Baek Jong Won Abuse Allegations Shake the Industry

The Baek Jong Won abuse allegations include claims of harsh words, bad behavior, and even using his power to control who works on certain TV shows.

Kim pointed out that this could have hurt Kim Ho Joong’s career, especially if he had not been a popular singer.
