An anonymous Open World Entertainment trainee has opened up about her sexual harassment experience with the company to MBC‘s “Good Day“.

Open World Entertainment Sex Abuse Scandal
=====
The interviewee told “Good Day – Entertainment Plus” about her awful experience as a trainee. She said, “At the audition, the CEO told me to do a seductive dance to him. I thought he wanted to see what kind of talent I had, but it was really weird. We were in a closed room and all. When I was done dancing, he told me to sit down. He made me put my legs on top of his and told me to express what I was feeling at the moment.”
The interviewee also talked about how she was called in for a questionable practicing session at night. She told, “It was around 9pm when the CEO called me in. All the lights were off at the office except in the CEO’s room. I went in there and saw him and another guy who claims to be a really famous agent. I think the agent told me to take my clothes off. When I refused to do so, he said, ‘So many girls throw themselves at me. You are kicking away good fortune here.’ I reacted calmly and he called some other agency where my friend was training at. He told the person on the other side, ‘This girl has no talent. There are so many girls who are willing to throw themselves at me naked.’”
She said she could not deal with such sexual harassment no more, so she left the room in tears. However, the nightmare was not over. She said, “I got out of the room and was waiting for the elevator. Then the CEO came up to me and started touching me, and groped my butt, saying, ‘You think you can be a singer like this?’” This anonymous interviewee added that she gave up on her dreams of becoming a singer because of this incident.
I’m quite certain that sex was next for her if she took off her clothes for him, so I guess she avoided the worst of it.
Perhaps I’m supposed to be surprised, but I’m cynical by nature, and if you look at how the entertainment industry works around the world and then you add the fact that Korea’s a gigantically patriarchal society, this type of stuff is unfortunately almost expected.
It’s not all aegyo and hook songs, folks.
Hmm…kinda surprising…They were in the perfect position to actually rape her…and given what we have heard about him, its surprising he didnt..
I dont think this will hurt his case too much to be honest. It might make people question exactly what went on with the other girls…How was much rape and how much of it was them agreeing to do shit in similar circumstances as this chick.
Its all very interesting. I dont think this will do him any harm though.
Asking a chick to get naked, she says no and then letting her leave…thats acceptable behaviour. Grabbing a chicks ass is nothing.
Cant wait to see how this plays out.
How is it that you almost always are the first comment on every single fucking post on here?
Its a little known fact but I am actually IATFB’s penis.
So it doesnt take long for me to post after he writes an article.
“Asking a chick to get naked, she says no and then letting her leave…that’s acceptable behavior. Grabbing a chicks ass is nothing.”
I can’t imagine the type of regulations you would have if you was a CEO for a talent company lol. Interviewing chicks by examining their breast and shit, the trainees’ practice outfits consist of thongs and neon colored jock straps.
I firmly believe that if you arent willing to suck the dick of your boss, you dont belong in that job. Its that simple.
Sounds like a dream job to me.
I was wondering about that too tbh, why did they even let her leave? And yes I actually agree, this statement won’t do anything to help the case because nothing really happened.
I wonder if they’re gonna release the other victims’ statements soon.
-_-
I wonder if all the other CEOs are stepping their game up, especially scaring their idols shitless if any word of “things” would ever be leaked to the media.
But if I was a trainee for Pledis, Han Sung Soo can do whatever and call me any fucking thing in the book. That man is fine. He don’t even have to force me twice to drop my panties..
Yes.
I wonder what Hyuna’s “training” was like
A little birdy told me that amongst production staff Hyuna’s known as the ‘sweet child prostitute’. She’s been encouraged from a young age to be sexual (starting from her training at JYP obv.).
Remember those rumors that she’d had an abortion? And people kept saying it was with Kikwang and that was the reason they both got kicked out? It can’t be the reason because other artists on that label have had abortions and they continue their careers. Nobody knows the real reason for her departure.
Anyway, Hyuna got sperminated by a manager. She was like 15-16 at the time. The manager was probably in his mid to late twenties if not older.
It’s just a dirty, dirty business.
I love it how you say that as though you know.
WUT? Hyuna’s parents took her out of Wonder Girls/JYP because she had “chronic gastroenteritis and fainting spells” – she had to take a few years to get treatment ; I think an abortion and all these other stories you say seem a tad far-fetched to me.
