Many popular idols have often opened up about their tough times, leaving fans appalled on social media. Fantasy Boy’s Kang Minseo revealed the status of his dorms, which angered social media users and sparked a massive backlash against PocketDoll Studio, a South Korean entertainment company founded in 2017 by record producer Kim Kwang-soo. Recently, Kang Minseo revealed on Bumble that electricity in his group’s dorm was cut off, which went viral on social media. He revealed that the situation supposedly arrived due to their unpaid electricity bills. “The electricity was cut off in our dorms, so I’m finally able to charge my phone and contact you…sorry,” he said. Kang Minseo Reveals Their Struggles With The Dorms Although it’s hard to believe that the electricity bill is unpaid in an idol’s dorm, the Fantasy Boy music band member’s revelations left everyone shocked. “It’s not a power outage. I think they forgot to pay the electricity bill. I’m getting a bit stressed,” Kang Minseo wrote. Soon after a post highlighted the pop idol’s conversation on X, social media users turned furious at the agency for how it was treating them. FANTASY BOYS member Kang Minseo revealed on Bubble that the electricity in the group's dorm got cut off, supposedly due to unpaid electricity bills. Internet’s Reaction To Power Cut At Kang Minseo’s Dorm Reacting to the X post, a user said, “This is the reason why Junwon refused to sign the contract. He knows it’s an unfair contract. And I’m glad his mother fought for him. I’m glad that he didn’t get scared over the non-debut threat from the company.” Another added, “That feels like a huge red flag. I hope anyone who signed up at that company is okay, and if everything falls apart, manage to leave.” Someone said, “Pocketdoll really is a trash company, how ruthless.” Echoing the same emotion, a person tweeted, “Pocketdol is literally a company sent from hell. They have no business being in the industry. They do not care about anyone or anything.” “Damn, I don’t even Stan, but I thought this group disbanded, but it’s sad they’re going through this,” read a comment.
