[All] Sugar Daddy Revelations: A Complete Summary! Center After Dating the CEO, Mixnine, Girl Group, Hyokyung, Aria
A revelation that has recently shaken the K-POP industry has broken out.
Controversy is rapidly spreading after Hyokyung, a former member of the girl group Ariaz, directly mentioned that “sugar daddies exist in the idol industry.”
The situation has escalated as stories have emerged that go beyond mere rumors and connect to center placement, casting, and the trainee structure.
In this post, I will summarize the flow from the revelations to the clarifications.
1. Shocking revelation: “Dating the CEO makes you the center”
The core issue is the claim that a member dating the agency CEO monopolized the center position and parts regardless of skill.
Although Hyokyung did not mention a specific company in the video, she revealed that there was a member within the same agency who was dating a CEO with a significant age difference.
And that member claimed that even though they were not skilled, they always took the most parts and stood in the center position.
He added that rumors about this relationship had spread throughout the industry and eventually reached him.
This single remark was interpreted not merely as a dating issue, but as a “systemic problem,” escalating the controversy.
2. Claiming structural problems extending from trainees to rookies
Hyo-kyung's revelations did not end with a single specific case.
He argued that not only idols but also trainees and rookie actors could be exposed to similar situations.
In particular, after the trainee was eliminated, a company official contacted me to meet separately, and
I mentioned the case of an acquaintance who eventually gave up on their dream after an inappropriate situation occurred during a drinking session.
He also explained that such proposals come in more easily due to the “revenue-free structure,” emphasizing the nuance that the industry structure itself is the problem.
Because of this, it has expanded from a simple individual issue into a problem for the entire K-POP industry.
3. Revealing even personal experience, the incident of giving up on movie casting
Hyo-kyung also shared her own experience. She received a lead role offer in a movie while challenging herself in acting after her idol activities.
They stated that although they received it, upon checking the script, they found that it included scenes with a high level of nudity starting from the very first scene.
During this process, he explained that he gave up on the project after deciding, “I didn’t learn acting to do that kind of thing.”
This remark resonated with many as it was interpreted not merely as a casting issue, but as an example illustrating a structure where newcomers lack choice.
4. Clarification after controversy spreads, “Unrelated to former agency”
As the exposé video spread rapidly and speculation arose regarding a specific agency, Hyokyung stepped forward to clarify the situation herself.
Hyo-kyung drew a line, stating, “The content mentioned in the video is only a part of the whole and has nothing to do with my former agency.”
He also revealed that he spoke directly with the former agency CEO to explain the situation and even apologized.
As a result, the controversy has shifted toward being an “industry-wide issue,” and the speculation focused on specific companies has been settled to some extent.
However, one thing is clear: this incident has significantly raised interest in the hidden side of the K-POP industry.
