The wife of a boy group member has accused a company official of sexual harassment.
On November 3rd, a lengthy statement was posted on social media by Yoo Seung Eun, the wife of Glen Check member Kim June One.
She began, “I want to speak about something I personally experienced, which is one of the many reasons Glen Check has not been able to carry out normal activities for over a year.”
Yoo Seung Eun claimed, “For about a year, we have raised several issues, including sexual harassment, with the company. One of them was a request for an apology regarding the sexual harassment remarks made twice by a division director at EMA.”
She added, “At that time, some current and former employees were aware of the situation, and we trusted their promise to ensure an apology would be made. After it remained unresolved, we formally requested an apology with a certified letter. I have volunteered for over three years supporting Glen Check in visual directing, design, slogans, and merchandise production, and have directly collaborated with company employees.”
Yoo Seung Eun said, “The company’s response was shocking. They excluded me from work and, in the documents related to the sexual harassment issue, there were screenshots not only of my bikini photos and selfies but also sexually explicit comments from unknown accounts.”
She went on, “It felt as if they implied I should tolerate those remarks because I was someone who typically exposed my body.”
She continued, “I was deeply shocked and began treatment with a psychiatrist. To this day, I am struggling and relying on medication.”
Yoo Seung Eun also stated, “I do not want to bring anyone down. I just want those responsible to acknowledge their mistakes and sincerely apologize where an apology is due,” explaining the reason for her revelation.
