The recent accuser posted a lot of receipts:

(The allkpop article doesn't show most of her proof.)
I bet Big Hit is just thrilled, since they recently bought into Pledis to acquire rights to Seventeen. Then again, Big Hit has a pretty sterling reputation with its groups, so maybe they can clean house.
Kpop as an industry will be fine. Hollywood had stuff like the Weinstein and Epstein scandals, both of which were bigger than school bullying, and has ticked right on. Heck, the ex-President of the US got caught paying off a porn star and the world didn't stop turning. Korea is a conservative society, so certain stars may be affected if allegations can be proven, but the industry as a whole will be fine.
What you may see, however, is companies vetting their trainees more thoroughly (talking to classmates, etc) so that you don't get in SEVENTEEN's situation where an established group gets caught up in one member's scandals. You may also see some companies start pulling the members out of school at earlier ages as a preventative measure.
Some groups do sing live, and you can tell because you'll hear them do adlibs that aren't in the studio version, or you'll hear the aspirated consonants pop off the mic at times (you hear this a lot with BTS's Jimin and Suga if they've got the headset close to their mouth). Or they do stripped-down versions of studio songs where it's very obviously live to show off their voices. So it depends on what group you're stanning. Other groups will sing live but use a backing track if they're not as confident they can maintain the vocals stably while dancing. How strong the backing track is compared to the live vocals depends on their sound engineers and mixers. Some companies are better about making their bands sing than others.
I don't care about either of these people. I think the people calling them out for age gap are silly, no one cares. I don't actually like Jennie, I don't think she's good at what she does (unless "what she does" means "being on social media" instead of acting like a real musician), and I'm not sure why she gets latitude when other performers wouldn't. Blackpick still don't have a discography or any complicated choreo, which is not her fault but hey! I'm sure she has plenty of free time since they're not doing releases. So not sure why anyone would be shocked by her dating, she certainly has time on her hands. If it makes them happy, fine.
