Amid controversy over the release of a photo of the terrorist attack with red paint on the girl band QWER, the agency said it was `checking.'
On the 24th, shocking photos of QWER members drew attention on online communities and SNS.
The photo was posted on the window of the outer wall of the 3Y Corporation's office in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and shocked other celebrities by splashing red paint and writing 'FAKE' on the photos of QWER members.
When the photo was released, the members' faces were covered with blood, saying that "Who did that?" was inundated with criticism.
However, there was a later objection that it was a strategy to promote the new album. The paint sprayed on the second floor of the relevant office building has been elaborated. The bricks and windows of the building above and below the office building were stained with paint without splashing a single drop and covering the faces of the QWER members. In addition, not a single drop of the pictures next to it caused a question.
Therefore, there are considerable opinions that it is a high-level marketing strategy by the agency. In response, the agency delayed the immediate answer, saying "Confirming".
