  • “This is the exact picture of your weight.”
  • “Weight checks are necessary because we need to know the person’s figure. If you don’t like this, how can you say you want to be a K-Pop idol?”
  • “It isn’t easy to become a K-Pop star in Korea. That’s why they are the world’s best.”

The company seemingly rebranded and despite the name change, netizens seemed concerned after an announcement that left a sour taste as fans linked it to past controversies.
