The cosmetics brand recently employed all four members as the face of their brand. However, back on December 11, a media outlet called Women News reported on Baekho's controversy and questioned whether it was appropriate for someone currently under investigations for sexual assault to be the model of a brand largely aimed toward women.
When contacted by Women News, 'Labiotte' reportedly said, "We had JR and Ren as our models. Recently when we renewed the contract, we signed with all the members. The contract is with JR and Ren as the mains, so we did not think there would be too much of an issue. The label also told us there is nothing to worry about the controversy, so we signed the contract. There will be photos with all four members since we have signed with the entire group. However, we will never use Baekho as our main."
화가 나서 본사에 전화하고 왔는데 본사는 자기들이 인터뷰 한 적 없다고 하는데 그럼 누가 인터뷰 한 거임? 암튼 그렇다길래 인터뷰 한 사람 족치던가 그딴 기사 쓴 기자 고소하고 정정보도 하라고 했음. 이제 문자로 지랄하러 간다.

Translation: "I was angry so I called their headquarters, and they said they never had an interview. But then who did? But that's what they told me, so I told them to either fire the person who interviewed, or to sue the article that said they made that statement, and to correct it. Now I'm going to go text them."
What do you think about the article and the statement?
