A fresh controversy has erupted within 'World of Street Woman Fighter' winning crew OSAKA Ojo Gang, as six members accused leader Ibuki of mishandling and pocketing the group’s appearance fees and mission production costs.
According to the dancers, Mnet had already paid all performance fees in four separate installments. However, the members said they only received one payment in total, with the remainder allegedly withheld by Ibuki and the manager. Production costs for missions were also reportedly paid out early in the competition, but the crew claimed that the funds never reached them and it remains unclear where the money was spent.
The six members stated that the payments had been made through Ibuki’s manager, raising suspicion that the money was either misused or diverted. “Only a small portion was ever passed on to us,” the dancers revealed, adding that they were unaware until recently that such payments had even been made.
The conflict has further intensified following Ibuki’s absence from the 'World of Street Woman Fighter' Seoul concerts earlier this month. While Ibuki insisted she had been negotiating contracts through legal counsel, the six members alleged that she failed to uphold her promise to dismiss the manager responsible for the financial disputes.
Fans remain alarmed as the group’s internal rift plays out publicly, with growing scrutiny on Ibuki’s role and accountability for the missing funds.
