Read to know more about what happened.
GWSN Producer Says He Hasn't Been Paid For His Work
Fans of GWSN known as GROOs have been asking the producer when the girl group would release another album. They are excited to hear new songs from their idols or even just an update. After all, "The Other Side of the Moon" was released on May 26, 2021, so it's almost been a year.

However, the producer seemed upset over GROOs asking him the same questions over and over again. So, he took to his Instagram Story to explain that he can't give them any updates just yet because he hasn't even been paid for his work on last year's album.
In his lengthy statement, Swin Lee said that he cares a lot about GWSN and he doesn't blame them for not being paid.
But the producer also wants everyone to know that he worked on the album on his own and never got paid for it.
He also said that he will always support GWSN but if GROOs will keep asking him for an update, it seems they've come to the wrong place.
GROOs Side With GWSN Producer
GROOs were quick to apologize to the producer. They also expressed their disappointment toward whoever is in charge of paying Swin Lee.
