A rookie male idol has been accused of severely mistreating a floor director at MBC.
Recently, a post from an online mom cafe has gone viral in Korea, in which the OP (original poster) detailed the extent of abusive language her daughter faced on set with the alleged idol.
The post, originally published a month ago, began by noting that OP’s daughter had been hired as a contract floor director at MBC two years ago. A week before writing the post, she received a call from her daughter, who broke down into tears over the phone, saying she wanted to die. When the parents rushed to her side, she told them that she had been hurt by a celebrity.
The OP avoided naming anyone, stating that she didn’t want her daughter to face retaliation because the idol was under a large corporation. She then claimed that while working with a boy group, her daughter was giving instructions to the members, and one of them responded saying, “F*ck, why is that fat b*tch talking so much?” The mother mentioned that the idol probably thought her daughter couldn’t hear him, but she did. Even as the filming resumed, the idol allegedly kept glaring at her, scanning her body with disdain, and even berated her rudely when a prop malfunctioned.
Though the post didn’t name anyone, the OP mentioned that the idol was part of a group created through a survival show on tvN or Mnet. Finally, she claimed that the accused was a 24-year-old idol named “Kim.”
As the story spread across online platforms, an individual believed to be the victim came forward and named the accused as ALPHA DRIVE ONE‘s Kim Geonwoo. She also provided images of her work desk and a weekly filming schedule as “evidence” that she is currently working at MBC. Talking about Geonwoo, she described him as having “horrible character,” but she didn’t provide any further details.

They're trying to frame this as a hoax, so someone verified that famous broadcast writers' group chat with a thousand members and revealed who it was...

I saw on Namu Wiki that even though articles exposing their character issues surfaced right from the first episode of the audition show in July 2025, he still managed to debut successfully?? How???

Is it ALPHA DRIVE ONE's KGW?

Why are all the kids picked by Mnet like that? Is it a national rule that they all come in with a f*cking serious case of the celebrity disease? Even the ones who did fan meetings and cursed at fans, weren't they all from Mnet auditions last season?;;; Mnet should just shut down all these damn Produce seasons

The way OP said they didn't want their daughter to face retaliation, I think it's real
[instiz] A POST EXPOSING KIM GEONWOO HAS COME OUT AND NOW THERE'S EVEN SOMEONE CLAIMING TO BE A PD FROM MBC EDITING ROOM CONFIRMING IT
"I wrote it all here
Alpha Drive One's Kim Geonwoo has a terrible personality
The whole broadcasting industry knows about it. I'm confident, so I'm using my real name.
Avoid Kim Gun-woo. He genuinely has a terrible personality. The rumors are true. He's a real jerk."
Verified as an anonymous entertainment industry insider on Instiz.
I'm working overtime at the broadcasting station right now and I'm so pissed that I'm writing this.
Just stop already.
This isn't AI. Not AI."
When I paused the gif, I saw the hidden text: Management Center. And on the 3rd floor of the Management Center is the Design Office, which is MBC.
The proof photo of the PD who exposed him
The desk and monitor setup is exactly the same as the MBC editing room. This is the real deal...

1. Even during the survival show, he wrote an apology letter after a trainee's expose... Not removing him but letting him debut is ridiculous...
2. Seeing this level of evidence, it must be true. Usually, when you're a trainee, you're on your guard trying to not make a mistake and hiding everything but seeing him going to such extent, then...
3. It's real? Daebak
4. Kick him out. Why keep a guy with a dirty personality like him?
5. ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Wow, they must've been furious
6. No but I thought that he wouldn't have been able to debut during the survival days because of his personality scandal? How is he debuting now just for this scandal to break out?
7. But everything aside, seeing how he kept getting into personality controversies even during his survival days means that he's really problematic no..?
8. Who is he?
9. He was always like that
10. He's always had bad rumors even before debuting, people were saying that his personality was bad
