Female Idol's Affair with Married Representative Leads to Full Group's Contract Termination

South Korean media outlet "10Asia" exclusively reported earlier that the married representative of the entertainment company "JDB Entertainment" had an extramarital affair with a female idol under the company. Late-night street photos of their date were exposed, leading to speculation that the woman is a member of the girl group "IHOTEU." While senior officials of the company confirmed that the two indeed had an "inappropriate relationship," they did not explicitly reveal the identity of the woman. The individuals involved in the affair have only stated "no comment" regarding the matter. However, after the scandal was exposed, the company announced the termination of all members’ contracts of IHOTEU.

IHOTEU is a three-member girl group launched by "EFG Music," a subsidiary of "JDB Entertainment." The group primarily performed at small live events and was categorized as an "underground idol" group. The members are MINA, NEGI, and AMU. MINA initially announced her departure from the group through a statement, and shortly after, "EFG Music" declared the termination of contracts for all IHOTEU members. Having debuted only seven months ago, IHOTEU is essentially disbanded.

According to a report by South Korean media outlet "SPOTV NEWS," the male figure involved in the extramarital affair, who has appeared multiple times on the popular variety show "The Manager," has reportedly expressed his intention to resign on his own initiative.
