The "secret royal inspector system" for singer IU's concerts, which had been well received, was eventually abolished amid controversy.
Although this is a solution to the problem, it does not seem to be enough to calm the anger of fans. On the 9th, IU's management office EDAM Entertainment posted a proposal for reforms related to the illegal transactions on the official fan cafe.
Prior to this, a story spread online that a fan at an IU concert in January was accused of being a fraudster and permanently expelled from the fan club.

The criticism was directed not only at the venue but also at IU, the host of the performance, and she also apologized to the artists.
Despite the management office's efforts to settle the situation, the fans' anger shows no sign of subsiding. The fans have launched a protest with a truck march in front of the management office's headquarters. They
"They easily express regret over rumours about their artists. When the management office is criticised, they immediately respond by saying they are upset," he pointed out. The newly released statement from the management office still has controversy.
As the Koron Otsubaki scandal continues, attention is focused on how this situation will be resolved.
