Time and time again OffKai have shown their disdain for corpos such as Phase (despite heavily investing in it when other corpos didn't - see 2023 when Idol was billed as the top sponsor and didn't have much to show yet PC was everywhere).
Oh and let's not forget, OffKai platformed vile people like MarinaVT because the management had no issues with what they were up to. If you want OffKai to be a proper success, the management needs cleaned out from top to bottom.
Just because the volunteers this year are largely capipis doesn't stop OffKai staff from fucking around like last year. Even if they have dropped a few of the problem people they are still going to cause trouble, just look at the uproar over the IDs for meet and greets.
