Recently, a video clip of IVE’s Rei went viral online.
In the clip, she revealed that Starship Entertainment demanded she remove the mole on her neck.
The company told me to get rid of the mole on my neck, but I refused to. It’s a precious treasure my mom gifted me, so I didn’t want to get it removed. So when people sometimes notice my mole and tell me it’s pretty, I say, ‘Right?’

As a result, fans called out Starship Entertainment for trying to pressure her into removing it.

first of all, rei’s mole is so pretty and unique 🥰
secondly, as someone who had some of her moles removed ( and needs to redo it again bcs the deep parts came to surface ), you all and all the companies must know that NOT ALL MOLES can be removed + https://t.co/QVErZzgBBj
