1. "Draft-style" screening: from SMS invitation to multi-level review
According to the testimonies and communications records obtained by Dispatch, Li's manager sent mysterious invitations to groups such as Red, broadcaster, practitioner and others through KakaoTalk to filter target women in the name of "high-end DJ parties".
Participants need to pass the triple review: first in the high-end coffee shop in Qingdao Cave in Jiangnan region to accept the face appearance assessment, clearly requiring "fibrous body, long hair clothes"; after the immediate need to perform some disease testing, the positive person directly eliminated; finally by photo clues to roam several locations, to reach the roof and other secret party venues.
The manager also proposed to the participants strict dressing rules: "The height of 170 cm or more, must wear black short dresses, black socks, high heels of more than 9 cm, hair should not be bound - - this is the chairman's preference ".

Party Sites: Playing Plates, Hot Dance and “Cash Rating”
Before entering the party venue, all participants' mobile phones were uniformly confiscated, and the scene atmosphere was described as "hidden like a spy movie". the core links of the activity included competitive hot dance performances (partly up to 19 prohibited levels), Li personally played a dish promotion, and all women had to stand up to welcome when he arrived.
The remuneration system hides grade differences: ordinary participants can get 1.5 million yuan cash (approximately RMB 7.590) when leaving the venue, placed in a white envelope without any records; if selected as a “regular guest”, they can get 10 million yuan (approximately RMB 7.12 million) and domestic three-day tour rewards.
Participants post on social platforms: "Tomorrow must be better, to turn from 'servant' to 'Queen' and get the weekend guest qualification."

3. Industrial tearing: relying on the rise of female consumption, but it is materialized
The irony of the incident lies in the fact that Li's CJ Group is deeply dependent on the women's market: its TVN television station produced "Ghosts", "Please Answer" series and other women's Korean dramas, Mnet produced "Produce 101" and other iconic shows, OLIVE YOUNG makeup store is a Korean women's consumer landmark, and even the Oscar-winning film "Parasite" is also invested by it.
The group’s “ONLYONE (first and best) spirit” is in sharp contrast to Lee’s behavior of “filtering women with money.”
Korean women's rights groups pointed out: "CJ earns billions of won from female consumers every year, but connives at the helm to alienate women into 'ornamental products', which is a betrayal of all women."

The Shadow of the Wall: Historical Controversy and Current Silence
It is worth noting that it is not the first time that Lee Jae Hyun has been involved in controversy.
The power struggle between his family and Samsung Group has caused many scandals. In 2013, it was revealed that its employees were suspected of shooting sex videos of the former president of Samsung for extortion.
After the incident was revealed, the CJ Group did not respond to the issue, and Korean netizens have launched the "Resistance CJ products" campaign, CGV cinemas, OLIVE YOUNG stores online rating has risen several times.

At the same time, two artists who were rumored to be related to the incident have urgently refuted the rumors: Cui Yina, a former IZ * ONE member, said that she "didn't know Lee Jae Hyun at all", while Coco, a variety guest, revealed that she had had a meal with Lee Jae Hyun because of the invitation of her mother's friend, but denied any interest connection.
At present, Dispatch stated that it will continue to disclose more evidence, and the South Korean procuratorial system has not yet disclosed whether to open an investigation.
Today, this “woman scandal” has gone beyond individual moral controversy and has become another concentrated torture of the South Korean society on the privileges and gender equality issues.
