U.S. Austin concert day 1

(Previous situation explained by the people involved)
2 fans bought vodka from the bar inside the concert venue
During the encore, they held up a sign that said, "Wanna party together? Drink with us!" and showed it to Mingyu.
Mingyu only laughed it off at first, but the fans said they actually had alcohol for him.

(In the video)
Mingyu asked what was in the cup, and the fans told him it was vodka.
He then asked a staff to hand it over and drank it on stage.

Both Korean and international fans are now upset, saying things like,

"Why did he carelessly drink something when he didn't know what was inside?" and "Why did those fans even give that to him in the first place?"

-That was carelessㅠ... I hope he doesn't do that again, for his own safety. Who knows what could've been mixed in there...

-Why would he accept and drink that?

-He must be insane. What if there were drugs or poison it it?? He's lucky nothing happened.

-Oh goodness, he needs to be carefulㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ He can't just trust anyone just because they're his fans.

-I know Mingyu did it with good intentions, but that's dangerousㅠㅠ Let's not give or receive things like thatㅠㅠ

-ㅠㅠ Mingyu-ya, please don’t do that again.

-There's a bar inside the concert venue? That's fascinating... Even if a fan gave it to him, he should be carefulㅠ

-Did he know it was alcohol? Then why did he drink it? He's performing. It's still part of his job.

-Honestly, that’s a really dangerous thing to do.

-If he drank it and there were drugs in it, would he still be punished??

-The world’s too scary these days…

-Why are people blaming Mingyu for this...? Yeah, it was dangerous, but is it something to criticize this much?

-What damage did he suffer for people to call him a victim?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Was it wrong for him to trust a fanㅠㅠ? Those fans shouldn't have given it to him in the first place.

-Mingyu is still too naive. Please don't ever accept food or drinks from people you don't know, it's dangerous.

-He trusted the fan, but it's a dangerous country to be trusted. Now that he knows, hopefully he'll be more careful.

"You need to get a little dirty" ... Music director hugs and kisses an actress who is 19 years younger than him

 

“It was just a manner hug.”

Music director A, charged with sexually harassing an actress who is 19 years younger than him, defended himself until the ent. However, the court pointed out that A had left a note before the crime that said, 'check if (victim's name) is tainted', highlighting premeditation, and sentenced him to a fine of 4 million KRW.

A planned meeting, followed by harassment

The incident began on the night of October 4, 2023, at a bar in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. According to the Seoul Western District Court's ruling, prior to the meeting, A wrote on a note on his phone: 'Meet ㅇㅇ(Victim's name), ○△ (Check ifㅇㅇ is tainted.'

That night, during drinks, A made several sexually inappropriate remarks to B (female, 25 years old at the time), such as, "You need to get a little dirty." He then forcibly hugged B three times in front of the bar's restroom and kissed her on the forehead.

The harassment did not stop there. At the photo booth they moved to, A approached B from behind and assaulted her again by brushing her ack and waist. B testified to the investigative authorities that she "leaned against the wall to stop his hand from going down to my butt."

The excuse that "It was a manner hug," and the reason why the court disagreed

In court, A denied the charges, claiming "It was just a manner hug," and that "My lips only brushed her forehead." However, the court dismissed his claims for clear reasons.

Consistent victim testimony
From the beginning of the investigation, B's testimony was specific and consistent, saying, "He hugged me while saying things like, 'Now that I've gotten you to drink, you’re finally opening up to me.’ The court deemed her testimony “natural enough that only someone who experienced it could describe it that way.”

Objective evidence.
Immediately after the incident, B sent KakaoTalk messages to her acquaintances informing them of the assault, saying, "The music director kissed me on the forehead after drinking," and "He put his arm around my waist, and I had to lean on the wall so his hand wouldn’t go lower.”

The defendant’s apology.
It was revealed that A called B directly the day after the incident and apologized, "Did I hug you and kiss your forehead yesterday? I'm sorry."

