When people work and spend as much time together as K-Pop idols do, no matter how well they get along, there are bound to be disagreements and spats from time to time. We likely don’t hear about most of them since they usually happen behind the scenes and only company staff members are there to witness it, and most seem pretty good at keeping idol issues a secret.
That’s why, when a K-Pop company staff member recently went on social media and shared, in real time, that members of a group were fighting, it took the fandom by surprise and many people have strong opinions about the matter.
According to the staff member, the fight was so bad that they had to halt shooting because of it. You can see their post below.

It’s unclear who the staff member is or what company they work for, and they seem to have shut down or privated their account at this time. Therefore, there aren’t really any clues as to which K-Pop group this was about, but many speculate it must be one from a smaller label to have a staff member behave in this way.
Several people have condemned the staff member for going public about this kind of behavior, calling it unprofessional and potentially damaging to their and the idols’ careers.
On the other hand, some people are encouraging this kind of transparency and are saying we should let the staff member speak, seemingly amused by the whole situation.
How do you feel about the situation?
