Suspicion was raised that Yang Ji-eun, who won the TV Chosun’Mistlot 2 tomorrow’, signed a pre-contract with MC Sung-joo Kim’s agency.
On the 5th, YouTuber Lee Jin-ho posted a video titled “Mistrot 2 眞 (Jin) Yang Ji-eun was the same agency as Kim Seong-ju?
Lee Jin-ho quoted the informant, “Yang Ji-eun signed a contract with her current agency after appearing in MBC’Oh My Partner’, which was broadcast in April last year. The agency insisted that when Yang Ji-eun was additionally passed, he attached an airplane ticket, a hotel, and a female manager to take care of it.”
He continued, “With the sympathy that the mother and mother, who have no affiliation, and a poor mother, received explosive support as they appealed to the fact that they joined the song for a sick father, especially Jin Dal-rae after getting off. And in the first and second rounds of the finals, he took first place with his vocal skills. There is no drama without a script so far. That’s why (the pre-contract) is a content that deceives the viewers, so I think it’s inevitable to be very sensitive.”
In addition, he said, “Another singer B belonging to this agency also challenged’Mistrot 2’without revealing the presence or absence of an agency, and was in the top 30.”
In response, the CEO of General Entertainment denied the allegations of a prior contract with Ji-eun Yang and said, “There is nothing except that a close writer of’Oh my partner’ who is familiar with Yang Ji-eun asked for help and helped. I asked for help two or three times and attached a female manager.” Then, for another participant B, he added, “I recently signed a contract (after’Mistrot 2′).”
Lee Jin-ho said, “A lot of people will be wondering what is the problem with the existence of an affiliated company. In fact, Yeong-woong Lim also has an agency, and he proudly ranked first. What’s the problem with signing a contract with the agency? All of the top seven companies, except for Yang Ji-eun, had management companies. However, the situation is different for this company. This is because he is a member who has a special relationship with’Mistrot’. It is General Entertainment, the management company of Seongju Kim, who is in charge of’Mistrot 2’MC. “If we knew that in advance, how would the public’s choice really change?” he raised the question.
“The CEO of General Entertainment is denying that the relationship with Yang Ji-eun is not true. However, it has a key recording file. They have confirmed the details of the contractual relationship. However, there is a concern that the identity of the informant may be identified, so we are considering whether to disclose it.”
