Update on the Issue Regarding SEVENTEEN Member MINGYU

Hello.

This is PLEDIS Entertainment.

We would like to provide some additional information regarding an online post pertaining to when Mingyu, a member of SEVENTEEN was a student.

PLEDIS Entertainment had many conversations with the writer of the online post, which contained experiences at the after school class that the poster attended with the artist and ascertained additional facts of the issue. After going through this process, the artist and the poster agreed to resolve the misunderstandings and put the issue to rest.

The writer of the online post experienced a series of personal events unrelated to the artist while attending middle school and uploaded the post to make them known to the public. The post also included what happened during the after school classes at the time.

The artist said he did joke around with his male classmates at the after school class, but never bullied nor tried to embarrass any specific student. He did however, offer his sincere apologies if the poster, in any way, felt uncomfortable or suffered due to his actions.

The poster accepted the artist’s apology and insisted that the poster did not want the issue to lead to the suspension of the artist’s activity or the artist leaving the group from the very first conversation held with PLEDIS Entertainment.

We have shared this statement with the poster in advance and the poster confirmed and agreed to the release of the statement. We sincerely hope that the writer of the post does not experience further harm due to any disputes--big or small--over the issue.

We have contacted everyone involved in the post who could be identified and brought the conversation to a close. We are also currently looking into other matters which involve parties that are difficult to identify. We will provide an update with a separate notice on this issue at a later date.

I don't know whether Mingyu is truly at fault but it's good he apologized.

You know I feel a little annoyed that OP1 made something so small such a big issue, when Mingyu wasn’t even the cause of her problems or the reason why she went for therapy. Yes, I get it’s valid for her to bring up jokes in her therapy that may have made her uncomfortable, but why bring it up online after so many years to bring down a person who wasn’t even part of her problems or the cause. She herself said, she doesn’t even remember him being part of the problems, but she still framed him such a light where it could’ve actually destroyed his career (and 12 other individuals career). She was so quick to defend herself against OP2, but didn’t bother clearing the misconceptions against Mingyu. My mind keeps tracing back to what OP2 said, that OP1 likes receiving attention, of course I can’t 100% be firm on this, but it really gives me this idea with the way she handled and escalated a silly situation. This shouldn’t have been brought up in my opinion, because if he wasn’t the cause of her problems or therapy then I don’t see the point of her posting all that online and creating an issue that was never related to Mingyu.

He was never the cause of OP1’s problems or trauma or the reason why she was receiving therapy (she said this herself), she just said his jokes made her uncomfortable.
