Earlier on the same day, Kang Min Kyung, who runs the clothing business along with her singing career, recently posted a job posting on her Instagram story. The announcement said that college graduates were required to have three to seven years of experience for CS, a fashion brand shopping mall, but the annual salary listed for the applicants was only 25 million won ($19,600).
With the minimum hourly wage of 9,620 won ($ 7.5) in 2023, controversy arose over “low pay” for career workers, which is no different from the minimum hourly wage. After the posting, the singer was heavily criticized by the public for underpaying the employees.
Meanwhile, Kang Min Kyung founded Abiemua, a women’s fashion brand, in 2020. Last year, she purchased a 6.5 billion won building in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and the building will be used as an office for fashion brands in operation.
