Identity of composer 'FAMOUSBRO' for IOI's title track sparks controversy

IOI
IOI's recent "Dream Girls" release is already sparking controversy.


Although it was previously stated by the girls on 'Standby IOI' as well as YMC Entertainment that the title song was a blind pick by the members, fans aren't so sure anymore... especially because a co-composer on the title song - alias FAMOUSBRO - has turned out to be Eru.

Why is this an issue? YMC Entertainment is home to trot singer and entertainment industry big shot Tae Jin Ah as well as the company he founded with his oldest son Cho Yoo Myung. Eru is Tae Jin Ah's second son and also an artist under YMC Entertainment, so many are pointing out suspicions that favoritism seems to be at play. Fans are saying the 'blind test' might not be a 'blind test' after all as "Dream Girls" is the only song on the mini album that's title-song-worthy (other songs are too slow, or too soft, etc). 


On top of that, in "Dream Girls", Mina has the line "Even if I'm not pretty, even if I'm not thin," which has gotten a lot of fans upset as Mina has had problems with hate comments due to her weight. Other fans are upset that main vocalists Sejeong and Yeunjung seem to have almost no lines, and that Somi doesn't stand in the center during the chorus (or it looks like in the MV, almost not at all) even though she ranked #1 in 'Produce 101'.
