Taiwanese actor-singer Huang Weijin recently revealed on his social media that he lost his job following allegations of making inappropriate remarks about LE SSERAFIM.
Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about finding a new job in the new year. Colleagues such as Ivy Lee and Xiao Kui showed support with encouraging comments.

"Surprised that it cost him his job; it wasn't that bad, and he apologized right away."
