The Madein member claimed to be a victim of sexual harassment by his own employer after expressing his intention to withdraw from the Kpop group.
Citing reports mStarGaeun or Oh Ga Eun, 19, revealed the CEO of 143 Entertainment did the deed after asking her to be his girlfriend for a day in return for a request to leave Madein.
“I informed that I wanted to leave Madein but on the condition that I had to be his girlfriend for a day,” he said.
Gaeun revealed the matter through a voice recording played on a television show JTBC Supervisor Scandal.
In the meantime, Gaeun claimed that her employer forcibly kissed and groped her despite her repeated rejections.
In fact, the man continued the act for two hours without paying attention to his appeal.
Meanwhile, 143 Entertainment denied Gaeun’s claim and described it as a heavy slander thrown against the company’s CEO.
The agency also explained that the accusation arose as a result of a misunderstanding by other parties and not from Madein members.
“We confirm that there is no harassment or any form of forced sexual intercourse involving Madein members and the agency’s CEO.
“The reported content is based on misinterpretation by other individuals and not by the members involved and we would like to emphasize once again that the accusation is completely baseless,” he said.
143 Entertainment shared the statement through the X platform yesterday.
Recently, Gaeun deleted all photos on his Instagram account and unfollowed the CEO of his management company. – Agency
