[TRIGGER WARNING] Topp Dogg’s Park Hyunho’s Shocking Confession: “I was bullied by the members and tried to jump off the window”

[Anii]

TW//Suicide, Bullying

Quote

Park Hyunho shares, “When I was promoting as Topp Dogg, I thought my whole dream came true. But I don’t think that the members always got along. I used to think that if someone comes under the spotlight for the team, even if it isn’t me, it was good enough. That sparked some issues and that I think started the so-called ‘bully.'”

Despite all the difficulties, Seogoong tried to make peace in the fact that he got to perform on stage, but he had to leave when the rest of the members raised their hands to the question, “Who here wants Seogoong to leave the team?” He explained, “As for the decision of my leave was made when everyone brutally voted, including myself, to the question ‘Raise your hand if you want him out.’ I think that was the absolute worst moment of my life.”

Park added, “When I moved out my stuff from the dorm and came home, my father started yelling at me that this all happened because of your personality. My mind was already crushed, and when I heard him say that, I really was going to jump out the window. But my dad stopped me, and that’s all I can remember. But my father grabbed on to me to the point where my clothes were ripped.

Edit: It's really sad that he had to go through so much. He's currently appearing on KBS's Trot National Sports Festival, so please support him.

some groups will never make it and we can see why

[lighterxx]

im sad for him, i truly am.

[Guest]

how can you be so inhumane...? it's as if those members had no conscience honestly

oh and for the title, it would maybe be good if you put trigger warnings? I mean bullying and suicide attempts can be triggering for some people so it would be good if you put a warning

[trilobite]

what the hell. it's bad enough that the members were bullying him but how could his own father blame him like that when he was at his lowest point?

[Riserise]

Poor guy

[WhateverBitch]

It seems like there was a lot of drama bts with Topp Dogg. I don't remember very well but didn't Hansol (another former member) talk about being suicidal? Also if I'm not wrong their company was extremely shady and rumored to be connected with gangs, so it wouldn't surprise me if they encouraged certain type of behavior...

my exact same thoughts

[hynapia]

The members are trash and the father is horrible too for blaming him instead of helping smh.

I hope he's doing better now. Poor guy.

He's now part of JBJ95 (along with Kenta) and they're doing decently as a duo.

They used to be co-managed by Hunus (Topp Dogg company) and Star Road (Kenta's company) but now they're exclusively managed by Star Road only.

He's a member of JBJ95 with Kenta. As far as I know, the group was joint managed by Hunus/Stardom and Star Road. Now they're only managed by Star Road.

suddenly reminded of all the drama with this group around 2015....

good to see he finally got out of that hell of place 

[starsocks]

It sounds more complicated than him being bullied, no? 

Idk what the original korean implies but from this translation I got the vibe that they were mutually screwing up

[satoori]

Adding on:

 

He has forgiven all the members of the group and there were some who apologized but not all. He brought up the story because he is completely okay now.

Stardom Ent has responded to Park Hyun-ho's bullying story that their position is completely different from the contents of the video. An official letter was sent to the YouTube channel that hosted the interview requesting the deletion of the video.

update: The video has been deleted and the agency added that they would respond strongly to the dissemination of false information about Stardom Ent artists.

More than half of these articles are about minsung/hansol and everyone knows he is not mentally healthy so defining his struggles as "drama" is a bit...

At the time all of this was "an emotional and unexpected series of events." (literal definition of drama)

Also someone here specifically mentioned him, so I provided more info.

[jjangyi]

that must feel like hell when your whole group dislike you, and his family being unsupportive on top of that. but i'm glad he  left that group, hope he's doing better now.
