MBK Entertainment's Kim Kwang Soo summoned for pressuring other labels to go forward with X1 promotions despite investigations

AKP STAFF

MBK Entertainment/Pocketdol Studio's CEO Kim Kwang Soo has been summoned for investigations.

He is accused of rigging votes by giving fake accounts to MBK Entertainment employees so they could rig the outcome of the 'Produce 101' season 1 vote in 2016. Furthermore, he is also accused of pressuring other labels in debuting and making X1 promote despite ongoing police investigations.

Stay tuned for more on the 'Produce 101'-related investigations.

After their disastrous management of T-ara, failed management of DIA, and lackluster beginning of 1the9, I can understand why MBK would want to push forward with X1. They desperately needed a way to stay relevant. What I don't understand is how this complete failure of an agency has any influence over other agencies and broadcast stations.

It was alittle weird how X1 had to debut despite the investigation still on-going which just caused them to get tons of hate.
