On June 18, the entertainment community was shocked at the news that a label representative had assaulted a current idol group member because the group did not keep their dorms clean.
According to reports, the Seoul Gangnam Police Station received a report at around 4:30 AM on June 11, stating, "The agency representative is assaulting the members," and responded to the call. The police investigated the CEO on charges of assaulting the members using a blunt weapon about 90 centimeters long.
After the news was publicized, many netizens directed their attention to the idol group and the agency involved in this assault case. Korean netizens gathered in a popular online community to attempt to guess which group was assaulted.
Korean netizens commented:
"I think it's groups like Ampers&One or DRIPPIN."
"These idols were assaulted why are people asking 'how dirty was the dorm' and 'which idol is it'?"
"I think it's DRIPPIN's H Y S."
"It's probably a nugu group we never heard of."
"It's wrong that the agency CEO assaulted the member because they used the dorm really dirty but I'm really curious how dirty it must've been."
"It's definitely an unknown group we don't know."
"This is so shocking."
"I don't think it's DRIPPIN because there are articles that say the group includes a minor but DRIPPIN doesn't have members who are minors."
"It's not DRIPPIN. Wonder where this rumor started."
"Isn't it D W M? (just putting in a guess)."
"I'm so curious who this is."
"I think a lot of people are spreading rumors that it's DRIPPIN but it's already posted that the perpetrator is J W H."
We could narrow it down a lot further if we knew if it was a girl group or boy group
