 They said it seems like they'll promote with 5 members.

They were 4-member group for a while, but now it looks like they're preparing to promote with 5 members.

*They're originally a 7-member group, but 2 of them have been on hiatus for over 2 years due to health issues, so it seems even the fans don't expect them to return. 

theqoo

-VERIVERY has a lot of good songs.

-Who are the members on hiatus?

-We'll be waiting, Jellyfish. You know that, right? Do a good job.

-I'll be rooting for VERIVERY.

-I heard they only had 3 months before their contract expiers. Looks like they've been preparing for this. That's a relief.

-Hul... VERIVERY has so many f*cking good songs. I'm looking forward to the new one.

-ใ… ใ…  I'll stream when the song comes out.

-Is that person in the blue shirt also a member?

-That's a relief...

-I'll buy the album when it comes out.

-Hul... It's been over 2 years since those members went on hiatus...

-I used to listen to VERIVERY's songs a lot. Fighting!!!!!!!

-This lineup is better.

-I still can’t believe Kangmin didn’t make it ใ… ใ… ใ… ใ… ใ… 

-Both Park Donggyu and Yoo Kangmin have the look of an actor.

-Can't they just debut together?? Their visuals look solid as a group.

-I hope you all do well, guys. I'm rooting for all of youใ… 

-This isn't the debut lineup?

-Maybe it's because there are more Koreans, but I think this lineup is way better.

-Kangmin not debutin still feels like a lie to me.

-I wonder if Donggyu ever thought about becoming an actor? He has the look of an actor.

-Park Donggyu is so f*cking handsome and he got eliminated......?

-I don't follow the show and just saw the results, and honestly I think these guys look better.

-With those visuals, how did they not debut?

-I'll be rooting for Donggyu and Woojinใ… 

-I like this lineup better.

-Just debut them alreadyใ…กใ…ก

They're debuting up to 8th place and he ranked 9th.

-Why don’t people care about visuals…? Honestly, I find it so strange.

-What on earth is more important than looks for an idol?

-I can't believe Chinese guys debuted instead of him.

-I was hoping Yoo Kangmin would debutใ… ใ…  I hope he does better somewhere elseใ… ใ… 

-How did someone with visuals like that get eliminated?;;

-This is so freaking sad...ใ… ใ…  He's so f*cking handsome.

-He's really beautiful.

-?????? Kangmin got eliminated?

-Isn't being handsome the most important thing?

-I should've voted for Kangmin more... So regretfulใ… ใ… ใ… 

-I hope he can debut in an even better group...

-Kangmin, please become an actor.

-This makes no sense.

-No way.

-Jellyfish, wake up and do something about VERIVERY.

-I wish VERIVERY would have a comeback.

-Try acting too...

-Kangmin-ah, please keep being an idolใ… ใ… ใ… ใ… 

-Isn't this Kangmin?? I don't watch Boys Planet so I don't know... I guess he joined the show...

-This makes no sense at all. This face??? Do people not look at visuals again now??

-He has both the visual and the talent. Such a shameใ… ใ…  I hope he does well with his solo activities.

-Did his votes get rigged?? They eliminated this visual and debuted 3 f*cking Chinese guys instead??

-How did this face get eliminated?ใ… ใ… ใ… 

-His visual is one thing, but his talent and personality are really good as well. What a shame... He started getting the attention way too late.

-What were the voting ratios like for him to be eliminated?

-That's a lie. How can they debut without visuals?

-I seriously thought he was going to debut.

-Another company will probably sign him. It might actually be better for him.

-Wow, none of them are my type… The 1st place guy must be really talented. He looks like a male lead from a Japanese drama with a weird hairstyle and terrible acting.

-Only the ones with lots of international votes survived. Except for Sanghyun, all the trainees with mostly Korean votes got eliminated. It seems like the production team messed up with the system. This debut lineup is a total disaster.

-Whoa... But the pictures really didn't do justice.

-This lineup is a mess. It looks like a completely f*cked up group project.

-There are 3 Chinese members...?

-I just watched Boys Planet for the first time today and I think they all looked better than in these picures??

-These pictures came out so badly. They all look way better in person than in these profile picturesใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹

-Why isn't Kangmin here........

-2007? He's so young.

-Half of them are foreigners.

-I'm so f*cking relieved that the 1st place is Korean.

-They're older than I thought.

-Overall, they're not that young. The youngest will become a lega adult next year.

-I'm so glad Junseo debuted. He's probably going to be the leader.

