Osaka JoJoGang Members Expose Conflict with Leader Ibuki Following 'Street Woman Fighter 3' Win

Six members of Osaka JoJoGang, the triumphant team from Mnet's 'Street Woman Fighter 3' (SWF3), have publicly revealed a significant conflict with their leader, Ibuki, leaving fans concerned.

In a lengthy statement released via their official social media, the six members expressed their intention to prepare for a tour to fulfill their promise to fans of performing on stage. However, they stated they received no explanation regarding tour contracts or schedules from their manager.

Through the concert production company, the members discovered that negotiations between the manager and tour organizers were not progressing effectively. They decided to issue this statement to present the facts of the situation from their perspective.

According to their account, Osaka JoJoGang, originally formed as a 7-member dance team centered around leader Ibuki for SWF3, faced numerous issues during broadcast appearances. These included non-payment of appearance fees and opaque financial dealings, with salaries often delayed or not even properly proposed, despite member inquiries.

Furthermore, the members alleged a lack of prior communication regarding incoming projects and stated that even their activities as Osaka JoJoGang were disregarded under the manager's oversight, alongside their individual endeavors.

Following these revelations, Ibuki reportedly apologized to the members and promised to dismiss the manager. The members trusted this assurance and agreed to participate in the SWF3 concert, but Ibuki's promise was not fulfilled. Consequently, only the six members excluding Ibuki participated in the SWF3 concert.

The six members announced that future activities for Osaka JoJoGang will be discussed further and announced at a later date. Previously, Ibuki's absence from SWF3 Seoul and Busan performances raised questions, leading Ibuki to publicly criticize the SWF3 production, citing a lack of right to speak as an artist. However, the concert production company, Route59, refuted these claims, stating they made continuous efforts for Ibuki's appearance but received no response. The statement from the six members has since been deleted from Osaka JoJoGang's official SNS.

Osaka JoJoGang emerged as the victorious team of Mnet's 'Street Woman Fighter 3', showcasing their exceptional dance prowess.

The recent revelations highlight a deep rift between the six members and their leader, Ibuki, casting a shadow over the group's future.

Fans are keenly awaiting further developments as the members plan to discuss and announce their future activities.
