It was previously reported that Ahn Sung Il, the CEO of The Givers, had falsified his academic background and career. In response, The Givers released an official press statement apologizing for the discrepancies and stating that they would take corrective action. 

Ahn Sung Il has also been in the middle of a controversy involving FIFTY FIFTY and the group's agency ATTRAKT. CEO Ahn has been accused of trying to poach members from the girl group FIFTY FIFTY's agency.

In response, netizens on a Korean online community shared their thoughts on the whole debacle. 

"I wonder if the FIFTY FIFTY members are aware that something is wrong by now?"

"A person who fakes obvious things without the need for value judgments such as name, age, and education
is a fraudster without needing to look further."

"Are things irreversible at this point? Why do the members still believe only in that person?"

"Even in this situation, he can't come to his senses..... haha"

"Shouldn't we investigate whether he forged official documents with his false academic background?"

"FIFTY FIFTY members and their families should just belatedly say that you and your loved ones are also victims."

"Is there any truth in this person?"

"This person seems to be living in a different world. Is it the end once the falsified academic background is corrected? The more that's revealed, the more I don't think it's normal."

"Hahahaha it's a real comedy."

"Seeing that the members are still quiet, it seems like they have a weakness hahaha I don't feel sorry for them."

"Why do the FIFTY FIFTY kids really believe in such a person... are they going to follow this to the end?"
