Bada's side drew a line regarding the controversy over promoting a specific funeral service company.

A representative of Bada's agency, Wave Nine, told StarNews on the 8th, "Engagements are handled by external agencies. We have no relationship with the funeral service company in question and are not involved in the lineup or composition at all."

The representative further explained, "We understand that the organizers notified from the audience recruitment stage that the event would include a presentation by the funeral service company. We also understand that the audience attended with full awareness of this content."

The agency side maintains that it is unfair for Bada to appear as if she deceived the audience and attended the event under false pretenses.

On that day, JoongAng Ilbo reported that on the 30th of last month, an event promoted as a "free performance" via SNS was held at a small theater in Seoul Seocho-gu, but approximately two hours of funeral product promotion took place before the actual performance began.

The media also pointed out the tactic of recruiting audiences by highlighting a performance by a famous singer on SBS, only to dedicate a long time to product promotion during the actual performance.

However, according to the organizer's official website and SNS, a notice on posts related to performance applications states, "This event is a free performance that includes promotional time for sponsors (funeral service companies) and is open to adults only. The performance time may vary depending on on-site conditions." In addition to Bada, performances by singers In Sooni, Lee Eun-mi, Kim Wan-sun, Heo Gak, TAEY, and Jung Jun-il have already taken place or are scheduled to take place.
