The conversation is as follows:

Singer Joyna:�Did she go buy the drinks or is she making them? �

CEO: Treat (referring to a fan as a source of treat and presents) hurry up~�Hey, are you dating the treat..? (asking Suho)

Manager: What.. How can a person date an ATM?

CEO: Right?�

Singer Joyna: He played hard to get but it seems like he as low standards. But I mean, she must've been easy to get since she's a fangirl. She's dumb and she gives all without holding back. She'll also sleep with you if you ask.

Many netizens and fans are disturbed by how the drama referred to fans as a 'treat' and 'ATM'. Furthermore, the way it portrayed fangirls as an easy partner for sexual activities is causing anger. �

This is not the first time 'Star in the Universe' is under fire for mistreatment of fans. Back in November, the producer of the drama�apologized for making fans work�without getting any payment, believing their chance to see Suho is a reward itself.