Taking all evidence into account, the court ruled that A’s behavior “caused sexual humiliation and disgust to a reasonable person and violated sound sexual ethics,” confirming the intent of sexual harassment.

The complaint filed after a year, and the actress' anguish hidden behind it

The fact that B filed the complaint a year after the assault also became an issue. However, the court ruled that this was fully understandable considering the nature of her occupation as an actress. The complaint contained the detail that B hesitated to file the complaint due to concerns about career damage.

The court stated, "It is fully understandable, given her profession as an actress. She hesitated to report the incident out of concern for her acting career if the facts of the assault were to become known in the industry."

The court also stated that A had exploited his position as a music director to harass a victim 19 years younger and continued to make excuses throughout the trial.

However, since the two reached a settlement and the victim no longer sought punishment, and because A had no prior record, the court sentenced him to a fine of 4 million KRW and 40 hours of sexual violence treatment program.

-Disgusting.

-Wow, that’s so gross.

-Wow, how can someone even think of something like that?

-Sigh... There is too much trash in the world.

-They should reveal who this is. The industry is small, so he'll just keep working.

-Die. Just die, die painfully.

-A 4 million won fine? Are you kidding me? What kind of punishment is this?

-Don’t let sex offenders roam free, please arrest them.

-Hul, who is it?

-I don’t know this group well, but it’s nice to see them wrapping things up meaningfully after nearly seven years. I've seen so many unsuccessful groups end on a bad note.

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ah... I thought they would last a bit longer since they appeared on ISAC recentlyㅜㅜ

-They held on for a long time...

-I’ve heard their name before.

-They worked hardㅠㅠ

-Thank you for your hard work.

-I first saw them at an overseas event. They were all pretty.

-Everyone worked hard... The members, the managers, and the staff..

-I really liked DreamNote's 'Ghost'...

-DreamNote's 'Night' is a good song, you should listen to itㅜㅜ

-I saw them when they came to Hyehwa to promote their debut, and already 7 years have passed. I hope they're all happy.

-They used to practice in the basement of the company building I briefly worked at a long time ago. It's hard to believe it's ending like this.

Park Bom sues Yang Hyunsuk, agency says, "We can't control her either"

 

Park Bom's unprecedented lawsuit announcement left her agency in shock.

A representative from Park Bom's side stated in a phone call on the 22nd, "We can't control Park Bom either," and added, "We are currently checking the details of the lawsuit (against YG Ent. Chief Producer Yang Hyunsuk)."

Earlier today, Park Bom suddenly revealed via her Instagram that she had filed a lawsuit against Yang Hyunsuk, leaving the public stunned.

Park Bom wrote, "Dear citizens, please investigate exactly what YG Ent. did to Park Bom," alongside a photo of the lawsuit she claimed to have filed.

According to the document, Park Bom filed a lawsuit against Yang Hyunsuk on charges of fraud and embezzlement. She claims Yang Hyunsuk failed to apy her '64272e' trillion KRW. She also claims to have suffered severe financial loss and emotional distress, calling it a clear act of fraud and embezzlement. The complaint was reportedly dated the 19th.

Park Bom, who had been touring with 2NE1 since their reunion, is currently on hiatus due to mental health concerns. Her agency, D-Nation Ent., stated last August, "Park Bom will not be able to participate in future 2NE1 schedules. We made this decision after long discussion, as she has been advised by medical professionals to take sufficient rest and stability."

1. [+71][-0] Please go to the hospital.

2. [+48][-2] 'We can't control her either'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What kind of situation is thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ It seems like she's really lost it that even her agency can't control her. Shouldn't the members step up and try to stop her?

3. [+43][-0] At this point, shouldn’t she be hospitalized?

4. [+12][-0] Judging by the amount she wrote, isn’t this just a joke?