In all fairness, they do make those things up all the time.
Hahaha.
What?
^
All types of wrong but yeah I’m starting to wonder also. Especially after her vocal teach from the past claims. At age 10 Hyuna was already a lady of seduction.
This CEO is straight up a predator and abuse his power. I’m happy she didn’t go through with the demands and took a stand against him.
Who cares she is no longer a trainee. I wish some of these Korean kids learn the value of self worth and how it can save your life.
Meh….fucking someone to get a leg up the ladder is nothing new. Sex is sex.
Self worth? I wonder how much she earns now compared to the idol career she threw away :o
Haha like most idols are balling. She probably would have been apart of flop group #742741387584581 anyway. I mean most people weren’t even aware of this company or its groups until the scandal.
Theyre better off than their peers, by quite a large margin.
Its also obviously something they love…So she gave up the money and the fame and her dream…
Just cos she wouldnt suck off some dude…something she probably does at the club every weekend anyway :o
^ Nah. Not really, idols don’t even earn that much unless they’re really popular. I remember Dal Shabet’s Subin saying she made more money when she was a model than what she makes now. Plus it’s not a big company and their talents are pretty much flops.
You’re acting as if using sexual favors in exchange for an idol career is okay. Just because it’s happening doesn’t make it okay.
You are wrong. Im sorry but compared to their peers, they earn a lot of money. The average 20 year old korean girl earns a pittance.
Im just saying its not as terrible as people make out.
Exactly. Idols get paid shit. They also have really short careers with nothing to fall back on. So yeah they might be making more now than the average 20 yo Korean, but that non idol 20 yo gets the chance to better themselves, get a stable job with more years of income earning, so in the end they win.
Meow, you arent really putting this in the context of korean culture. Youre acting as though korean girls have careers and stuff.
its a slippery slope once you start fucking to get a heads up in the industry.
Some are just more ambitious, and dont care about what they are doing. Some do it in the heat of the moment and then later on look back at it and contemplate on why they did it.
Im not a cynical person but as IATFB said, its pretty much expected in the entertainment industry no matter where its at.
This too.
Then they get a reputation, essentially become prostitutes and can’t get work without sex, and some kill themselves.
Can’t say it’s not that big of a deal at that point.
I’d say you have little self-respect if you prostitute yourself. Dunno.
I really don’t care that this is supposed to be the “norm” in the entertainment business, no matter where you are. It’s sick and disgusting.
The only thing separating people like this penisface and the child molesters behind bars is that this particular penisface happens to have money. Money doesn’t make him any less of a predator. The most sickening thing is that the line between rape and coercion is a very, very thin one. And because of that, people like him can get away with it.
I hope they lock this asshole up in a mental asylum.
Of course it is.
Just saying that’s how the world is.
It is fortunate that this girl wasn’t raped and/or felt pressure to have sex (though unfortunately others have) I don’t really have much to say… just gonna wait for whatever else comes out…
Sick freaks over there and around the world. I just feel bad for the ones in korea because parents just willingly let their kids go to these companies not knowing what could possibly be happening. Luckily for this girl she didnt get the worst end of it.
Yes! Damn those sick freaks. How dare they want to have easy sex with hot chicks…DAMN THEM TO HELL!!!!
Trolling, right?
That’s like saying it’s okay for a teacher to ask his student to have sex.
It’s the power dynamic that’s the problem.
Nobody would care if he approached some random hottie on the street.
Well I guess to expand, its more that i dont have a problem with someone doing it to get something they want…Whereas if it was something they need, id have issues with it..
a college professor asking a girl in his class to bang..thats out of order because her grades, degree and future all depend on it.
going for a job that is more of an ego boost/attention whore thing than an actual living…well i have less problem with that :o
another example..
if a homeless chick comes up to me on the street and asks me for some money for a meal…id be out of order to say ‘only if you suck my dick’ etc..
but if the same chick were not homeless and she came up to me and asked me for a handbang, id be fine with telling her to suck my dick…
if that makes any sense :o
nana-ate-nana-i didn’t understand anything that you write..
Thats ok. Just post pics of yourself and we can call it even.
but i don’t want to get anything from you yet..
How is that applicable?
They aren’t asking them on the street. They think they are applying for a job.