-Whoa... Their average age is higher than I thought. If they were born in 2001, does that mean they're 25 now?

The chairman's taste is clear.

Black: He likes black skirts. If the woman has pretty legs, black stockings are highly recommended.

Killer heels: He likes tall women. To be more exact, tall and slim women.

Hair: Hair must not be tied up. It should flow freely when they dance.

CJ group is the home of audition shows. So far, it has produced 34 audition shows in total, including Superstar K, Produce 101, Idol School, Girls Planet, and Boys Planet. From these auditions, came IOI, WannaOne, IZONE, Kep1er, and ZB1 (Produce X 101 was tainted by manipulation scandals).

 The chairman himself also enjoys personal 'auditions.' He held secret parties, inviting hostesses from adult entertainment venues, AfreecaTV BJs, influencers, and unknown celebrities. Why does Lee Jaehyun seek tall, thin women? Dispatch investigated the Chairman's secret audition. His 'hobby' was being on the verge of being illegal.

"Would you like to join the party?"

Like a scene from Squid Game, a mysterious message arrived via DM: "Would you like to come to a DJ party?" Ms. A instantly understood the subject. She realized it was a DJ party hosted b Lee Jaehyun, the chairman of CJ Group. A recalled to Dispatch, "I've attended the chairman's party before. It was as secretive as a 007 operation." 

Dispatch obtained an invitation sent by the manager (The women who attended the party called the recruiter 'manager): "Hello. I'm contacting you to confirm the meeting for tomorrow. Please let me know if there are any changes. I'll see you at XXX in Cheongdam-dong"

"We'll evaluate your appearance"

To attend the DJ party, Ms. B had to go through four steps. First was a face-to-face meeting. She met the manager at a cafe in Cheongdam-dong and was evaluated on her looks. Ms. B told Dispatch, "It was a screening for the party attendees. They interviewed aout 4-6 people at once. They checked our faces, height, and bodies." 

Since Ms. B had attended Lee Jaehyun's party in the past, she was already on the list. The meeting was just a formality to check her looks. Ms. B stated, "The meeting lasted about 2-3 minutes. They were just checking my appearance. The rest happened on KakaoTalk. We decided on a nickname and negotiated the pay. The date, location, and other details were also sent via text message."


“Time, Place, Occasion”

This is the invitation that Ms. A received on KakaoTalk. First of all, time.

Manager: We need to confirm the number of people for the party by the weekend. You can't come?

Ms. A: No,I can come.

Next, the location was shared.

Manager: Please come to the XXth floor of the OO building, XXX Dosan-daero, on (date).

Finally, the dress code was given.

Ms. A: Are there any style preferences?

Manager: Mostly, people wear a lot of black. If you have pretty legs, wear black stockings. Go for slim and glamorous. Heels must be high, at least 9cm. Don't tie your hair up, leave it down.

"COVID-19 test required, eliminated if tested positive"

Dispatch went to the address provided on KakaoTalk. It was the first gathering point for the party attendees. It used to be a dermatology clinic, but is now empty. What is the connection between the clinic and the party? We were able to get the answer from Ms. C, who explained, "They sent me the location. When I went there, it was a clinic. They told me to take a COVID test first. After the test was over, they would send us another address via KakaoTalk." 

Dispatch managed to get in touch with a representative from the clinic, who explained, "Tall, slim women came often. I thought they were models. They just got a COVID-19 test and left." The representative added, "It's hard to forget them. Many of them came wearing killer heels at the same time. After the test, they moved to another location. I heard them talk about calling for cars."

“Location → Move → Switch, a 007 Spy Party”

According to Ms. C, there were three location changes before arriving at the party: Clinic → S Gallery → Party venue. The process of moving was carried out with strict security. Dispatch cross-checked Ms. A's messages with Ms. C's testimony. For reference, Ms. A and Ms. C do not know each other at all. However, their movements matched exactly. 

First, the texts Ms. A received: 1) XXX Dosan-daero. It was the clinic. 2) Next was XX Cheongdam-dong. It was in front of the S Gallery. 3) The next coordinates were 6 photos instead of an address.

Manager: You can just walk by following the order of the photos.

The place Ms. A walked to by following the photos was a fashion brand store 160 meters away from the S Gallery. Chairman Lee Jaehyun's party was held on the 6th floor of that building. The location matched the final destination Ms. C arrived at. 

Ms. C said, "The first address I received was the clinic. I got a COVID-19 test there and then received the next address, it was the S Gallery. I received another address again after that."


"I'm going to be the Empress of CJ!"

