Mnet’s contest program ‘Street Girls Fighter’ (hereafter, ‘Sgirls’) made a statement about the allegations of favoritism in some areas as “groundless.”

On the 18th, ‘Street Girls Fighter’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Sgirls’) drew a line to Maeil Business Star Today on the 18th, saying, “There are no cast members who have special preferences or who have been cast (before public recruitment).”

The ‘Sgirls’ side emphasized, “The ‘Sgirls’ are openly recruiting high school girls who dream of becoming dancers, and all applications are being applied in the same way.” He further consolidated his position, saying, “The online postings are unfounded and we will take strong measures against the spread of false information.”

‘Sgirlpa’ is a spin-off version of Mnet’s contest program ‘Street Woman Fighter’, and it started recruiting high school girls nationwide on the 14th.

However, on the 17th, an article was published in an online community that exposed the allegations of student preferential treatment of the ‘Sgirls’, and it was engulfed in controversy even before the start. The author said, “I found out through my acquaintances that Mnet announced the recruitment of the crew directly to a famous art high school. It appears to be,” he said in anger.

‘Sgirlpa’ is scheduled to air at the end of the year.

Currently, ‘Sgirlpa’ is openly recruiting high school girls who dream of becoming dancers, and all applications are being applied in the same way.

There are no cast members who have special privileges or who have been cast.

Articles posted online are unfounded, and we will take strong measures against the spread of unconfirmed false information.
