ŌĆ£The reason we had no other choice but to put up (with CEO Kang Seong Hee) was the fear of losing the last chance we could have,ŌĆØ Jaehan opened up. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve endured it all, but weŌĆÖve reached a point where we canŌĆÖt just take in any more. So weŌĆÖve gathered our courage for those who are being treated unfairly while having the same dream as us.ŌĆØ The group made headlines not long ago when they were seen verbally and physically abused by their agency CEO. But on this day, the boys added that theyŌĆÖd been sexually harassed by CEO Kang. He claimed, ŌĆ£CEO Kang made us drink alcohol after we were done with our practice. And she didnŌĆÖt hesitate to make sexual harassment and habitually molested us by touching our thighs and face.ŌĆØ The lawyer representing the group further explained, ŌĆ£She touched their thighs and even made them feel her breath on their faces. If a girl was subjected to such an act, itŌĆÖd have been considered a serious crime.ŌĆØ Hangyeom also commented, ŌĆ£There was a strange culture (in our agency) of giving presents after being CEO KangŌĆÖs ŌĆśblack knightŌĆÖ (when a boy takes the turn instead of a girl). If she didnŌĆÖt drink her drinks, Kang would turn sulky or glare at us and then change her attitude toward us the next day.ŌĆØ Sebin elaborated, ŌĆ£If we refused to drink with her, she said, ŌĆśThere is no next album for you,ŌĆÖ to us.ŌĆØ Afterward, Junghoon shared, ŌĆ£We returned home after the incident in LA, but we still havenŌĆÖt received an apology that we thought was sincere. Instead, she threatened us by bringing up our military duties and sent us an outrageous statement of accounts of the unpaid fees we owe the label.ŌĆØ Source (1, 2, 3)
