Minah joined ILUV in November 2019 and promoted the track “Open the Door” earlier than leaving the institution. She recently came forward to accuse her fellow ILUV contributors of harassing her, consisting of hitting her, forcing her to take off her garments, blowing cigarette smoke in her face, and more. She also said that she is laid low with depression, panic sickness, and insomnia due to the members’ actions and stated that she recently made an try to take her own existence.

Later, the problem become covered on SBS’s “E-information Exclusive.” WKS ENE stated that they had evidence inside the form of screenshots of KakaoTalk conversations, and Minah replied to each piece of evidence with her personal side of the story. On the display, a source from the corporation denied all Minah’s claims, even as Minah’s legal professional said that she had proof to show harassment if the case went to courtroom.
On July 23, WKS ENE launched an professional announcement about the issue.
"Hello, this is ILUV’s organisation, WKS ENE. We are releasing an legitimate declaration approximately the problem of former ILUV member Minah, which became covered on the July 22 broadcast of SBS’s “E-News Exclusive.”
All of Minah’s claims, which might be presently circulating on YouTube and social media, are false. The former six contributors of ILUV have received a critical surprise that has affected their physical and intellectual health to the point of vomiting. We intend to document a civil suit in opposition to Minah.
None of what Shin Minah has said is actual. The enterprise, the participants, and their families are deeply disenchanted at this injustice. Because of one person’s fake statements, many humans are suffering and being hurt. The employer notion of Minah as family, so we deliberate not to respond in an effort to keep this situation from getting out of hand.
It was due to the fact we have been concerned that she might make a terrible decision once more if her real self had been found out through our reaction. But she stored sharing her posts, and those posts unfold in the course of Korea and overseas, and we have become the goal of unspeakably abusive language because of misunderstandings. The former ILUV members have been having a tough time, and the quickly-to-be BOTOPASS participants were also experiencing intense strain and nausea, and we decided that we had to problem a response.
Currently, we have acquired the typical certification of contents to cancel her settlement from Shin Minah, but the agreement has not yet been terminated. She is sharing her story via DMs (direct messages) along with her enthusiasts, and people fanatics are spreading the story on social media. The organisation has said that her tales are false, however she keeps to make her claims through the use of fan letters as evidence of bullying.
According to the participants’ memories, the members observed out approximately Minah’s insomnia after she instructed Sooyeon that she was affected by it at the end of November and the start of December. In mid-December, Minah’s father requested that she trip from home instead of the dorm because of her extreme atopy and a childhood trauma in which a thief robbed her domestic.
The following is our response to Minah’s claims about harassment.
She stated that she turned into at once stressed by using the other six individuals, but that is a long way from the fact. There have been no participants that were on terrible phrases with Minah, and the members took care of her and had been respectful of her. This is a stunning and painful component to mention, and as an business enterprise, we cannot forgive spreading a tale like this.
She also stated something absurd approximately the youngest member, who was in her young adults. In a communication she had with her fans in DMs, she stated that the member in query drank regularly, slept with men extra than ten years older, and went to nightclubs. There turned into handiest one member more youthful than Minah in the team and she became a minor. Now she is being handled as an immoral man or woman, even though she is best 19 (Korean age) and no longer but a legal person.
Gahyun (the member in query) said, “I become the best individual in the crew who turned into younger than Minah. I’m a minor and I can’t visit nightclubs. I really did not visit those places. I don’t know how she should unfold the ones stories through Twitter and DMs with enthusiasts. My younger sibling heard what she said from some other place, and I’m scared that people will recognize me as that type of individual. It’s so hard and I want to die.”
This is not pretty much the youngest member. All of the members are being painted as a gang of immoral humans. Claims of sexual harassment? Claims that the individuals compelled her to observe motion pictures of sexual intercourse? We are livid about those claims. This did not show up. Minah had said that she had in no way dated and often expressed envy of the contributors who had boyfriends. She requested the members numerous questions on dating and the relationship among women and men.
There changed into in no way incidents in which she changed into pressured to observe movies of sexual encounters or had her clothes taken off. In fact, Minah became the type to have interaction inside the form of teasing in which you touch and pinch the opposite character’s sensitive regions. She could often touch the alternative participants’ rears, and put her personal rear on different humans’s arms whilst posing for pictures. Some individuals advised her truely that they did no longer want her to try this, however there were also participants who positioned up with it in order no longer to hurt her emotions. The participants did no longer sexually harass Minah, however as a substitute placed up with her very own embarrassing behavior.
