Roh Jisun of the group Fromis_9 was accused of mistreating her manager, causing a controversy.

On July 26th, a video of Roh Jisun's recent treatment of a manager at a baseball field spread across YouTube and other online communities.

On April 6 at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, a baseball game was played between Kiwoom Heroes and LG Twins, and Fromis_9 performed a celebratory performance and threw out the first pitch.

Afterward, while sitting in the stands to watch baseball, member Roh Jisun was observed calling the manager with a so-called "finger snap."

Several netizens who witnessed this behavior felt like "the manager is being disrespected". The gesture "finger snap" was used to call servants when the status system was still in place, especially in the Western world, because it is considered rude.

However, some people showed advocacy reactions such as "It's something we can do because we're comfortable", "It's a controversy over one thing", and "Everything is controversial".

Fromis_9, which Roh Jisun is a member of, is a Mnet audition program. Last month on July 27th, they released their fifth mini album, "From our Memento Box," and made a comeback.

Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
