Upcoming Global K-Pop Group Struck By Wave Of Scandals Before Debuting
Upcoming girl global K-Pop group DE:VA has been struck with a wave of scandals.
Ahead of their debut, DE:VA revealed they had left their company, seemingly after the CEO was exposed for forcing trainees to send underwear photos.
Yet, it seems like two of the members have been caught in controversy.
Netizens shared the past behavior of member Mei.
That girl Ana/mei in de:va said the n word and she’s not black. This person tried to say she was 25% as if that’s a justification of her saying a slur. She also pulled a black girls wig off over a Korean man…..

It was addressed by the member and netizens noticed a recent post about her on the official social media account was deleted, leading many to think she was removed from the group.

The group hasn’t debuted yet, but they’re seemingly gaining attention for the wrong reasons.
