K-Pop agency C9 Entertainment has been under fire recently for various issues regarding their girl group cignature.
Previously, they were criticized for sexualizing the group in their newly released song, “POONGDONG,”as many felt that they wore revealing outfits, despite the song being a summer concept.
it’s not just “let women wear what they want” it’s that you can see members trying to cover their chests, a whole shot of their crotch, using shots of their shoulders that don’t show their clothes, using an angle that looks down when they’re wearing the bikinis… use your brain https://t.co/JdMLYgR1MS

Also, member Jeewon appeared on the YouTube series, No Bbaku Tak Jae Hoon and was asked to star in a porn video by Japanese porn star Yuna Ogura.
Although the question was not intended to be offensive, netizens were appalled at the treatment of their guest on the show.
However, this time, the agency is under fire again for allowing the group to film a dance challenge video with the Japanese porn star Yuna Ogura from the previous YouTube show.

K-Netizens were shocked that the agency would actually confirm this and allow it to be posted on social media.
- “It’s fortunate if these issues raise the price of their music, album, or events, but it’s usually not easy. Their profit doesn’t increase significantly compared to what’s being consumed. Even if it does, it’s most likely a one-time thing.”
- “I can only say that the company has lost their mind. Are they sure they want to do K-Pop? This is just killing the industry. What are they doing.”
- “Omg.”
- “They’ve lost it.”
- “But if they don’t even do that, no one will give them attention. This is so f*cking sad.”
- “Why are they like this.”
- “What kind of people are they.”
- “Don’t say anything about this, it’s a violation of freedom.”
- “This agency really has no taste. If they gain interest with this they aren’t going to gain fans.”
- “To this saying they are doing this because they want to do, don’t understand that there are so many ways to exploit women…sigh.”
- “Stop saying don’t look at us like that when they appealed to us with it first.”
- “Why do they involve idols with people who sell their bodies? This is just ridiculous.”
- “A Japanese AV idol said that the attention they receive in Korea is amazing and that there are a lot fans. How did all this come to Korea? It’s crazy…what is our country becoming.”
