If someone claims a K-pop agency personally cleared their business deal, that’s usually the moment to get suspicious. Cube Entertainment just confirmed exactly that.
On July 3, Cube Entertainment — home to groups like (G)I-DLE and Pentagon — issued a public warning after discovering scammers were using its name to pull off an elaborate investment fraud in China.
What’s Actually Going On
According to the agency, certain businesses have been falsely claiming Cube approved performances by its artists in China. They’ve reportedly used that lie to solicit large investments from Chinese companies — money based entirely on arrangements that don’t exist.

Cube Isn’t Playing Around
The agency didn’t mince words, stating it will pursue both criminal complaints and civil lawsuits against anyone caught using its name, or its artists’ names, to spread false information, solicit investments, or sign unauthorized contracts. It’s a clear signal: this isn’t a warning shot, it’s a promise.

The Verdict