Minah has made it appear to be she observed all of the rules even as the other individuals went out as they thrilled and did whatever they wanted. The organisation gave the individuals loose time when their schooling time turned into over. The organization was conscious that the individuals, which include Minah, might once in a while exit without permission. However, the existence of a trainee is hard and frustrating, so it turned into some thing we turned a blind eye to. It become now not a common incidence like Minah said. The individuals are in a severe kingdom right now because they have been made into not handiest the culprits of bullying, but additionally painted as individuals who interact in verbal abuse, sexual harassment, immoderate drinking, staying out all night time, and harassing their colleagues.
The following is set the fan letters that have been offered as proof of harassment. Minah said that she had determined fan letters despatched with the aid of ILUV enthusiasts within the trash, suggesting that the participants regarded down on their fanatics. This isn't always true. On January eight, the employer added the primary fan letters to the members. Minah turned into on a ruin starting January 6, so the members expressed their gratitude through pictures and movies with out her so as now not to be late in acknowledging the fanatics.
We can nevertheless vividly do not forget the ILUV individuals’ happiness at receiving the fan letters. The fan letters in query had been no longer immediately addressed to Minah, however to the team in general, so the members mentioned who might get to keep them. The letters had been positioned up on the wall of the room that Minah and Cui Xiang shared. The individuals all knew approximately this. They had been not very well-known at the time, so that they didn’t get many fan letters, however they valuable those they received with gratitude.
It is clearly fake that she picked them up from the trash. Minah arrived on the dorm on January 12 to select up her bags. The cleansing female empties the rubbish every day, so if they had been tossed within the trash, they might have been gone before she arrived. Since they have been pasted at the wall earlier than they vanished, it became assumed that Minah had taken them at the day she got here at the dorm. The contributors are grateful for the love of their enthusiasts, and treasure their letters. The fan letters that Minah submitted as evidence have been the primary letters that arrived for the crew from a fan known as Yoshiteru. He is a fan who sends every of the ILUV participants fan letters on their birthday. The ILUV participants are grateful to him and treasure the letters he sent them.
We have released this announcement in an effort to prevent our artists’ popularity from defamation through Minah’s accusations. On this same day, we acquired a message that appeared to mock the agency. We will correct the elements that aren't real. After claiming she was stressed through the opposite six contributors, she modified her statement to say that she had now not noted Sooyeon. When the agency set the time table for the second one half of of the yr, we asked her to take part in an interview for the chance to debut inside the new undertaking BOTOPASS. She said that she wanted to rest until the autumn due to the fact she didn’t experience nicely, and we allowed her to paintings as a YouTuber as she desired.
However, we prohibited her from using official content related to the enterprise or about the individuals. She has claimed that we contacted her to hold the whole thing personal, but that became approximately the termination of her contract. The confidentiality agreement was a written oath that is a part of the conditions for canceling a contract below the usual cultural artist contract. (This is a piece of writing that was protected when the settlement turned into initially signed.) It is an average approach for defensive the corporation artists and the enterprise’s commercial enterprise interests. It changed into not designed to hide the reality. The written oath, which changed into given as a part of the circumstance for canceling the contract without penalty or other provisions, was invoked after Minah posted her false stories about harassment in order to protect the ILUV members and their personal facts. We can not apprehend her conduct in riling up the loads through claiming that someone referred to as her to invite her to preserve her secrets.
In a second, the contributors have emerge as categorized as bullies, a 19-yr-old minor has been categorised as an immoral person, and the trainees who've been searching out a new direction after being eliminated from auditions have had their feet tied before they could make a new start. The participants who surpassed their auditions fairly have also been deeply hurt with the aid of these testimonies before they may make their debut on August 4. They are suffering from intellectual shock, insomnia, or even nausea.
This is a difficult situation for the agency staff and the participants and the contributors’ households. We can't undergo this situation any further. We ask that Shin Minah acknowledge that her tales are not proper and trouble a honest apology to the agency, the contributors, their households, and their lovers, and return the whole thing to everyday."
In an interview with OSEN, a supply from WKS ENE stated that they planned to document the lawsuit either these days or on July 24.
OSEN asked Shin Minah for a response, and she said, “I am dumbfounded. I became also considering criminal movement, so this hasn’t changed my mind at all, however I’m simply dumbfounded.” Her legal professional, Kim Ho In, stated, “Our role on responding to something felony action is probably taken has no longer changed. Shin Minah has proof of conflict with the individuals as well as the organisation’s negligence. The contract became terminated due to the fact the corporation violated its responsibilities. We didn’t ask for his or her agreement. At first, the enterprise agreed to terminate the agreement without penalties, but cautioned a written oath to hold confidential about the situations of the termination as a substitute. Shin Minah did now not agree to that circumstance. She stated that she might no longer terminate the settlement underneath those situations.”
