Victim A's lawyer gives interview about their meeting with Cube regarding Soojin's alleged bullying rumors

At this point, the optics have already set in.

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Gidle or a Soojin fanboy, but its amazing how just a month ago they had their strongest comeback and now they may lose a central member.

I don't want to defend her, but you can check facts without the assailant there. Stuff like "were you actually in X place at X time that you're making claims about", "do others who were there support your claims", that sort of thing. I work in a law firm, we do this stuff routinely and it doesn't require the parties to the claims. Presumably Cube has access to their own artist, so they can ask her anything they want at another time. It's probably better for the victim that she wasn't there, so that the victim could feel freer to tell their story. They don't need her there for an interview like this, and it's probably less intimidating to the victim if she isn't there, because her presence could inspire silence.

Her being away was appropriate, and if the company's law firm is indeed checking facts, they can reach her when needed. Don't criticize the people doing their jobs correctly just because you don't understand how those jobs work.

I don't understand Cube wanting to meet with the alleged victims in person without Soojin - if they just want to "hear the facts" can't that be done legal team to legal team and if they are planning to pursue legal action, can't that also be done legal team to legal team... if Soojin is not there, what's the point of the victims being there either.

I hate calling her "victim A" and not just A lol. She's not the victim, she's been speaking for her sister this entire time. Neither Soojin nor the alleged victim was there, so I'm not sure why anyone would have expected progress from this.

We did learn Cube will contact other victims and that "the truth may be different from remembered" statement from A's lawyers but that's it.

I'd agree but the victim wasn't there either. Just the two legal teams and A, who's actually the alleged victim's sister.

Cube is a joke

Quote from Sweet-Spice

I could also see this reasoning too.

I imagine an in person meeting between her and Soojin will still happen one way or another at some point. Just not for this first meeting.

Respectfully, not necessarily. The more likely resolution is a settlement check to bullying victim, and no contact between them. That's how we'd handle it if it was a client of the firm I work at. Least trauma for everyone (the victim gets compensation and doesn't have to go through the ordeal of meeting her previous bully because then you're courting further therapy, the bully who is wealthy anyway just gives up money and doesn't have to do the whole mea culpa routine which they may or may not actually mean). I don't know about Korea, there are some cultural differences that mean they may actually meet, but if it was a client of my firm, we'd keep them as far apart as possible. Plus, if you do a meet-up, fans may want to see it, and then you have the whole headache of how to do a respectful video meet that makes your idol look good when one party strongly dislikes the other. Nope. Just nope right out of that situation. Keep them as far apart as possible, and negotiate the resolution through legal counsels, which is easier on everyone. This is literally one of the reasons lawyers exist, to create space between people when it's sometimes needed.

Statement when?

this just gets worse ans worse lol

tide might turn if more ex schoolmates come out and support soojin. And, the focus has partly shifted to mingyu (not that Im happy about it though cause that could turn very badly for him)

can cube just cease to exist please they're so dumb and handling this so stupid

... on this day, lawyer Choo Sae-Ah revealed "I wanted to hear the story from the company and confirm/check the facts." "The company also said that they were trying to overcome the situation, but we did not end up resolving misunderstandings nor did we receive an apology on that day (T/n: on the day they all met).”

I truly think it's a regular situation. Lawyers should know absolutely everything about their clients, if only they want to achieve the goal, which is a win in the lawsuit. Law firms like this one ( link: https://federal-lawyer.com/cal…/anaheim-federal-defense/ ), can always help their potential clients to understand what actions they should do during a lawsuit in the court.
