VIXX’s N reveals he was sexually harrassed once by a female staff

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

VIXX‘s N shared a story during a program of an occasion where he was groped by a female staff member and how it made him extremely uncomfortable.

On the 26th of March, at MBC ‘Shin Dongyup and Bachelors Party’ the celebrities on the show discussed the topic of ‘women that drive men crazy’.

VIXX N stated, “Women have the misconception that all men will like it when they touch them but once there was a female staff that kept putting her hand on my thigh when she was talking. Later she even started massaging it and I didn’t know what to do. I hate women like that.”

To this Cho Saeho jokingly replied, “Really? I like it when women touch me first”.

Yo, this title scared the hell out of me. Also, what kind of dumbass response from Cho Saeho.

[onlylexy.livejournal.com]

For real!! I was clutching my chest because I was so scared!

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

ugh seho. i already disliked him from roommate, his comment is just insensitive af.

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

Wow, so lovely of people to take him seriously when he is bravely talking about something that probably happens to idols/trainees on the regular. RME.

Kind sweet Hakyeon. These poor kids go through so much :(

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

Seho annoys me more everyday.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

The title is triggering, please change it.

[cinnabun11.livejournal.com]

this is so sad. And it's scary that there are probably situations going on much worse than this one and idols aren't brave enough to speak out about it.
I hope they perform proper background checks of any stylists and staff members

of course the dudes are acting like he should enjoy it. *eye roll*
it's like every time theres a case of a female teacher assualting a male student all the comments are like he's so lucky! i wish i had that kind of teacher in hs!

i wonder if idols are particularly sensitive about people touching them without consent. they always have fangirls/boys grabbing at that, pulling them, trying to touch their butts, etc. i bet they get shock from it.

Ugh, that's so true and it's so fucking disgusting. And even if he enjoyed it, it's still a grown ass adult taking advantage of a minor with less experience in life and everything. Idk how people can say that's being "lucky". It's basically victim-blaming.

Hakyeon ;___;

[layna.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I'm glad N brought this up because I'm sure it happens often, unfortunately.

Seho is such an ass.

[theemii.livejournal.com]

Cho Saeho is a fucking moron..like someone just told a a women kept on sexual assaulting him and that's his respond?

[classicfire.livejournal.com]

Good for him to tell his story to show how inappropriate this is when either sex does it.

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

ugh, that's awful. poor N. people need to keep their hands to themselves.

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

Stfu, Seho.

I'm glad he spoke up about how uncomfortable/violated he felt, but so disappointed gross, perverted Seho tried to brush it off as a joke and not a serious concern.

This also reminds me of the cases with Onew and Eric Nam, both of them being manhandled/groped/touched inappropriately and expected to laugh it off.

::I can't find the clip but he was clearly uncomfortable::

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

reminded me of siwan too :/ ugh people need to stop w/ these sexist/masculinist conceptions of men should be able to take anything bc they're men!!! it's so nasty

fuck seho

[goldynchickie.livejournal.com]

Ugh, that response. I'm glad he feels confident enough to talk about how he was sexual assaulted.

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

baby just can't catch a break. sexual harassment and constantly being made fun of for his skin color. i feel so bad for him. :( i'm glad he spoke out about it. saeho's response though <.<

i just want to squish my bias

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that he seems to have such a clear understanding of boundaries and right & wrong - he knows when he's being bullied or taken advantage of and he's vocal about it, even if his concerns are continually downplayed by those that surround him.

[purpleglaceon]

I had just read that on Tumblr but my heart still stopped when I read the title before remembering what it was.

I hate that woman get away with anything they do to men.

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

I hate that woman get away with anything they do to men.

Um, I wouldn't go that far. But there's definite double standards in situations like these due to the sexist stereotype of men always being perpetually horny/down for sex whenever and with whomever.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

That kind of behavior is pretty gross
Also what kind of shitty response was that?

[achan123.livejournal.com]

Cho Saeho sounds like the worst kinda dick
what an asshole comment ¬____¬

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

To this Cho Saeho jokingly replied, “Really? I like it when women touch me first”
Gross. Sexual harrassment is never funny, regardless of the gender of the perpetrator. Rme @ this asshole.

[jessicamariek.livejournal.com]

Not sure what's more fucked up, that situation or that response. *side-eyes for days*

Poor baby. This shit has got to stop.

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

Having anyone touch you without your consent is awful.

Also, fuck that Seho douche for his completely insensitive comment.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

seho is a fucking idiot

i still cant BELIEVE that people called nana mean for being cold to him and praised seho for his behaviour
he's a douche

[cococrazies.livejournal.com]

Wtf indeed. Unconsented touching is never okay, regardless of gender.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole Seho and this is part of the reason why.

[evilvalenstrife.livejournal.com]

Wow... Seho needs to be kicked in the ass....
Poor Hakyeon.... My poor baby just keeps going through it. I am glad he said something. This shit needs to fucking stop and be addressed. I wonder how many other idols this has happened to.
The Eric Nam and Onew incidents still enraged me to no end.
