In November 2024, it was reported that ex-MADEIN‘s Gaeun allegedly faced sexual assault from her company’s CEO. In a damning testimony, it was claimed that the CEO tried to gain sexual favors from her after she tried to leave the group.

I told him that it was my wish to leave the group after the round of activities [we were doing]. He asked that if he granted my wish, would I also grant his wish? He wanted me to be his one-day girlfriend.

He asked if he could kiss me, but then he grabbed me and forced me to kiss him. I kept my mouth shut, but he suddenly forced his tongue in and kept kissing me, he also licked my neck and ears.

I was so focused on protecting [down here] but he said to move my hands and kept touching me.

He asked ‘can I touch your breasts?’ and ‘can I feel your butt just this one time?’

I said no, but he kept doing this for two hours.

— Allegedly Gaeun

Since then, Gaeun has left the group, as the company has continued to deny the sexual assault allegations.  The allegations made towards the CEO also included another member, whom he was accused of “being in love with.”

Fans expressed concerns for the group in the aftermath of the allegations but recently have had another reason for concern involving member Mashiro.

Mashiro recently held a live stream, and viewers noticed that the idol had many bruises that fans say do not have any plausible explanation involving the group’s choreography. After a commenter mentioned a bruise on her arm, Mashiro covered it up with an armband.
