A past interview with AOA Chanmi's mother Lim Cheon Suk is catching attention.
In 2019, Chanmi's mother conducted an interview with the Hankook Ilbo and expressed regret over the fact that Chanmi received her first payment five years after debut.
She also confessed, "Around Chanmi's third year of debut, I received a call from FNC one day saying Chanmi suffered from depression. I went to see her and Chanmi told me that no matter how hard she tried she never received praise and there was no where for her to go. At the time, I asked Chanmi to leave the company without thinking of the hefty penalty fee. Chanmi, however, said she'd come too far to quit and went back to the company."
Worried that something might happen, her mother took a train to Seoul everyday for two months to see Chanmi and ended up opening a beauty salon downstairs to be close to her.
Netizens that heard the news stated, "What's wrong with FNC? Is it normal that they paid her five years in? They don't care for their artists..., what a weird agency. How hurt she must've been ᅲᅲ."
Meanwhile, AOA leader Jimin left the group over bullying rumors of former member Mina.
- [+4,790, -112] Hul~ this company is a total thug agency? Five years? So while Jimin bullied Mina and Chanmi, her best friend Seolhyun and the rest of the members kept silent and flattered Jimin and the agency and only her friends survived the mud fight. Disgusting!
- [+3,526, -55] Aigoo Chanmi-ya, you did well ㅜㅜ. You deserve all the success in the world ㅜㅜ
- [+3,042, -32] She must've gotten scared because they were mean to her
- [+406, -1] AOA is a girlgroup that had a lot of success early on and yet she only got paid five years in? Please run a tax audit on this agency.
- [+ 359, -1] There's a reason why Lee Hong-ki always curses this agency
- [+332, -2] Why even go back there? I'm sure only you know why. I hope you can leave there soon.
- [+323, -3] If the artist is depressed and wants to quit, isn't it the agency's responsibility to let her rest to treat her depression? But if she wanted to leave the penalty is billions of won? ㅋㅋㅋWow~ FNC is such a trash agencyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. I went to search FNC because I wanted to see the face of the CEOㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.
- [+304, -1] AOA attained success early on so I don't understand why it took so long to recover the investment? Even JYP pays his artists as soon as they start promoting without having recouped the original investment.
- [+261, -0] I'd really like to know who is behind Jimin. What is it about her they trusted so much?
- [+173, -1] Jimin-ah, what's the reason behind Choa's sudden leave? Was it you that helped spread the rumor?
