Park Won-soon
Also on May 9, it was revealed that 24K was the only idol group that was put on the blacklist by former president Park Geun-hye. The impeached president put together a blacklist of celebrities to exclude them from receiving any support from the state. The blacklist's existence was made known in October 2016 before the president's impeachment, the full list being uncovered in April. A representative of the blacklist declared that the blacklist consisted of those who expressed any sort of support against governmental commands about the Sewol accident and artists who opposed presidential candidates Park Won-soon and Moon Jae-in. The blacklist includes their former manager and members Seokjune, Byungho, Cory, Kisu, and Daeil.
