"He should be kicked out of the group" K-netizens react to ALPHA DRIVE ONE Geonwoo's 'verbal abuse' controversy

ALPHA DRIVE ONE member Kim Geonwoo's current controversy is now a trending topic among K-netizens.

The first accusations of Geonwoo's 'verbal abuse' came out only 2 days ago, when an anonymous post stated that Geonwoo had verbally attacked the floor director at MBC - even calling the director a "fat a**." Later, additional industry insiders came forward to testify about another incident in which Geonwoo had cursed at staff and showed "bad character." 

The recent allegations also caused discussion of a previous incident to resurface, in which Geonwoo faced accusations of bullying a fellow trainee. At the time, Geonwoo ended up writing a letter of apology to that trainee.

With more and more accusations against Geonwoo, the topic has quickly become a popular subject of discussion among K-netizens. Most are sharing their shocked and angry reactions, with some even calling for Geonwoo to leave ALPHA DRIVE ONE.

"He should be kicked out of the group"

"This is crazy... people like that should have their career ruined"

"So even though there was already controversy over his personality, he was still allowed to debut"

"Seriously, does he want to be a celebrity or not?"

"So when a popular female idol was caught being mean to staff, her career was basically sent to hell immediately. But this rookie male idol has already been rude to staff multiple times... will anything even happen to him?"

"I don't even know what Geonwoo looks like, but I've already seen what seems like hundreds of posts talking about his bad attitude"

"Isn't this the same group that was recently rude to their own fans?"

"Do rookies act like this because they have a low level of talent? I'm curious"

"He seriously said that to the floor director? ...This isn't just an abuse of power, I think there's something seriously wrong with his personality"

"If this is all true, he must be crazy. How could a rookie do something like this?"

"It's not like he's a top celebrity or something, he's just a rookie. So how can he act like that?"

"This isn't even something that you can just ignore and move past. And every day, more and more allegations are coming up"

"If there are that many consistent accusation posts, there's a serious problem"

"If they let him stay in the group, it will be like they're taking a ticking bomb with them"

"It would be better to kick him out now before he causes a much bigger scandal later on"
