Through this performance, Noze, the leader of WayB will make her first-ever appearance since she went into temporary hiatus on social media and schedules due to her controversy.
For a brief context of the controversy, Noze was accused of discriminating against small brands. The startups complained that the dancer was not posting their products on time on SNS or deleting them afterward, leaving her posts for luxury brands only.
Initially, Noze's agency, Starting House denied the claims but within a day, their statement was reversed.
Through the agency, Noze conveyed her apology, saying:
"The artists and we realize the seriousness of this issue and reflect on it, and we will do our best to prevent this from happening again."
Noze Criticized for Remaining Silent Amid Power Abuse Issue
Despite her position being told through the agency, Noze has been continuously criticized for hiding behind her agency, which protects her as a controversial party.
She also made netizens disappointed as her SNS activities that have been actively carried out have been suspended, leaving no apology letter or personal statement.
As the silence of Noze prolonged, which was already four days since the issue broke, netizens are reacting:
"Is she changing because of fame, or is it only now that your personality is being revealed?"
"Where did the person who said she would work hard in everything goes?"
"I heard there is no medicine for celebrity diseases."
Many comments are being posted on Noze's SNS post asking her for clarification. In addition, fans who are disappointed with it continue to unfollow her. Her Instagram followers have decreased from 3.38 million to 3.37 million as of July 7.
Nevertheless, some fans still want to give her a chance to explain herself. Thus, attention is being paid to whether or not she will open up about the situation of "gapjil" at the upcoming SWF reunion concert.
