Hyokyeong, who was active as a member of the girl group ARIAZ, calmly revealed the dark side of K-pop girl groups.

In a video released on her YouTube channel last April, Hyokyeong mentioned various behind-the-scenes details regarding K-pop girl groups.

Hyokyeong first stated, "The center position of a certain group was not based on skill or popularity," and added, "A member who was in a romantic relationship with the head of the entertainment agency took that position."

She continued, "Such incidents are common in small agencies. Fans probably couldn't understand why that member was the center."

Hyokyeong did not reveal the identity of the idol or the entertainment agency involved.

Furthermore, Hyokyeong said, "I received my first settlement statement after 2.5 years of activity, and it was only debt. The agency calculated all our pre-debut training costs, clothing expenses, accommodation fees, and even meal costs as our debt." She also stated, "I received an offer to appear in a movie, but the agency rejected it without providing a proper explanation."

Hyokyeong remarked, "There were too many things I couldn't choose. Idols are treated not as professionals but as property." She added, "I agonized for a long time over whether I should say this. But I didn't want another victim like me to emerge."

Hyokyeong debuted in October 2019 as a member of the six-member girl group ARIAZ, under Rising Entertainment, a subsidiary of Star Empire. However, following controversies such as school violence involving members, the group eventually ceased activities and disbanded in April 2022.

Hyokyeong appeared on the JTBC audition program "Mixnine."
