Aiching, a member of the rookie girl group A2O LITE under A2O Entertainment, founded by SM Entertainment founder Lee Soo-man, and who has drawn attention as "China's BoA," is facing suspicions of wage arrears involving her parents.

According to reports from major Chinese media outlets such as Daxiaobao, former employees of a Beijing-based education company, where Aiching's mother serves as legal representative and her father as auditor, claimed that they have not received wages from them since 2024.

Subsequently, according to leaked court documents, "Beijing Sophie Education Technology Co., Ltd.," registered under the name of Aiching's mother, has been involved in wage arrears disputes with employees for two years. However, as payments were not fulfilled thereafter, the company was subjected to compulsory enforcement by the court. It is known that the total amount subject to compulsory enforcement against Aiching's parents reaches approximately 3.45 million yuan (approximately 660 million won).

In this regard, A2O Entertainment has not issued any particular statement.

Meanwhile, leader Lee Soo-man held a global debut show titled "Welcome to Soul Light from A2O Soul A2O Lite" at the second exhibition hall of KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on the 12th, declaring his return eight months after the expiration of the non-compete agreement signed with HYBE in February 2023.
