[TRIGGER WARNING] Starship new BG member under fire for r*** + Bullying & MORE.....

Wow that was tough to read.

I've always wondered why idols attempt to debut when they have an awful past that anybody can bring up. It shows you how selfish some idols are.

Gosh that’s a lot of stuff! I hope the truth prevails

Damn, If It's true, this is very serious

That's a lot.

If this is true, then it's not just Starship that should have done a better investigation, but it shows problems in society for letting someone menace others like that, while arents cover it up.

IVE and Sistar did not earn money for this shit

jesus christ-

Ok so... is there any proof of any of this? Or is this a witch hunt like in Garam case?

it's true that proof is needed but isn't this just the default ideology for young korean men

Quote from SooYoung

this guy is so dumb that he even use his old instagram name in a cosmopolitan articles introducing the trainee of Starship

pasted-from-clipboard.png

which is the exact same instagram account that was exposed by his ex schoolmates where he use to post mysoginist story

aha i guess #HEDID

Ew.

Can agencies do a better job of background checking before investing in trainees like this?

But, if it is true that his family paid to hide everything, and that students were scared to come out and expose him without being anonymous, then I guess it is possible that he slipped through the cracks.

If any of this is even remotely true, they should just cut him tbh. ASAP. People complain about HYBE, CUBE, and SM kicking out Garam, Soojin, and Seunghan, but honestly, the success of those groups after those members were removed has kind of proven it is really not worth the risk to keep them.

This dude has already soured my image of this group, and it hasn't even been confirmed if any of this is true.

Quote from SooYoung

it's actually crazy to me that one of your futur idol is facing such bad accusations and Starship isn't making any statement to confirm or clean his image and just let him promote hoping that everybody will move on when even their own fanbase is asking to boycott the group until he's kick out

These accusations are way worse than earlier building accusations, that are sometimes just about two friends having had a verbal argument.

They should say something.

But that's far from all that Garam was accused, multiple people came forward with stories of her throwing flowerpots at their or a fellow student's head, hospitalising them in the process or gang activity, or doing sexual favors for Hybe execs. All of it total BS but Garam having any kind of record for anything at all let people go "well she's guilty of something, so her detractors were in the right and her defenders got nothing to complain about."

Remains to be seen if this is all true or if there is just one thing that makes people brazen enough to throw all this at the wall to force him out.

ah some men are truly disgusting. hopefully the boycott works bc otherwise, wtffff

The arrogance to still try to debut and become an idol..

Oh wow, he sounds simply LOVELY

Let Starship do their investigation, if it’s true he’ll be kicked out.

But at this stage these are anonymous allegations that could be made by one person making multiple anonymous accounts to bring him/the group down. Chats are incredibly easy to fake so I would wait for confirmation.

interesting

why would they even debut a dozen in the first place? is he even the most popular on the show?

Quote from SooYoung

I saw that he was one of the last people trainee in public votr, he got in only because of starship staff

And it seems that most trainee aren't even fan of him

There's video where a group of trainee hug each other and they let him on the side

Other starship artist and other trainee seemed shock that he got in the lineup and looking at the way they were clapping for him compare to how they clapped for the other trainee who got in the lineup, they don't seem fan of him neither

hmmm, sounds fishy tbh

Going to school in Korea must be so hard. Bullying is definitely a full cultural thing in schools. I went through school and college and never experienced Bullying in any way. I just hear stories which aren't as bad as Bullying in Kdramas is.

This is a shame.

Smh stars***

Considering the family covered it up with money, wouldn't doubt that they likely paid starship to get him into the debut lineup.

But don't forget we've also heard from former trainees that companies will actively ask for trainees to admit to stuff so they can cover it up.. Likely starship knew and thought the money the family paid to cover it up would be enough to keep it buried.