5. [+8][-0] In all my life, this is the first time I've seen an official statement from a company saying 'We can’t control her'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Contact info: XXX

2. Defendant:

Name: Yang Hyunsuk
Affiliation: YG Entertainment

3. Charges

Fraud and embezzlement

4. Purpose of complaint

The defendant failed to pay the complainant her rightful earnings over a long period of time. Therefore, the complainant requests a thorough investigation and legal punishment.

The defendant failed to properly pay the profits generated from all activities in which the complainant participated, including music releases, concerts, broadcasts, advertisements, events, song writing, and composition. The amount is estimated to be approximately 102003004006007001000034 '64272e trillion KRW, which represents the complainant's rightful earnings.

6. Evidence:

-Contracts and profit-related documents

-What is that amount…?

-That amount… It doesn't makes any sense… Who writes a lawsuit like that?

-I’m worried about Park Bom.

-She really doesn’t seem to be in a good condition.

-Can Park Bom even read what that amount says?

-I was shocked, so I went to her Instagram. She even posted the picture without covering her own phone number... She really needs someone around her to take care of her.

-I just wish the public would pay a little less attention to her.

-What is this? Did she really file a lawsuit because she didn’t get paid properly?

-Is this a joke or what...??? It doesn't look like she got any help from a lawyer either...

-Someone needs to stop her from doing activities… This is really concerning.

-Other than ADHD, has it ever been revealed what condition she has? Judging from her actions, at least bipolar disorder…

-Park Bom clearly looks unwell. I don't understand how they still made her go on tour with that condition...

-Yang Hyunsuk is likely to file a countersuit at this point...

-Is she... not receiving treatment...?

'Is an apology enough?' ... Lee Yikyung's rumor spreader deletes account after admitting using AI

 

Social media account of netizen 'A,' who raised allegations about Lee Yikyung's private life, has been deleted.

As of the morning of October 22, the Twitter account A had been using now displays the message: 'This account doesn't exist. Try searching for another account.'

Previously, A had caused a stir by releasing screenshots of chat with someone saved as 'Actor Lee Yikyung,' claiming there were inappropriate sexual remarks. In response, Lee Yikyung's agency, Sanyoung Ent., announced, "We are preparing legal action against the spread of false information and malicious rumors recently posted and circulated on online communities and social media. Given the seriousness of this matter, we plan to pursue every possible legal measures by calculating the scale of damages resulting from the rumors."

Despite this, A had previously signaling further revelations, saying, "It wasn't for money, but to prevent harm to other women," claiming, "I'm gathering more evidence."

However, suddenly in the early morning of the 22nd, A confessed, saying "It all started as a joke. I didn't expect it to get so much attention. But as I kept posting and using AI-generated photos, I gradually started to believe it myself."

A apologized, "I'm truly sorry for spreading malicious rumors about Lee Yikyung. What began as a fan admiration gradually turned into emotional overinvolvement. I feel guilty because what started as fun gradually seemed to become real. If I need to take responsibility, I will. Please understand that my Korean is clumsy since I'm German."

Netizens are now left baffled after the scandal involved accusation, deletion, confession, and now the disappearance of the social media. Although the controversy seems to have to come to an end with A's confession of fabrication, Lee Yikyung's image has already suffered severe damage.

1. [+265][-6] If he doesn't press charges, people will suspect it was settled with money and eventually, crimes like this will increase. He definitely must file a lawsuit.

2. [+218][-26] At first, she admitted the conversations were edited but claimed the chat did happen. Now suddenly, it's AI-generated?ㅋ She was paid off with money.

3. [+166][-6] I wonder what is the truth? This is shady.

4. [+30][-6] How many people will believe this?ㅎㅎ Anyway... What an embarrassing mess.

5. [+23][-3] We've seen how real victims respond, they get extremely angry and immediately sue with no mercy. Now look at what happens??

6. [+14][-3] This is how to understand what's true and what's false:
1. If his agency decides not to pursue it further after A apologizes and deletes her account -> A is telling the truth.
2. If his agency tracks A down even after she apologizes and deletes her account -> A is lying.
