This is 143 Entertainment.
We would like to share our official position regarding the issue reported yesterday on JTBC’s Scandal Supervisor.
First and foremost, we wish to clarify that there was no sexual harassment or any other form of sexual contact involving abuse of power between the mentioned member and the company representative. The reported claims are entirely false.
Additionally, the details concerning the hotel incident also involved the member spending time in the company of acquaintances, and not in the manner suggested by the report.
The broadcasted information was based on statements from individuals unrelated to the member, who provided inaccurate accounts. We want to emphasize once again that the issue is baseless and completely unfounded.
We sincerely apologize for causing concern due to this unexpected and unfortunate matter.

Are you fucking kidding?
"There was no sexual assault or other sexual contact through force."
Are you trying to say this 19yo girl wanted any kind of contact with the CEO of her company, who holds her career in his hands?? Disgusting pigs. Get those girls out of there. https://t.co/SkvSa7u1oZ— ✨ benni ✌🏾✨ (@bennibiased) November 22, 2024
