GWSN has reported to be struggling with finances and accommodation, after their legal dispute with company, The Wave Music.
Here's what happened.
'Bankruptcy'? GWSN Struggles With Finances & Accommodation - What Happened?
On January 22, South Korean newspaper Hankyoreh reported that K-pop group GWSN had won their case against their agency, The Wave Music. For more context, the group was in the middle of a legal dispute due to the company "neglecting" the members' basic needs.
Swin Lee addressed how much of GWSN's fandom, GROOs, are asking him about the group's next release. The producer also acknowledged his support for GWSN, but he hasn't received an income for his hard work, despite producing it all by himself. Swin Lee added that he's not the right person to ask when it comes to the group's updates.
Fans reacted to the situation:
"What is Wave Ent doing at this point? The most recent comeback was their best-selling one, yet producers and staff are coming out saying they weren't paid. Where did the money go? Because there were little to no promotions for TOSOTM, and we haven't had a comeback in almost a year."
"The problem is that company has already had past problems of employees not getting paid. So, my best bet is that the money they earned from their latest comeback went to the people they hadn't paid before."
