Recently, accusations of a female idol, born in 2001, dating a much older CEO garnered much attention online.
“SMORZ SMORZ
Ginni, who was born in 2001, joined the Echo dance group when she was in Grade 9 (2016/17). She started dating the CEO of Echo, who’s 10 years older than her, back then, and until now.
Echo focused on her, and she made her debut through the company. That makes a lot of sense. When she joined Echo back then, she forced almost all of the members to quit the group. She was infamous for having the princess sickness and was hated by others. Her best friend back then called her ‘princess.’
It seems reasonable that she’s taking up all the spotlight and debuting now. I’m tired of talking about the changes to her face, so take a look for yourself…”
A friend of a former Echo trainee also spoke up in the comments.
“I’m a friend of a former Echo trainee. Actually, the original members of the group aren’t just the ones you guys are seeing now. There were many changes. The reason why my friend left was because Ginni badmouthed her behind her back with other trainees. She wasn’t the only victim either.
When my friend told the company, she got scolded by a bunch of people, and her training activities were stopped. She had signed a relatively long-term contract, and they dragged things out without terminating it. It was as if she was put on a hiatus. My friend developed mental health issues because of this.”
“Actually, besides these ones, there were others who were trainees, including my friend. But they were forced to leave because Ginni kept badmouthing them. If you guys are lucky, you might see posts from former employees who accused the company of not paying wages. A lot of staff left, too.
The company only focused on Ginni. She’s actually not that close with her group members now. Her boyfriend only cares about her and has done all of this because of her. Since she doesn’t have actual talent, he had to find other people to complement her.”
They also shared a photo of the trainees from back then.
With this, netizens responded with mixed reactions to the accusations.
- “Just because you’ve said it, does it mean it’s true? You need to show some proof first. How is an old photo of hers considered proof? Think about it, isn’t it hilarious? How amazing must a young girl be to make everyone leave the group?”
- “No proof at all. You could claim she’s my mom.”
- “A former member liked this post…it seems like everyone had been suffering silently.”
- “When they came back to Hong Kong the other day, the CEO was pushing their luggage at the back. I didn’t see anyone talking about it, so I thought everyone held it in and didn’t want to expose everything.”
- “She depended on the CEO. No wonder an ugly girl like her is the center of the group. The girl from Taiwan is the prettiest.”