Ms. D also had also attended Lee Jaehyun's party before, but she failed to catch the chairman's eye. Later, she received another invitation with the condition to bring one pretty friend. Ms. D was fully determined. She aimed to be a 'regular' member. Lee Jaehyun's party members are divided into 'regulars' and 'new faces.' Ms. D desperately hoped to be chosen as a 'regular' member in this audition.

Dispatch obtained KakaoTalk messages Ms. D sent to an acquaintance. Her efforts were evident.

Ms. D: I must become a regular member tomorrow. I'm going to go from concubine all the way to empress. I need to practice my dancing today. The party will be mine. These killer heels are seriously high. I think they make me 170cm tall!

However, Ms. D failed again. She was eliminated from the audition again. She later complained, "He only kept the dancer Unnies near him." She continued, "A younger friend of mine got the girlfriend role, so she didn't even have to dance. If you become a regular member, you can even go to the Friday parties. There's a gathering just for the regular members. 10 Million KRW for 3 days, my friend said."

"The Chairman is coming! Everyone, stand up!"

Dispatch intensively investigated Chairman Lee Jaehyun's DJ parties for the past two months. We met with over 8 people, including women who attended the parties, their acquaintances, and more. The types of parties they described varied. There were also reports that the level of the parties differed depending on the theme (We are only disclosing the parts that were consistent).

The common features of the parties include #The Chairman is coming, #Everyone stand up, #Small talk, #Phone collection, #Explicit dances, #The Chairman's DJing, #Cash envelopes. Ms. A, B, C, and D entered the party by going through five-steps process that include a face-to-face meeting, a COVID-19 test, location changes, and finally meeting the chairman. 

Ms. A recalled, "A regular member shouted, "The chairman is coming," while running. One person helped her and another one shouted, "Everyone, stand up!""

"Please hand over your phones."

The party began with small talk. All members handed over their phones. The chairman also chatted with the regular members he saw often. Then came the second session on a different floor. There was a DJ booth and a karaoke machine. Each women took turns dancing competitively.

Ms. A described it as an "Explicit, 19+ dance." Ms. B said it was "Like AfreecaTV streamers pushing for 'star balloons." Ms. D described it as a "Cheap, vulgar dancing." The highlight was provided by Chairman Lee Jaehyun who DJed for an hour.

Ms. A explained the atmosphere of the scene saying, "The regular members urged the new faces to react by saying things like, "You're so good," "This is so much fun," or "You're so cool."

And so, the party ended. The finale was a chef's dinner. Chairman Lee Jaehyun and the party members moved to a different location to enjoy dinner prepared by a famous chef. Of course, it was not the end. Ms. B said, "He kept one member who danced the best that day. The rest of us were given cash and left."

"1.5 million KRW, paid in cash."

The number of party members was around 7 to 8 people, 4 to 5 of them were regular members and the rest were new faces. A regular member could be cut at any time and a new face member could be promoted at any time, depending on Chairman Lee Jaehyun.

So, how much did they receive? Chairman Lee Jaehyun allocated 2 Million KRW per member. The party manager took 500,000 KRW, and the members received 1.5 M KRW each.

Dispatch obtained evidence of the payment: 1.5 M KRW in 50,000 bills inside a white envelope. It was an untraceable transaction with no bills. The party consisted of about 8 women, so the cash alone amounted to 16 M KRW. They set up luxury wine, famous chefs, venue rental, security, staff. An insider revealed, "A single party costs at least 20 M KRW. Sometimes they had them 2-3 times a week. An enormous amount of money is spent on personal entertainment."

"Selling to women, buying women"

The core customer base of the CJ group is women. Many of the viewers of their audition programs are women. 76% of Olive Young's customers as of 2024 is also women. While Chairman Lee Jaehyun sells products to women he himself bought women. 'Slender,' 'Black stockings,' 'Killer heels'... To fulfill his desires, he reduced women to mere tools.

His hyprocrisy clashes with CJ's corporate ethics. In public, he promote healthy women, while behind closed doors, he objectified and commodifies them.

-> Sexual objectification: Treating women as objects or tools to satisfy sexual desires, not as individuals.

-> Sexual commodification: The act of buying and selling sexual attractiveness like a product.

Can this be simply dismissed as a quirky hobby of a Chaebol chairman? Chairman Lee Jaehyun's secret parties are not a personal misconduct, but a matter of corporate responsibility. Only ONe is CJ's top value. If corporate operations collides with personal desire, one must be given up. He is the leader of a group that generates 43 T KRW in revenue.
