The following is the full text of the breaking news article
Hello everyone, I used to be a bean trainee and plucked up the courage to write this article today.
The reason why I wrote such a long article is because I still remember the atrocities I suffered in the past, although it has been 6 years, but as long as I think about that day, the tears can't stop flowing.
Although I am still scared, I hope that there will be no second or third victims, so I have decided to write this article for the purpose of public welfare.
I worked as a trainee in an entertainment company founded by A, a member of the first generation idol group, as a representative.
This idol group is one of the most popular idol groups in the Republic of Korea, and still has many fans, and A is also a member of the group who has a high popularity.
My goal was to survive to the end in an entertainment planning company where trainees came and went, and then debut. To that end, I gave up my mundane 20s life and focused only on practice.
But the unexpected shattered my dreams.
On February 18, 2016, Representative A summoned the producer of the company that usually produces music with me to the representative room.
At that time, the A representative explained the direction of the music we wanted to do, and most of these themes were popular music from the 70s to the 90s. We listened to the music together and sang to the rhythm, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Representative A said to us, "We have to sing such a song to be famous," "We have to make such a song, we have to sing such a song," and then asked if we would like to do it.
In order not to hurt the self-esteem of the A representative, the producer gave a positive answer, but also carefully proposed: "The music is a bit old-fashioned, and recently people prefer the style of young girls." ”
In this regard, Representative A asked me: "Do you feel the same way" and "Is this song not good?"
I replied, "I think the same thing, because I've never been exposed to music like this, so it's hard to sing along," "Because it's a bit old, I don't know if people will like it lately."
After I answered, Representative A became angry: "Ah, **stupid*, you dog** is very stubborn", "you ***, still outdated ***." "Then he started beating me and inflicting violence on me.
While I was still in a trance, he hit me 4 times on the right cheek and 2 times on the left cheek, and in that instant I was beaten. The A representative probably did not lose his temper, and said: "** take off the hat", semi-mandatory let me take off the hat, and then hit the top of my head twice with my fist.
Because it happened instantaneously, I was very confused and panicked, and I couldn't say anything. The producer who saw this scene quickly took me away.
Although it has been 6 years since the incident, I still remember it vividly, very aggrieved and angry, but also very afraid.
Although I wanted to run away immediately, I was still struggling with whether it was my fault, and I was afraid that if I left, I would violate the contract, so I still went to the company the day after I was beaten.
The next day, Representative A called me alone, and I thought I was apologizing to me, but Representative A just explained why he hit me.
Representative A said: "Honestly my sudden stone was thrown, who can not be angry", "it is you who provided the reason (I did), honestly I was hit by the stone you threw, not angry to blame", putting the responsibility on me.
This dealt me a bigger blow to me, who thought I would receive an apology, and it scared me even more than the day I was beaten by A.
Probably because I was afraid, I didn't have any ideas at the time, and I didn't dare to tell my friend, let alone sue him.
Although I wanted to leave immediately, for me, who was still a trainee, there was no other choice. I was worried that my contract with the company would be adversely affected, so I also learned about the termination of the contract at that time.
I burst into tears at the thought of meeting representative A, so I finally gave up my dream of aiding beans and terminated my contract with the company. Under the unbearable impact, I gave up everything and chose to enlist.
For the past 6 years, although I have been suffering from the memory of that day, I am too afraid of the A representative, so I can't do anything.
Today, 6 years later, I wrote this article. Because I think that if I have been suffering this pain alone, then there will be a second and third victim. I don't want anything, I just want a sincere apology from representative A. And I hope that other trainees besides me will not give up their dreams because of such things.
The above is all things I have personally experienced, and if there is a lie, I will be held responsible.
Thank you all for reading.
Because of the certification requirements, I uploaded a group photo taken in the company's practice room at that time.

The above silhouettes are all news pictures and do not have any directivity
Unlike the support expected by the netizens who broke the news, under the relevant exposing articles, many netizens are condemning him for not breaking the real name.
This part of the netizens said: "In order not to let innocent people be scolded, please directly disclose the real name!" Anyway, don't you just write articles to make things public", "No, people who write exposé articles don't like to say their real names directly." If other innocent people are ruined by this, are you responsible", "While saying that you hope that there will be no other victims, but because you do not reveal your real name, innocent victims have already appeared", "You say this and hope to get an apology Who will apologize!" You have to contact the company to explain the facts"...
Of course, some netizens believe that there is a reason why netizens who break the news do not directly write down their real names, because if they directly explode their real names, they may be sued for reputational damage: "Those who let the whistleblowers disclose their real names are really selfish, what if the whistleblower is sued?" Have you ever thought about it", "If you break your real name, 100% will be prosecuted, you don't want to oppress the victims here, journalists will find out who it is"...
There are also some netizens who think of their favorite love beans because of the news: "Alas, what kind of life will my favorite love beans live", "The representatives of the brokerage company are very crazy, where are the trainees counted as people", "He himself was also a popular idol before, and he was also a trainee, and he will compare his heart to his heart"...
For the breaking news incident itself, Li Zhenhao, a Youtuber who was born as an entertainer yesterday, said through YouTube: "What he broke the news is the truth", "There is no trace of counterfeiting in the photos of the practice room, and the relevant practice room has also been public in a variety show in the past."
Lee Jin-ho revealed: "In the past, those who broke the news advocated that what 'popular idol groups' were all watery, but this time the A representative is really a top idol group, one of the best idol groups in the Republic of Korea, and a very popular group." ”
Good fellow, then this is really eating the top stream melon!
Originally, when I read the exposé article, I also thought about whether there would be exaggerated elements... If it is really a generation of top streams, plus having been a representative of entertainment companies, then the search scope is really quite small, and it is only a matter of time before who is pulled out.
Therefore, the A representative who saw the revelation quickly came out and apologized! Now that the news page has been on a lot, it really can't be covered up