Yikes he wasn't even supposed to debut in the group, starship added him as a secret 8th member even though there were more popular trainees because his parents apparently are very rich and influential. If they insist in debuting him, this group is over before debut. Sucks for the other members who worked hard to debut as it will definitely tank the whole group.

Did they not get a protesting permit or did they put in Starship property or is Starship just removing them illegally?

You know what? Fuck this dude and Starships general response to this whole thing, BUT I am ENTIRELY for trashing funeral wreath protests the moment they are placed.

I HATE this form of protest, it's disgusting and absolutely should be treated with the utmost contempt and dismissiveness. Let the dickheads spend their money or funeral wreaths and then immediately trash them.

I do not know. Anyway they are raising funds for another protest:

I wonder why they did not consider a protest truck. I know Wonyoung fans sent truck protests in the past.

nope, literally do not give a fuck what stupid justifications they use.

Funeral wreaths have been used to bully and attempt to terrify idols (and again, this guys a piece of shit, but I'm talking more broad stroke here) and there is a damn good reason people choose funery wreaths for these. That is their symbology with death and dying. IMO they are subtle death threats or death wishes. "We are hoping you die".

Trucks are fine. Other wreaths are fine.

But the symbology with death cannot be ignored. Fuck em, I'd report their paypal ID under it's being used for death threats if I could figure out how.

So...

Interesting...

This story may have been a complete fabrication:

Hello, this is Starship Entertainment.

We would like to provide guidance regarding the departure of cast member Park Junhwan from [Debut’s Plan].

The rumors about Park Junhwan that have recently been spreading online are completely untrue. We have clearly verified, through his full academic records and statements from school officials, that Park Junhwan is a diligent and responsible student. Additionally, we have identified activity from accounts impersonating former classmates in anonymous open chat rooms and online communities, and we have secured objective evidence indicating impersonation.

However, due to baseless rumors, malicious slander, and a flood of harmful comments, Park Junhwan, who is a minor, has been experiencing emotional distress that is too severe for him to endure. The situation has recently deteriorated to the point where it is seriously affecting his daily life.

We have been working with medical professionals to support his psychological recovery, but after Park Junhwan sincerely expressed his desire to step away from group activities, we have decided to respect his wishes and allow him to take sufficient time for rest.

Starship Entertainment will continue to offer full support so that Park Junhwan can recover his health and pursue new dreams beyond being a member of IDID.

Meanwhile, we will take legal action against the original posters and those involved in spreading malicious comments, false information, and s***lly ha**ssing remarks about a minor. This will be based on the Information and Communications Network Act (Articles 44-7, 70, and 74), as well as the Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles from Se***l A**se, among others. Online s***al ha**ssment and defamation of a minor are serious crimes, and we will not tolerate such actions under any circumstances.

We sincerely apologize to the fans for causing concern and promise to do our utmost to protect the rights and honor of our artists.

Although Park Junhwan did not make his debut, we ask for your kind understanding and continued support for his decision and his future path. Please continue to show warm interest and encouragement.

Complete with a written apology from one of the accusers

Letter of Reflection

I sincerely apologize for causing serious harm to Park Junhwan, his family, his agency, and his fans by spreading false rumors about him.

At the time, I irresponsibly spoke of unverified stories circulating online and on social media as if they were facts. I also carelessly used expressions that implied things about Park Junhwan's private life and dreams, severely damaging his honor and image.

Through this incident, I have come to deeply realize how wrong my actions were. I feel a strong sense of responsibility and am truly remorseful for the emotional pain Park Junhwan had to endure, the shock to his family, and the difficulties caused to his agency. I apologize for my thoughtless behavior, which stemmed from a lack of understanding and awareness of the situation.

From now on, I will be more mindful of my actions and words, and I will strive to live with caution and a strong sense of responsibility to ensure this never happens again.

Once again, I deeply reflect on and apologize to Park Junhwan, his family, the agency, and all involved for the great harm caused by my careless and reckless remarks. I will take this incident as a serious life lesson and reflect on it deeply.