It’s like saying that if you’re a professor, it’s okay to ask prospective teacher assistants for sex.
because its not a job they NEED to survive..its something luxurious, its a dream..its an attention whore thing.
By that logic, you don’t need to be a professor either.
Wouldn’t feel too bad for the parents.
Some of them would send their kids even if they knew.
Disgusting. And it ended like that? Him touching her butt? what happened later? “then she left the elevator and run away to her home” something like that. I think I know why you said in other article that you hated korean journalism, it is annoying some times. I don’t know what you people are talking about when you say this is nothing. This is illegal in my country, is it not in South Korea? And I don’t believe the guys who were actually idols didn’t know about this.. they even confirmed that some of them took part in this. That’s disgusting as well, all of them knowing what the guy was doing and ignoring it just to keep being an idol. I think I remember The Boss saying the ceo had a daughter in one of their videos.. it’s all so horrible. I was a fan of The Boss for a while. This is… I can’t believe it, you just never know idols. They looked like good people.
It’s illegal in a lot of countries (sexual harassment), as well as Korea and if that girl was a minor (I dunno) it’s even more illegal but people find ways to get around the law. I feel as though at least in the US if a girl screams rape she gets heard… if it’s in Korea, I dunno… But it’ll take more people to speak out about something like this so the view of it can change (like the article says, it’s very patriarchal)
Theres nothing to suggest she was a minor.
If the girl didnt go to the police and there was no evidence then its gonna be hard for the police to ever do anything.
Im pretty sure its not illegal to put your hand on a girls ass in korea…and nor should it be.
As for the US, and the west in general. They are on the verge of going too far the other way. So many stories these days of girls regretting having sex with a guy and then shouting rape and him going straight to prison…
I only said “IF” that girl was a minor. There’s nothing suggesting she wasn’t either. I’m only taking in account that both could be possible. No one is saying she is.
Maybe in a moral whatever sense people don’t think of much as people touching anyone and maybe the word illegal is a stretch for me to say, but I’m certain there’s laws that have consequences for touching someone who didn’t willingly want it (being enforced is a different issue.. as well as people speaking out against it.) I think people would be surprised how many laws there are out there we dunno about simply because they’re not enforced that much.
Just as there’s many stories of girls falsely accusing guys of rape, there’s just as many girls (and guys too) getting raped and screaming it out. I’m pretty sure many girls in Korea try to falsely accuse guys of rape too but I can’t speak too much on their behalf since I don’t read up on that particular issues so… I will keep it as that. I’m not gonna pretend like I’m an expert on something that I have limited knowledge on.
The fact that it wasnt mentioned in the article or on the show prove that she wasnt a minor when it happened. It would definitely have been mentioned if she were.
The problem with stuff like butt grabbing being illegal is proving intent etc. Its not always sexual.
If this girl had gone to the police and said this CEO grabbed my ass as i was leaving. He could quite easily say, it wasnt sexual, i was just giving her a friendly pat to try and cheer her up as she failed her interview with us….
Sure but innocent people going to prison for things they didnt do is worse than someone getting away with something they did do.
You don’t think groping should be illegal? :o
If its proven to be sexually motivated groping then yes it classes as assault. but there are many non sexual ass contact situations that are not..
In that context, how is that groping not sexual?
Im saying its difficult to prove…if it went to court, he could quite easily claim he was patting her ass as commiseration for failing the interview and it wouldnt be that outrageous :o
There’s always a lot things that are illegal, but it doesn’t mean they all are enforced strictly. There’s loopholes to shit that we can’t imagine how these bastards can get themselves out of sometimes.
Getting ass off the streets in my country is illegal, but while in Phuket you can get coochie with a side order of man’s butt for a low price. If you’re lucky, you get all of that from the same person if you get my drift.
Pretty sure it’s illegal everywhere, but the amount of care society has for it varies greatly.
Hint: nobody in Asia cares.
and at the end of the day, its just an ass grab…
Imagine all the stds rolling around the industry. Eek.
I’d only fuck the guy if he was hot and could do something for me. Or if he wasn’t hot, he better be damn powerful. Forget OWE, I’d be setting my aims on people in YGE.
Ikr? Dude better be fine or packing in the bank. I’d be working my tricks with SME. I don’t do eye contact though, ugh, looking at those mouth breathers up close is like a view of hell itself.
nana-ate-my-nana, you are one sick individual.
