(G)I-DLE Manager Under Fire for 'Disgusting' Behavior— Neverland Worry About the Idol's' Safety

In a recent development within the K-pop sphere, a netizen has come forward to accuse a high-ranked manager associated with (G)I-DLE of engaging in inappropriate behavior.

The allegations have ignited concerns among fans regarding the safety of the group members.

Manager A's Alleged Misconduct

The netizen, identified only by their online handle, alleged that a staff member, referred to as Staff B, had been subjected to what they described as "disgusting" behavior from the high-ranked manager, known as Manager A.

According to the netizen's account, Manager A initiated contact with Staff B through social media platforms, despite minimal interaction during professional engagements.

During the event, Staff B dealt with other staff members more and didn't really interact with Manager A. They didn't exchange any contact information. After a few months, Manager A somehow found Staff B's Instagram account and sent her a message saying he had some questions. However, he didn't really send her any questions; it was just an excuse to get in touch. Staff B ignored it. Another few months passed, and Manager A messaged Staff B again, asking for her Kakao Talk account. Since there may be a need to keep in contact for work reasons, Staff B agreed.

Reportedly, Staff B received unsolicited messages from Manager A, expressing admiration for her appearance and requesting personal contact information.

One night, Staff B received a message from Manager A. Not sure if he was drunk or whatever, but he said Staff B is very cute. He wanted Staff B's phone number so he could call her before going to bed. He also told Staff B that she could call him if she ran into trouble, and more. He also asked Staff B if she was friends with Girl C, Staff B's gorgeous friend. It seems like he found Girl C through Staff B's Instagram account. In conclusion, considering he even found an ordinary staff member's contact information and pursued them proactively, Staff B feels that Manager A isn't a good person and is concerned. She wants everyone to know about this and watch out.

The netizen further detailed instances where Manager A purportedly made inappropriate advances towards Staff B, including comments on her appearance and inquiries about her personal relationships.

Fan Outcry and Calls for Action

The allegations, shared widely across social media platforms, have prompted a significant reaction from (G)I-DLE fans.

What the heck, you even did this to a staff member...how did Cube Entertainment recruit their staff?

- Fan

Many expressed shock and dismay at the accusations, questioning the recruitment practices of Cube Entertainment, the agency representing the popular girl group.

There are many appropriate ways you could protect someone, but this manager is disgusting. He even did this to a staff member. Manager, if you have any self-awareness, please resign. Don't make me beg. Cube Entertainment, please scrutinize your workers and take this seriously. It's not safe to have this kind of person near (G)I-DLE. Don't stay silent and not do anything; that really makes people angry.

- Fan

"Hurry up and make him leave. This is so disgusting, and yet you still let him work by (G)I-DLE's side?" pleaded another fan, echoing the sentiments of those who expressed concern for the safety of the group members. The outcry from fans underscores the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful environment within the K-pop industry.

As allegations of misconduct continue to surface, there is a growing expectation for agencies and management personnel to prioritize the well-being of artists and staff members alike.

Awaiting Official Response

At the time of reporting, neither Cube Entertainment nor representatives for (G)I-DLE have issued an official statement addressing the allegations. However, the widespread attention garnered by the netizen's accusations underscores the urgency for a transparent and thorough investigation into the matter.

"Yue, if you don't fire that guy soon, you're done. I'm telling you."
