A company is causing controversy after a notice was posted encouraging people to vote, saying that the president’s daughter would appear on an idol audition program.

On the 9th, a company’s internal notice containing this content was posted on several online communities.

This notice, which was posted on the 3rd, said, “A, the child of a certain agency owner, is appearing in an audition program called ‘I-Land 2’ hosted by Mnet. We ask executives and employees to participate in the audition vote for Ms. A’s debut. ” contains the content.

According to the person who posted this, this notice was issued to all executives and employees. The notice also included a request to vote once a day and detailed instructions on how to vote.

An employee of another company who saw this post claimed that a similar notice had been made at his company as well.

A netizen who said he was working at a small to medium-sized company revealed the contents of an email sent by the company’s general affairs department with the title ‘Emergency notice to employees.’ The email said, “CEO B’s eldest daughter, Ms. C, is appearing on the WAKEONE idol audition program ‘I-Land 2,’ which is airing on Mnet. We ask executives and employees to participate in the audition vote to ensure that Ms. C’s broadcast runs smoothly.” .

The netizen who revealed this said, “Messages promoting the CEO’s daughter keep coming. He said, “It’s so annoying that the program’s theme song is played loudly in the company bathroom as a promotion,” and “All the employees talk a lot because of that, and even on holidays, emails with the same content keep coming. “I’m not curious about anything about other people’s families, but it’s stressful to keep coming back,” he said.

There is a series of criticisms from netizens regarding this internal notice, asking, ‘Isn’t this an abuse of power within the company?’ Netizens responded by saying, “It says it’s a request, but it seems like it’s mandatory,” “Distinguish between public and private life,” and “Isn’t it a violation to debut through voting when you don’t have the skills?”

On the contrary, “There is no disadvantage to not doing it.” They expressed opinions such as “I don’t think it’s abuse of power at work” or “Maybe they can do it once or twice.”

‘I-Land 2’ is an audition program for Mnet’s new girl group production in which Teddy, known as the producer of Big Bang, 2NE1, and Blackpink, participates in producing and was first broadcast on the 18th of last month. Last year, in Season 1, the boy group Enhyphen was produced. Among the 24 participants, 12 members of the debut group will be decided through voting, and it is expected that the first elimination will occur in episode 4, which will be aired on the 10th.
