It has been confirmed that Kim Tae-eun, the responsible producer (CP) who was sentenced to one year in prison for manipulating the voting rankings of Mnet's 'Idol School', is still employed at Mnet.
According to our investigation, Mnet rehired Kim Tae-eun after she was released from prison back in February 2022. This truth has once again disappointed viewers who expected Mnet to dismiss her from the company.
CP Kim Tae-eun was indicted without detention in July 2020 on charges of manipulating the voting rankings of all episodes of 'Idol School'. At the time, she denied all allegations, but as the investigation expanded and evidence was revealed, she eventually admitted to the charges. She was then put into custody in June of the following year and served 8 months in prison before being released. When asked about the reason for manipulating the voting rankings, Kim Tae-eun answered that it was due to Mnet's pressure to boost the program's viewer ratings.
-Why are you blurring out her face...
-I knew this would happen...
-Not surprised...
-Do you really think she's the only one involved in the manipulations?
-'Idol School' was so much worse than 'Produce 101'...
-This company is full of manipulations...
-Look at Mnet hiring back people who manipulated votes in their shows... That's very amazing of them...
-Mnet and her are together in this, of course they wouldn't fire her. They're only saying it, but they wouldn't be actually firing her.
-Looks like they don't even try to hide it from the public anymore now...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I expected to see this coming, but this still rages me outㅋㅋㅋ I really want to set Mnet on fireㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-'Just serve in prison for a year. Don't worry, I'll take care of your family'ㅎㅎㅎ
-This proves that Mnet is also behind all of the manipulationsㅋㅋ
-I'm so sick of this...
