Yuk Ji Dam Asks CJ, YMC and their artists (Jessi, Ailee...) To Apologize

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

On March 21, rapper Yuk Ji Dam wrote a post on her personal blog requesting an apology from CJ E&M and YMC Entertainment. This comes a month after Yuk Ji Dam responded to a fanfic about Wanna One’s Kang Daniel and Kasper’s explanation.

In her post, she explains that she went through some scary situations and says she will hold a press conference if she does not receive a proper apology. When people questioned whether the post was really written by Yuk Ji Dam, the rapper uploaded a photo of herself with her student ID and elementary school journal to prove her identity.

“First of all, I am really sorry about ruining the country’s atmosphere as a celebrity. The foreigners, Koreans, and Asians who tried to take me to the airport when I was in Los Angeles in February. The multiple cars. I would like the cars to be investigated for following me whenever I was walking alone. I want to check CCTV. February 14, the day of the Gaon Chart Awards. That’s the day. In the end, my sister came to the United States to get me. I don’t know what YMC and CJ did, but even before I posted on Instagram, Jessi, Ailee, Jenny House, YMC’s head, and my former company CJ’s department head Hong ignored me when I contacted them. Scary things were happening to me and I was only trying to live, but YMC and CJ did not contact me once. I wanted to resolve the situation involving Kang Daniel with the people directly involved, but it looked like they made a plan to hide all of Wanna One. And the malicious comments that were so bad that they were hard to look at with open eyes. I could not find any words supporting me. I came back from the United States around February 16 and I was scared and hiding in a hospital. The tyranny of big corporations are causing harm even to my family. I ask for a sincere, proper apology and explanation from CJ, YMC, and their artists. If you do not apologize immediately I will hold a press conference within a few days. Also, I will sue against all of the malicious comments and unfounded rumors posted over the past month. My email address is [email address]. I would be thankful if you sent me PDFs [of the comments].”

Yuk Ji Dam’s Father Speaks Up About Daughter’s Blog Post
After Yuk Ji Dam wrote a blog post asking CJ E&M and YMC Entertainment to apologize, the rapper’s father spoke up about the situation on his daughter’s behalf, who currently does not have an agency.

According to news outlet E Daily, Yuk Ji Dam’s father told a reporter, “I found out about Ji Dam’s post through a news article. Even just this morning, she told me she’d be back from her schedule, so I didn’t notice anything different about her. I’ll have to ask my daughter why she decided to write that post.”

In regards to the content of the post, Yuk Ji Dam’s father stated, “It’s true that she might hold a press conference. To be honest, I have lots of things to say, too. I think she wrote that post because it went beyond a tolerable level for her. I believe she has lots of things pent up against her former agency. I’m trying to talk it out with Ji Dam first.”

When asked if Yuk Ji Dam was actually followed around in Los Angeles, her father replied that he doesn’t know.

CJ And YMC Respond To Yuk Ji Dam’s Post And Request For Apology

CJ E&M and YMC Entertainment have officially responded to rapper Yuk Ji Dam’s post and request for an apology.

A source from CJ E&M said, “Last fall we mutually agreed with Yuk Ji Dam to terminate her contract. The company has not been in touch with her since then. We are not sure what [Yuk Ji Dam] wants an apology for.”

YMC Entertainment said, “The agency has not been in touch with Yuk Ji Dam, so we don’t know what kind of apology to make. We will do our best to make sure that our artists do not get hurt and harmed.”

Earlier today, Yuk Ji Dam wrote a blog post about encountering scary situations and asking CJ E&M and YMC to apologize.

She's an incredibly messy person, make absolutely no mistake, and I don't like her and have not liked her since those disgusting funeral posts she made.

That said... I'm extremely worried for her mental health right now. She seems really unstable and incoherent. I think there is something going on that is being overlooked. I hope her family does the right thing and addresses the issue.

i agree :(

This. She seems like she's lashing out. I don't think she's right in this situation because honestly what are these people supposed to do? Ailee isn't going to fly out to the States to get security to do their job etc. And the companies certainly aren't going to do anything when the contract is terminated. I just feel bad for her because it looks like she's looking for someone to blame but is pointing fingers anywhere

man i just submitted a post with all of this :( should have checked omona first

Woops sorry didnt mean to reply to you!

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Calling out Jessi or even Ailee for things unrelated to them is messy af
Her dad should spend less time with the press or on social media and more time taking care of her

This seems like a mental breakdown in the making and from her own admission, she was hospitalized recently. IDK, I'm worried for her. Her family needs to get her off SNS

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

the way this is written is worrying.

[spainawards2008.livejournal.com]

I have literally no idea who she is or what any of this is about and having read her blog post I'm none the wiser

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

oh, honey. get a good agent and shut your mouth. she really made the wrong career moves after uprs1. uprs3 started her downfall.

idk it could be just a translation thing but.... her writing seem erratic

at first this tea was funny but now seems like she's losing touch with reality and going delusional not in a funny way

Does she have management??? How are they allowing them to do this.

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

iirc, she's not signed with anyone & that's why all rebuttal statements—on her side—are through her dad, as he's acting as her manager rn

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

Well they have helped sabotage her career
