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 supported presidential candidates Park Won-soon and Moon Jae-in.[14][16][17] The blacklist includes their former manager and members Seokjune, Byungho, Cory, Kisu, and Daeil.[16]
