their case?
Is ex-CEO involved and hoping that the public and fans will turn against Soojin & GIDLE so they will support his group instead? Allegedly.
