A2O LITE member Aizhing faces controversy over parents' debt and conduct

Aizhing, a member of the newly debuted girl group A2O LITE produced by Lee Soo-man, is facing dual controversies involving her family's financial issues and her own professional conduct.

Reports indicate that Aizhing's parents, who operated an education company in Beijing, are accused of unpaid wages dating back to 2024. Court enforcement amounts related to the company and her parents are estimated at approximately 3.45 million yuan (roughly 700 million won). While Aizhing's mother issued an apology on Weibo, stating she would take responsibility for the business failures, she emphasized that her daughter is not involved in the debt. In response, some Chinese fans have proposed organizing funds or loans to repay the debt so the young artist can focus on her career, a move that has drawn criticism from those who believe the unpaid employees should be the priority.

Additionally, Aizhing has faced scrutiny regarding her attitude. A video circulating on social media shows her adjusting her position during a group photo session, leading to allegations that she pushed a fellow member to secure a better spot. While some netizens criticized her lack of consideration, others argued that the footage is too brief and potentially misinterpreted given her age and status as a rookie.
