The conversation is as follows:
Singer Joyna:�Did she go buy the drinks or is she making them? �
CEO: Treat (referring to a fan as a source of treat and presents) hurry up~�Hey, are you dating the treat..? (asking Suho)
Manager: What.. How can a person date an ATM?
CEO: Right?�
Singer Joyna: He played hard to get but it seems like he as low standards. But I mean, she must've been easy to get since she's a fangirl. She's dumb and she gives all without holding back. She'll also sleep with you if you ask.
Many netizens and fans are disturbed by how the drama referred to fans as a 'treat' and 'ATM'. Furthermore, the way it portrayed fangirls as an easy partner for sexual activities is causing anger. �
This is not the first time 'Star in the Universe' is under fire for mistreatment of fans. Back in November, the producer of the drama�apologized for making fans work�without getting any payment, believing their chance to see Suho is a reward itself.
