In July, Noze was accused of abusing her power against small brands. Initially, her agency denied the accusations, but it was later on confirmed as more brands attested to it.
Although Noze bowed her head at the end, she was criticized for "playing the victim" at first and for waiting eight days before she released her apology.
As the controversy intensified, the "Hey Mama" choreographer was accused of having the so-called "celebrity disease."
Staff A, who allegedly worked with her before, shared that she made them "crawl on all fours" on set to keep up with the atmosphere for the dancer.
After Noze's issue surfaced, Red Velvet Irene eventually drew attention due to the similarity in their controversies.
When the female idol debuted in 2014, she established her name with her trademark "Cold Beauty" but "Warm Personality" characteristics. However, in 2020, she was suddenly accused by a long-time editor of verbally abusing them and showing rude manners during filming.

The issue became bigger when stylists who worked with Red Velvet, staff members who worked with SM artists, photographers, and various editors pressed "like" on the editor's revelation post.
When Irene apologized, the second abuse of fans toward the editor became a problem.
K-Media Point Out Differences Between Noze and Red Velvet Irene
Despite similarities, the two stars' responses created different results.
Even after the controversy over power abuse, Irene seemed to be doing well without any damage. After returning to the group center, she was still popular as ever. This was especially evident when Red Velvet's "Feel My Rhythm" was released in March.
Of course, it wasn't without any consequences. Currently, Irene's personal activities and advertisements are all cut off. But since Irene was backed by a big agency SM Entertainment, her career is not at risk at all.
Unfortunately, Noze, who was just starting in the entertainment scene, is also being managed by a start-up company.
Top Star News stated:
"Wouldn't it be a problem if all the advertisements that Noze used to have power were cut off?"
In fact, her advertising career is already in a crumble. A female health functional food brand company recently changed its advertising model from Noze to Kim Sejeong.
It is also reported that other brands that Noze is working for as an advertising model are also displeased with her attitude and are one by one cutting ties with her.
