Recently, an idol’s message to fans went viral online after they revealed the status of their dorms.
FANTASY BOYS’s Kang Minseo messaged fans through the fan messaging platform and revealed that their electricity had been cut off.
The electricity was cut off in our dorms, so I’m finally able to charge my phone and contact you…sorry. It’s not a power outage. I think they forgot to pay the electricity bill. I’m getting a bit stressed…
— Kang Minseo
And it seemed like it wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. Previously, member Sungmin revealed that their heater was broken.
Our heater is broken in this weather. I’m wearing my puffer jacket inside the house…
— Sungmin
Hearing this, netizens were furious at the agency for the way it was taking care of its idols.
- “If that’s the case, why even make idols…”
- “I’m seeing many people who shouldn’t be making idols anymore…”
- “I thought Kwangsoo had come to his senses since he’s still in the idol business…but damn..he doesn’t change.”
- “This is too much…”
- “Kwangsoo is such a low-life, even as he gets older. Don’t live a pathetic life. If you don’t have the ability, then don’t even start. I’d understand if the electricity in your house was cut off first…geez.”
Producer Kim Kwangsoo has faced criticism for the way he handled various controversies, from the T-ARA bullying scandal to allegations of assaulting singer Kim Jong Kook.
