Yan recently appeared on a podcast, where he discussed his relationship with his groupmates, saying they had a dynamic different from what everyone expected. He partially attributed their differences to their different lifestyles, including those between their sexualities.
It was then that he revealed a shocking story from his past.
Yan shared that when the group released their first album, an outsourced worker would play a game called “touching the pompom.” Essentially, when they would get into their van, the man would put his hand inside his pants and touch his genitals.

Touching the pompom meant he would first put his hand inside my pants and touch me, and then everyone else would join in. That’s what happened to me.

He also shared that the other members would also join in, and it was only he who was treated this way. He added that the members likely thought it was a joke, but admitted it would be considered workplace sexual harassment.
Yan said it lasted several months and happened whenever they were in their van, but that he did not report it to the company because it was early in their time as a group.

Yan was previously convicted of filming sex with a minor and sentenced to a seven-month suspended sentence and fines after coming to a settlement with the victim.
