Any form of harassment, including bullying, is something nobody wants to experience.
Still, over the years, there have been more K-Pop stars who exposed their experiences and stories of harassment they went through, whether from their co-members, friends, or managing labels.
Below is a list of a variety of K-Pop female celebrities who talked about their group members bullying and harassing them.
Ex-FIESTAR Member Cheska
At the beginning of 2020, Cheska hosted her Twitch channel via live video stream and shared some interesting information regarding her tenure days in K-pop group Fiestar.
She disclosed that she was poorly treated in several instances, and worse, bullied by Yezi and Jei. Cheska also even said that the members would fight for nothing but never seem to communicate and reconcile effectively. She also admitted that almost all the members were maltreated apart from Yezi and Jei.
Ex- S#ARP Member Lee Jihye
S#ARP was founded by Seo Jiyoung's family, one of the wealthiest people in the sector at the time.
It was reported that when Lee Ji Hye was introduced to the party, Seo Jiyoung was not wholly comfortable and pleased. Seo Jiyoung would bully Lee Jihye regularly throughout their time together as S#ARP, including inviting close relatives to chastise her.
Because of this, S#ARP eventually disbanded in 2002, and their manager was bribed with money to lie about the harassment. The manager, however, rejected the bribe and publicly revealed Seo Jiyoung's act of violence.
Ex- AOA Member Mina
Mina recently confirmed that Jimin had been harassing and torturing her for several years while still with AOA. Mina wrote several stories about how Jimin traumatized her through her social networking sites page.
Mina further accused FNC Entertainment of doing nothing about this matter. Due to the controversy, Jimin ended up leaving the group and the industry entirely.
