Following Taemin’s alleged move to BPM Entertainment, netizens are deeply disappointed and surprised at MC Mong and BPM Entertainment’s influence.
- I’m disappointed in MC Mong.
- MC Mong? Seems like many SM Entertainment artists go over to MC Mong’s. Didn’t some EXO members also plan to go over? Lee Seung Gi also got cursed out for being close with him. Isn’t he also on trial right now with Kang Jong Hyun?
- People are saying many longtime SM Entertainment artists, but aren’t they the only company who continues to sign with experienced artists in the first place?
- MC Mong???
- Gasp, seems like Taemin is leaving too.
- They said that it’s Baekhyun’s company, and there are rumors that they they already began planning for a solo concert.
- Just who is MC Mong that he’s taking so many SM Entertainment kids?
- There’s always a reason for people leaving. Why are people telling him to stay or go when it isn’t their lives?
Although BPM Entertainment had once denied MC Mong’s involvement in the company’s management, many netizens believe that he is still the power behind the company. Netizens allege that he is not involved only on paper, due to his multiple controversies. He was originally registered as the executive director around the founding of the company. Later, BPM Entertainment claimed that he is now no longer a director.
