Police extend investigations into 'Idol School'

AKP STAFF

As the investigation into the 'Produce' series continues, it's now been revealed that investigations will now include 'Idol School'.

The Seoul Police District Chief Lee Yong Pyo said, "We are continuing our investigations and analyzing the information we seized previously. We are also investigating to see if executives were involved in 'Idol School'."

Previously, the police have forwarded the case to prosecutors after concluding that there were ranking manipulations and as well as illegal receptions.

I am glad this is happening given what the other trainees on the show have said about Idol School already. It is abundantly clear that the trainees were not playing on a level playing field and some had huge advantages given to them. This needs to be examined more closely and if bribes were involved then the offending parties need to be prosecuted here too.
