According to some news reports, the Gangnam Police Station received a report around 4:30 PM KST on June 11 stating that “The CEO of the agency is assaulting members.” The CEO was allegedly drunk and attacked the group members because their dormitory was dirty.
The attack was said to have been carried out with a blunt object approximately 90 centimeters long and the report mentioned that some of the members were minors.
The CEO has been reported, but no identity has been provided at this time.
The attack is said to have taken place on June 11 and the first notice of JO not attending any programs came on the same day, hours later.

The representative loses consciousness and remains behind
They took him as a freshman in high school and gave him a haircut that made him look like a bald head.
If all the aggression is dragged out, it won’t be a problem
If you consider the fact that he attacked a child with a blunt object after drinking, you will get the answer.And if you see they posted such a damn notice on their official account, I can’t trust that agency either. Just log out https://t.co/HmwGxHHGQh

You were born in 2008… . I debuted because I wanted to be an idol.
They give me a crappy haircut and drag everyone around.
I was attacked by the boss for using the accommodation in a dirty way and I left the company.
Crazy bastard https://t.co/VJnm88DSRt— 🍙 (@qtyqtzze) September 29, 2024

- Article about a male idol being attacked with a blunt object: June 18 DXMON JO Activity Discontinuation Notice: June 19
- The CEO is a bastard with no conscience.
Taking in a high schooler and ruining his health with instant baldness, messing with his head like an idiot.
After stirring up all the controversy possible, instead of protecting him, he gets drunk and attacks someone young enough to be his son with a blunt object: that says it all. - And looking at how they posted that rubbish warning on the official account, it is clear that this company cannot be trusted either. Everyone, go away.
- He was born in 2008… He debuted because he wanted to be an idol, but they gave him a ridiculous haircut, used him for all the attention, and then he gets attacked by the CEO for supposedly keeping the dorm messy and ends up leaving. the group? It’s crazy.
- Am I out of my mind? Did they use the boy’s appearance to get all the attention and then beat him? A minor? They completely lost it: crazy bastard.
There has been no official communication on the name of the CEO under investigation, nor on the group to which the alleged attack occurred.
