DJ MAXIMITE, the famous producer behind Produce 101 Season 1‘s “PICK ME”, was arrested by the police on charges for assaulting his girlfriend and stealing her money. Back on October 1, 2017, MAXIMITE was arrested for repeatedly beating his girlfriend at their house in Gangnam. He reportedly beat and threatened her to give him 90 million won (~$83,000 USD).
Upon investigation, MAXIMITE was revealed to have kicked his girlfriend’s chest multiple times after she asked him pay her back. He stole the money from her under the pretext of paying off penalty fees to his label, paying for an acquaintance’s attorney fees, and the lease to his car.
