An autographed CD which seems to have been gifted by Oh My Girl to sunbae's Lovelyz has been posted on the used trading market.
On the 25th, a post on the online market stated, "We're selling an autographed Closer album by Oh My girl. It also has JinE’s autograph. The message is written in Jiho’s handwriting, so it has value. The photocard is Binnie. Quote your price. Since ‘Closer’ isn’t in print anymore, the going price is 70,000 won (approximately $56) for opened albums and 130,000 won (approximately $105) for sealed albums, so take that into consideration when placing your bid."
The post included a picture of the album. The message on the album reads, "To Lovelyz. Hello! This is Oh My Girl. ‘A-Chu’ is so fresh and bubbly! We hope you will show a lot of support for our new song ‘Closer’ as well! We’ll become a group that always works hard."

Oh My Girl's agency WM Entertainment stated in a phone interview with Segye Ilbo, "We haven't heard anything about it. It's hard for us to confirm anything right now."
Segye tried to contract the author of listing including Lovelyz' agency Woollim but failed to reach them.

Later, Woollim Entertainment released an official statement writing, "Recently, we became aware that a CD that Lovelyz had received as a gift in the past was being sold on a mobile application, and we have checked with both staff and subcontractors to confirm how the item was leaked. We are currently taking care to store all items, including CDs that are gifted to our artists, and we would like to inform you that we have never handed off any items to others. The item in question has been determined to be a case of theft. We have requested a police investigation and will do our best to confirm the exact details of the leak and retrieve the item. We extend our sincerest apologies to those affected by this unexpected situation. We promise to take extra precautions to make sure such an incident never happens again."
- [+2,096, -33] Hul~ This is really too much. Oh My Girl must be feeling so upset over this. I hope they find whoever posted it.
- [+1,724, -36] Could it be someone from Lovelyz agency? Or someone threw it in the trash and someone else found it and put it up for sale? How upsetting for Oh My Girl
- [+1,499, -26] ?? What kind of situation is this?
- [+207, -21] It's not "a-chu" but rather "a-choo". Oh My Girl couldn't have spelled it wrong when they wrote it. And the CD was gifted with just the group name and not the members names? Anyone else think this was forged?
- [+169, -15] There are people that sell forged autographed CD's online. Just like someone mentioned in the comments, it's not a-chu but rather ah-choo. I don't think they would've made a huge mistake like that..
- [+161, -15] What's with the comments..why would Lovelyz sell this. This sounds like a staff problem
- [+126, -10] Something smells fishy about this. Oh My Girl's leader and Lovelyz Mijoo are close friends. Also Jin quit the group a few years because she was sick. Sounds like someone is trying to fabricate a fan war.
