The wife of Kim Jun-won, a member of the two-piece band Glen Check, alleged that she was subjected to sexual harassment by an official at her husband's management company.
Ms. Yoo, Kim Jun-won's wife, stated on social media (SNS) on the 2nd, "I am writing this post because I have requested an apology from A, an official at Glen Check's management company EMA, for two instances of sexually harassing remarks made by him over the past year, but the management company has not responded in any way."
Ms. Yoo, who claimed to have worked without compensation on matters related to Glen Check's activities for more than three years, alleged that after she raised the issue of A's sexual harassment, the company excluded her from her duties and even blocked all contact with her.
She also stated that an official document prepared by the company in response to Ms. Yoo's complaint included a screenshot of her bikini photo and sexually explicit comments left by an anonymous account.
In response, Ms. Yoo said, "It felt as if I was being told that because I am someone who normally exposes my body, I should have to tolerate such remarks," adding, "I felt that even my request for an apology was treated lightly on the grounds that I am not an employee and that it is a past matter."
Ms. Yoo said she is currently receiving psychiatric treatment and living with the help of medication. She addressed A, saying, "It is not my intention to bring someone down," and demanded, "Please acknowledge what was wrong and offer a human apology for the parts where an apology is due."
Ms. Yoo also revealed that she had received reports and materials regarding A from former Glen Check member Kang Hyuk-jun and female artists active in the music industry.
In fact, one woman who had worked in the music industry claimed in a message sent to Ms. Yoo that she was sexually assaulted by A when she was 21 years old but could not report it due to fear of his influence, adding that this incident ultimately led her to quit music.
Regarding this controversy, EMA told StarNews, "There is no internally resolved matter," and refrained from further comment.
