ŌĆö Ó╣ĆÓĖöÓ╣ćÓĖüÓĖöÓĖĄÓĖéÓĖŁÓĖćÓĖ×ÓĖĄÓ╣łÓ╣éÓĖÖÓ╣ĆÓĖł ¤¢ż (@tinetotired) July 10, 2022 This was NO:ZEŌĆÖs first appearance since the advertisement controversy. Previously, the dancer came heavily under fire for discrimination against small company advertisements. According to the report, she received a payment of 30 million to 50 million KRW (about $23,000 to $39,000) from the companies for a single post about their products but didnŌĆÖt do her part of the contract until a couple months after the promised deadline. NO:ZE was even accused of deleting the advertisement posts for ŌĆ£small companiesŌĆØ shortly after uploading, while the posts for expensive, luxury brands went undeleted. NO:ZEŌĆÖs agency quickly denied the report at first but retracted its original statement and officially apologized the day after. ŌĆ£We have learned that our side failed to meet the advertisement timeline for endorsement offers by certain companies. NO:ZE and the agency are both deeply reflecting on the issue after realizing the gravity of the mistake. WeŌĆÖll make sure that this does not happen again,ŌĆØ the company wrote. Some people expected the dancer to at least make an indirect apology during the concert, but instead, she shed tears and mentioned ŌĆ£working hard,ŌĆØ infuriating the people, especially those working in the ŌĆ£small companiesŌĆØ or the PR department.
