Its time for: guess the rookie girl

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

A rookie girl group member in her twenties identified as A, has been caught in a sponsor relationship after falsely accusing her boyfriend of the same age of sexual assault. After suing him and being brought into custody, her sponsor relationship with B was revealed.

Sponsor relationships refer to when an individual has an influential “sponsor” who pays them and provides different types of support in exchange for sexual favors.

It was revealed on January 22 that the Uijeongbu District Prosecutor’s Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Tae Chul) has charged A, who has also been charged with providing false accusations, and sponsor B with grievous bodily harm.

B has been described as a man of considerable wealth in his thirties. He is being charged for repeatedly assaulting A’s boyfriend C which resulted in broken ribs and various fractures that took four weeks to recover from. After assaulting C, B also stole C’s SIM card from his cell phone. This assault occurred on May 15 of last year.

At the time, B claimed that he committed assault in order to get photos of A from C’s cell phone. However, investigations found no special photos of A on C’s cell phone.

C sued B for grievous bodily harm after the assault occurred. Later, A sued C for sexual assault that occurred last January on June 25 of last year.

However, the prosecution confirmed that A threatened C with accusations of sexual assault because C had sued B.

The prosecution explained that A and B have been placed in restricted prosecution due to their heavy crimes of false accusation and grievous bodily harm.

Meanwhile, A is a rookie girl group member who previously won a prize at a model beauty pageant.

Lovely?? or OMG? idk, Lovelyz is a tad problematic, ain't they?

[jeliza]

I think Lovelyz and OMG are too big for a member suing a boyfriend for assault to be ignored by the media, and too small to have the kind of fanbase that could cover things up.

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

Lovelyz is a tiny bit problematic due to the whole Seo Jisoo scandal
but the item isn't about Lovelyz. I don't think any of them are in their twenties?

[cinoire.livejournal.com]

i don't follow lovelyz at all but iirc baby soul is 24

[lalaland-xx.livejournal.com]

actually half of them are on their 20s Baby soul is from 92, jiae from 93, mijoo and jisoo from 94.. I just kind of hope the article is not about them, this could really mess things up now that they're having more recognition :c

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

didn't the charges against jisoo turn out to be false? kinda fucked up for them to be considered problematic for that

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

see, that's where it gets weird

because the last thing I heard before everything was overrun with the promotion of Lovelyz8 was:
> the victims actually brought receipts and requested a formal trial
> Woollim dropped the case, mediaplayed like it was false information (they didn't have much trouble with that because a lot of trolls gave false accusations just to fuck with everything) and then admitted what Jisoo did was wrong and gave the victims a gag order so if they told journalists or the internet anything more, they'd be fined 100 million won.
> one of the main victims, "jisooluv", didn't agree whatsoever, so they went to The Fact with their information.

I don't think Woollim said anything officially on the matter which is frustrating because Lovelyz seems like an okay group and I want to check them out but this is p much holding me back from doing so, so idk man idk.

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

yikes, i didn't know about any of that. thanks for letting me know and providing the sources!

god why is woollim always so fucking shady

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

...i can't click on any of the links.....

yikes. i didnt know sponsorship, in the entertainment industry meant that ~sexual favors. i thought it was just like ..idk when you sponsor a child or something smh.

i'm guessing this occurs for female groups who come from smaller companies? or have lower budgets?? i wonder if this happens to males too.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

males also have sponsors

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

this isn't feed the children christian sponsor hahahaha but yeah you can say that older fans noonas/ajummas/ or ahjussis are sponsors without the sexual crap. They do but them tons of things and support them food, vitamins.
It could happen to anyone really but yeah struggling trainees or working idols even the acting set m/f are targets.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

LOL! awww you're cute

[innnnnnnnn2.livejournal.com]

Honestly, as long as the idols aren't being forced into sponsor relationships by their agencies, I won't be bothered by those relationships. This particular case is obviously more complicated, but I don't understand why people have such an issue with consensual sponsor relationships. People around the world have sugar daddies/mommies. It's not a huge deal.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

I feel the same and as long as there is no underage crap. They are grown.

[yakuniku-8.livejournal.com]

Then it needs to be called by its real name: prostitution.

[yakuniku-8.livejournal.com]

Of course but calling it sponsor is a eupheumism. I'm not judging people doing it.

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

because there's a massive power disparity in the relationship which enables the sponsor to be able to abuse them with limited recourse for the less powerful partner. Ever notice how the identity of the beneficiary's identity often leaks out, but the sponsor's almost never does?

+1

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

ty

there is almost never prostitution on equal footing and trying to brush it away as not a big deal is unbelievable

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

a+

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

+1 thank you for saying this so well!

[kairoso.livejournal.com]

agree w/ the above reply, plus prostitution in korea is illegal

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

exactly. for idols its especially hard since they work but often don't get paid in the beginning or very little, so the money has to come from somewhere

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Apparently if you naver search the hint they gave in korean you only get one person so oop

[forsureyoudo.livejournal.com]

so who is it?

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

D.Holic's Hami, im sad her name is being dragged into this already when nothing is official bcuz a rumor like this could destroy her whole life.

[jeliza]

The only pageant winner I've been able to find so far is Hyeji from Gangkiz, but they disbanded two years ago...

[infadel-x.livejournal.com]

Naver says it's either D.Holic Hami or Peernine Cha Eunbi?

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

Knetz are pointing towards D.Holic's Hami...oh dear. :/

Some blind items are fun/funny
and then there are ones like these that could end up ruining the career of someone who wasn't even involved with the blind item because k-Netz want to play detective instead of doing their homework.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

the comments about this have been such a MESS
honestly i hate people so much

this is actually really sad tbh some serious things must have gone down bts if she had to resort to that

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

this is honestly none of the public's business. if it's not affecting the group's promotions or public appearances in anyway then they need to stop speculating. this is gonna get attached to people's names and be treated as fact even when there's no concrete evidence, so that will already have an effect on public opinion
