Instiz: Summary of Seo Jisoo scandal (The Fact)
- Woah, everybody needs to read the full article... This is not right. Woollim is seriously disappointing
- It breaks my heart to see what the victims say. "People compare us to Tajinyo"...
- 100 million? What kind of a delinquent are they?
- They kept showing evidences and this article was written based on the recordings. How many more evidences do you want? Woollim never clarified anything and they're just threatening the victims to bury this issue. I don't trust Woollim because I feel so bad for the victims. Trainees leave their groups nowadays if they get into controversies but I don't understand why Woollim is insisting on keeping Jisoo when the group's concept is innocent.
- So it wasn't all rumors...
A Lovelyz fan sent The Fact a few links of rebuttals against their article
The Fact replied:
"Hello.
You must've worked hard to send us the rebuttals but unfortunately, it says I can't read the posts because I'm not a member on the site.
I also read the email you sent previously... You were practically saying, "look at this. Are you still saying that D is right?"
I want to say this to you.
I'm not stupid and I don't have any bad intent. Do you think I wrote the article just because D said, "this is it"? It didn't take us one or two days. It look us a long time and the article was published after careful consideration of the entire editing team. We worked on it very seriously because it's very sensitive news. We don't just publish an article after lightly looking at the issue and a quick judgement."

Instiz: The Fact's reply to Lovelyz fan who says it's a rumor
- The CEO of The Fact even tweeted the article of Seo Jisoo
- So they basically flatly claimed that this is the truth
- I think it's true. Woollim is not a small company. If the article is false, they wouldn't be staying silent like this.
- Why is Woollim so quiet this time when they were giving such fast feedback when it started on Twitter?
- Woollim needs to release a proper official statement
