The invitations were sent through cryptic messages that remember Play of squidAnd the women crossed multiple phases before participating in the vocal meetings of face-to-face interviews, evaluating their appearance, mandatory Covid-19 test in a clinic and coded the instructions in final places such as roofs and private galleries.
The clothing codes were severe: black skirts, black socks, high stiletto heels and loose hair. The participants said that Lee’s preference was based on high and thin women. Women was also asked to deliver their phones before joining the events.

According to reports, the costs for a single part exceeded ₩ ₩ ₩ ₩ ₩ ₩ $ 20 million ($ 14,500 USD), Factoring in luxury wine, meals prepared by chefs, rental of clubs and staff.
The former participants described events as a mix of high security and objectification operations. Some compared it with “be treated as goods“, Since women have been classified in” fixed members “or” new faces “, with their status depending on the discretion of the president.
The revelations exhibit a clear contradiction: CJ Group, which strongly prophesies from consumer women through platforms such as Young olives and popular audition programs (Produce 101, Girls Planet 999, Planet for children), now he faces the accusations that his leader has engaged in practices that diminish and commodish women behind closed doors.
