that 1 billion won figure is the object of a whole lot of fudging because a major claim that inflamed the sudden uproar is when people thought that was the total amount raised by the event in 20 years
turns out it was what the host w korea magazine's publisher reported as having individually contributed to the breast cancer, cause in total over 20 years as part of the charity drive
while the brands make separate donations to get the idols who attend for free (but cover their own logistical costs for the event) to wear and promote their merchandise
now i understand publishing is operating on thin margins these days so the magazine isn't expected to match the brands' donations. their main goal is already met by organizing and hosting the annual event that can get bigger companies to collectively give 1 billion won each year to charity
so its looking like another confused witch hunt from people not knowing the first thing about how the world works
