Lately, when I go into online communities, all anyone talks about is Heijini 😭

KidsWorks, the company operated by Heijini (real name Kang Hye-jin), a kids' creator with 4.13 million subscribers known as the "Children's President," faces allegations of labor exploitation. I was engulfed in it.

The situation is turning into a mudslinging battle as former employee A’s revelations, the company’s explanations, and A’s counter-rebuttals continue.

There is only one thing people are curious about here.

I wonder if other employees have had similar experiences? 🤔

In April 2020, all employees in the Media/PR role gave a perfect score of 5 out of 5.

Suggestion: I hope you take a broader perspective rather than just recycling content.
