MADEIN's agency officially announced Gaeun's departure.
On November 22, JTBC's “Crime Chief” broadcast a report on a member of a new girl group who was allegedly sexually assaulted by the CEO of her agency. The show did not name the group or agency in question, but viewers noticed that the show aired a blurry video of one of MADEIN's performances on a music show. The group description also matched MADEIN, who debuted last September as a group under 143 Entertainment.
Additionally, 143 Entertainment recently announced that MADEIN member Gaeun would be taking a temporary break from activities due to his health, which naturally fueled speculation that Gaeun was the girl group member in question. Another notable point. Gaeun was born in 2005 and just celebrated her 19th birthday earlier this month.
A few days ago, the agency denied the accusations against the CEO and refuted the allegations.
MADEIN's agency denies that the CEO sexually assaulted a member of the group
This November 29, the agency tells us that Gaeun is leaving MADEIN, and the agency reiterates its statements to protect its CEO and proclaim his innocence.
143 Entertainment states:
“Hello, this is 143 Entertainment.
We would like to inform you of MADEIN's future activities.
MADEIN member Gaeun has officially left the group as of today.
Since her debut last September, Gaeun has put considerable effort into MADEIN's activities, but due to personal circumstances, she found it increasingly difficult to continue the group's activities, and it was decided that she would leave the group.
From now on, MADEIN will continue with six members: Mashiro, MiU, Suhye, Yeseo, Serina and Nagomi. All temporarily interrupted programs will be carried out again as planned.
Additionally, we would like to clarify that the recent allegations of sexual harassment are not true and that we have several clear pieces of evidence proving these allegations to be false. Therefore, if any legal issues arise, we will handle them with the utmost sincerity and ensure that no doubts remain.
We deeply apologize for announcing such heavy news to fans.
We ask that you continue to provide your warm support and encouragement to Gaeun and MADEIN.
Merci. »
