In a press conference held in the conference room of the Korean Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 29th, the mother of Ga-eun said, "(The physical contact of CEO Lee Yong-hak continued)" and "Even if I told him not to touch his body, it continued."
On this day, Ga-eun's mother "Ga-eun valued relationships with people from an early age. It was a bright and clear child. I dreamed of becoming an idol, and I really thought about it. I gradually lost my vitality. CEO Lee Yong-hak called the children and exchanged them in the name of counseling. As a result, they didn't trust each other. As a mother, I drove my child by saying that social life is like that, that I started it because you wanted to. I followed my anger because I was afraid it would harm my child. I didn't know this would be a source of trouble."
Then "The child tried to work even though he was having a hard time. He said he loved her like his own daughter. Communication with friends was also blocked. Knowing that Ga-eun had consulted with the dance teacher separately, CEO Lee Yong-hak inspected Ga-eun's mobile phone in the morning, day, and night."
In the meantime, physical contact, which was a light touch, intensified after graduating from high school. He told me not to touch my body, but CEO Lee Yong-hak continued on the grounds that he was working. Then the incident happened. Hearing the child's story, I truly thought I was a sinner. He didn't listen to the rescue signal many times, and as a result of closing his eyes and ears, he had to go through something unimaginable"He recalled the incident.
And "Still, the child thought he wanted to continue his Madein activities in the fans' minds. I didn't know what to do, and I couldn't report it. I tried to finish the activity quietly after receiving only a memorandum from the representative. I thought only the representative had to step down from the front line. Whistled and acted as if nothing had happened. The child struggled with tears if the whistle of the representative was ringing in his ears. The child eventually collapsed. Every day was like hell. I couldn't leave the child for a moment. My heart burned at the guilt of not being able to protect my child."
The child's recording was broadcast in the `Case Classroom' while the mother, Ga-eun, wrote \. I never agreed, I didn't even know it existed. For the child's dream and future, I tried to quietly turn off the activity, but when it appeared on the show, the child was afraid. Dad met the representative at his birthplace that he couldn't put it off any longer. He said he would meet all the conditions he wanted, coordinated, and the CEO told the child to press 'Like' for the company to post a statement. CEO Lee Yong-hak also asked for the child's entrance. I cried when I saw what they sent me. The entrance statement was a false accusation. CEO Lee Yong-hak changed his attitude as to why the victim should raise the perpetrator's position" he said.
Also "I bet everything on 143 Entertainment. The child was at a loss for what to do. In a situation where neither idol activities nor the CEO's apology can be expected, all we could ask for from the CEO was the settlement money. It's a house that's ashamed but doesn't have anything. It was the stupidity of the parents who were worried about their children's future. In other people's eyes, they simply ask for money, and I think the child can get hurt. Looking back, I felt guilty. The representative refused, saying that the settlement money was also an admission of guilt. If Ga-eun is hurt, she just talks and leaves the place.
The next day, Ga-eun's exit article came out, and only the position that the exclusive contract was valid came out. Ga Eun wanted to continue her Madein activities. We were afraid that the child would be hurt and what kind of lies would be used to respond. I am forever a sinner to our daughter. I pushed the child into deeper darkness because of the justification for the child. I'm sorry and I'm sorry again. I sincerely bow to my daughter, who has endured four years that I can't handle. Now I really want to protect my child. A child who just became an adult. I want my child to do what he wants to do and ease the heavy burden he has on him. There are still many children who are likely to endure these complaints. I think someone like this should be kicked out of the industry and paid for their crimes"Wept.
Earlier on November 22 last year, JTBC 'Case Team Leader' reported that a multinational girl group member who debuted in September 2024 was sexually harassed by the CEO of the agency. As a result, it was speculated that the victim was Ga-eun, and 143 said, "We inform you that there was no sexual contact between the member and the representative mentioned in the broadcast by any sexual harassment or other force, and the report is not true.", he denied.
