Hyunjoo's brother makes another post, providing more details of bullying and evidence of suicide attempt (drug overdose)


Recommended Posts

The entire post has yet to be translated, but I read the post using MTL and it's really bad. Here are tweets with some of the points

I just read the pann post and it's seriously so sad. I can't understand anyone who stays neutral after this. They drove this girl to death and they knew it. Even after the fact, all of the statements defending April have been hell bent on painting her as the villain in this story, attacking her for being "weak and lazy," and "ruining it for the other members." Attacking her for missing practice when she fainted, attacking her for missing schedules when she was just recovering from a suicide attempt and at the hospital! It's such an utter lack of decency and basic human empathy

No, this is not comparable AT ALL to the T-ara situation, that's just trivializing this issue. It's clearly much more similar to what Mina went through in AOA. Seriously, being "neutral" in this case where the victim is very clearly still suffering and trapped in a hopeless situation, is helping no one except the perpetrators. 

I sincerely hope Hyunjoo will be okay. 

Edit: here's the new post from her sibling in case anyone wants to google translate it

At this point it is going to be hard for them to keep denying it. They dug their own graves when they complained about her skipping practice when it was due to her suicide attempt. That shows that they have no empathy at all for Hyunjoo.

that was clear to me from the beginning how all the former staff + Ajax member + DSP kept trying to paint  a narrative that "no no~ it was Hyunjoo's fault for being so weak and lazy! because she had health problems the other members suffered too!" without any consideration for the actual person with health problems.

There was the staff member that talked about how she ran away and was found by the han river but so easily dismissed it bc there was no "evidence" of suicide, as if she should have been a body floating in the river for them to take her seriously. then another staff member specifically went, "there was no physical abuse" when the bother never even mentioned that, as if they were basically admitting to the emotional abuse but considered it insignificant. Not even going to go in to how that AJAX member gaslighted her in his post or how the sister put the blame on her. 

suffice to say, no one defending april has shown an ounce of empathy for hyunjoo and that's really telling

This is so awful. Since Hyunjoo is still under the same company, what are the implications for her in all this?

 

She likely will never be able to speak up about this as long as she remains under them. It's pretty clear by now that she's using her brother and friend as a proxy because she's unable to come out herself. DSP will not support her when she lost them their biggest money maker and it's not like she's been doing much work with them either (a few webdramas here and there), so she'll likely be stopped from doing any gigs and kept away from the public. It looks like DSP is still foolishly believing they can turn the tides but when they realize they can't I wouldn't put it past them to coerce a denial from her even if she doesn't want it. 

I only hope they don't take their anger out on her. They are the reason this mess happened, not Hyunjoo. Fuck DSP.

i don't know who she is but i hope she will be fine It's awful she went through all this and i really hope this ends SOON. If she/he doesn't get a good apology I will make a protest (or try) on this website and i am NOT joking. After all they were through she better get a good apoplogy or it won't make sense and that protest will start.

Just reading this gave me chills:

Spoiler

 

However, my noona had been undergoing training to be an idol, but was made an outcast right before her debut. Hence, as she thought that she could not debut with this team, she told the company her thoughts as such, multiple times. But the company persuaded her time and time again to take a few days off to think about it. In this process, she repeatedly returned and thought that the bullying from the members would get better. I remember her practicing the choreography the company had sent her, alone in her room while saying she didn’t want to give harm to the team. 

She returned in hopes that the bullying issue would get better but what happened was not so. Rather, it became worse than before and due to the thought that she was unable to take back her decision as well as the hope that the suffering would get better, she took it upon herself to bear the situation. As a result, her body showed signs of being unable to take it any longer. During schedules and practices, as well as the way to and from home and the company, there were many instances where she fainted. The members and manager who knew she was sick, didn’t bring her to the hospital immediately and made the decision to leave her (laying) there as such.  

 

If the way everyone tried to blame her for being lazy or say the bullying incidents were harmless rubbed me the wrong way before....this is just vile.

The only people I have sympathy for is HyunJoo (obviously), the two members who were not apart of the group when all this was happening (Rachel and ChaeKyung) and the members of K.A.R.D. (sans Somin). I'll throw in the upcoming boy group and dsp's trainees too. Other than those mentioned everyone else's career can burn to the ground along with DSP for all I care.

so sad. i believe the april members have probably carried this narrative of them having suffered so much “because of hyunjoo” to cover themselves with the people around them because it’s easier to believe a group of people than just one person. they’re messed up.

The culture in DSP media is really really really bad and TOXIC. Like the way DSP media moved on just like that without even giving a statement when the babykara/kara project trainee committed suicide was very telling. & Then hyunjoo almost commits suicide also and they just act as if nothing went wrong again? Just horrible people. This company does not deserve any ounce of success.

it's strange that everyone is giving their 5 cent on the story but the girl that allegedly was being bullied is not or did i missed smth?
i hate seeing everyone that is on APRIL side talking of Hyunjoo's sickness like that it was her fault or that she wanted to be sick. South Korea really don't f*cking care about healthiness and depression and it's shows once again, that is why their suic*dal rate are scaring. they treat idol like robots that can't be sick or show emotions so I shouldn't be that surprised with this mentality.
i don't know if they bullied her but for sure instead of the girls support each other and help her they didn't care much. there is no sisterhood between them and that is the problem in join people with different personality in a group.

if i would be in a kpop group/band, if i could, i would prefer form a group with friends not with strangers chosen by the company

 

 

 

i don't know which side koreans are taking in this case but for me and a lot of international fans it's not looking good for APRIL side, even if they didn't bullied her, it's show lack of empathy

These absolute fuckers had the nerve to just leave her there to basically die and then have the audacity to say she was overreacting and lazy in the same breath? What humanity do they have left?

 

I just hope Rachel and Chaekyung run away FAST, but everyone else involved in this need to have their careers ended for this, there’s no other way. I would toss them all in jail if I could. And the people who defended them, the creep from AJAX, the sister...they need to bow down to their knees and beg for forgiveness, and hope that they’re lucky enough that people will take pity on them. I hope they feel burdened by shame and guilt for the rest of their lives.

DSP lost 2 artist do to suicide (technically 1 and a trainee, but the latter was known publicly)

The fact that they STILL don’t take it seriously is mind blowing

Hopefully Hyunjoo has finally recovered from this and will continue living her dream wherever she goes

I read the whole post translation on pannchoa and damn. This was very painful to read.

His brother is just seeking an apology for her sister, for her and their whole family to feel better. But this whole time all that DSP and the related people (like the stylists and that AJAX member) did was to put the blame on Hyunjoo.

This makes me so sad. It looks like her health problems were caused by the bullying, not the opposite like DSP is trying to make it look like. And even if she had health problems, that's no fucking reason to bully someone. Nothing can justify bullying. Many Kpop groups had difficulties due to a member health but do they all bully the member having issues?! They could've given Hyunjoo a break LIKE SHE ASKED for her to recover and maybe be able to promote again with the group, but they always kept pushing her. They caused all of this. Not her, not her health.

I've watched The Unit and Hyunjoo was a sunshine during the whole show. I can't even understand how they could be so mean to her. I'm glad the Uni.T girls are still here for her. It must be so hard to go through all of this, she probably is receiving a LOT of pressure from DSP and she could even get threats as we speak... it makes me mad. I truly hope she can get away from that damned company and live happily.
