The Weverse magazine team issued an official apology for the recent internal Hive document scandal.
Hive's internal documents, which have recently been spreading through online communities, caused a big stir after they were found to contain negative public opinion monitoring by their artists and slander against artists belonging to competitors. In particular, some of the contents of the report were disclosed at the parliamentary audit of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee on the 24th of last month.
In this regard, the Weverse Magazine team said today (11th), "We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused by the monitoring document."
"The document is a separate task conducted by the former editor, and members of Weverse magazine were not aware of the existence of the document itself," he said, stressing that no members and external writers participated in the creation of Weverse magazine except for the former editor.
Weverse Magazine said, "It is irrelevant to the controversial monitoring document, and members of Weverse Magazine clearly oppose it. Nevertheless, I apologize once again for being mentioned in the unsavory matter and for causing inconvenience to use," he said.
After the document scandal broke out, Hive removed the former editor-in-chief from his position and took measures to exclude him from Weverse magazine's work. In addition, it is known that the manpower that the former editor-in-chief separately requested for monitoring work was also excluded from the work.
