This is the translation of a letter or distress of a kpop idol, please read .
Disclamer: This is NOT a joke. Recently we lost Jonghyun, please take it as a reminder that kpop has dark sides, and we can’t just blindly enjoy their music without aknowledging the humans, the artists behind them. Please SHARE, make it known, until it has made enough noise to start a police investigation.
Since it was asked, I’ll try to find back the articles talking about this, i’ll put the link as soon as i’ll find them, here’s the first one : HERE
‘’Hello, I’m an idol who’s currently active in the entertainment industry.
First, I want to write why I’m writing this, no… why I had to write it. If this post gets circulated around social media and news reports start writing about it, I’m so certain that my company and my identity will be revealed.
I don’t care if my identity is revealed… I simply hope that people will listen and understand the story that I’m about to write.
I still remember the day, a week before our music video shoot.
Our company’s CEO called the members into a regular bar, even though we had underaged minors in the group (three including me). The owner didn’t bother checking our IDs but instead directed us to the room that our CEO and four other men who we never saw before were sitting.
The CEO introduced them as people who greatly helped us to debut, so we thanked them without any suspicion. But all of a sudden, one of the men pointed at one of our members and told her to pour his drink, saying that alcohol tasted better when it’s poured by a woman.
Thinking back on it now, it was weird, but all we could think about at the time was that we were a team getting ready to debut and everything could fall apart if something went wrong.
So we poured their drinks. (All of the men were in the mid to late 40s.)”
“As they were drinking, our CEO turned to the man who looked to have the most power and asked which member caught his eye the most. The man picked out the prettiest member. We took it as a friendly gesture and she even thanked him.
The man started complimenting the visual member, “VM”, and how she was going to stand out in broadcasts, that she was a goddess. Then suddenly, he began boasting on how much influence he has in the entertainment industry and how he knew a lot of inside information. He told her that the bar was too loud, so he wanted her to go somewhere quiet with him to talk more about it.
“VM” began to feel scared as we all signaled for her to not follow him. She kindly thanked him and turned his offer down.
The man suddenly got angry as he started blaming “VM” for not having the correct mindset of someone preparing to debut. Our CEO signaled “VM” to leave with the man. We felt that something was terribly wrong, but “VM” told us that she’ll be fine and left with the man, seemingly to a nearby coffee shop.”
After a couple of hours, our CEO told the rest of us to leave and we headed toward the practice rooms. But we felt drunk from the alcohol that the men poured us, so we went back to our dorm to sleep. (We arrived home around 3am, and “VM” left the bar around 1am.)
We were scheduled to wake up at 6am the next day, eat breakfast, and head over to our vocal lesson. When we woke up, “VM” still wasn’t home and we didn’t have cellphones back then so our manager unnie called the label. The label told her to just send the remaining members to practice.
We were all worried about the odd situation, but our manager took us to our lesson and told us that she’ll return with “VM”. We couldn’t focus on our lessons, but “VM” eventually returned. We all cried as we asked about what happened the night before.
Time passed and we debuted (nothing happened in between so I’m skipping through), and we completed our first promotions with decent success. We started getting fans and our lives got busier, when our CEO visited us again.
He congratulated us on exceeding the companies expectations and to continue working harder. We thanked him, as we vowed to work harder. He said he had something else to talk to “VM” about and called her outside. When she returned, she said that the man told our CEO…”
I’m sorry I deleted it. I’m the same celebrity.
I was almost caught so I deleted it…
I’m scared that they’ll become suspicious if I continue to write more. I’m writing in the bathroom with the water turned on. I’ll upload what I’ve captured so far. I’m so scared. Please help me…”
