Netizens are concerned about the safety and well-being of other members.
Former-MADE IN member Gaeun‘s social media activity has raised questions about his relationship with his former bandmates.
Gaeun officially left MADEIN on November 28 after accusing the CEO of 143 Entertainment of sexually assaulting her. After the announcement of his departure, he stopped following MADEIN’s official social account, along with that of his former agency. However, he was still following his group members.

A few days after Gaeun’s departure, she and the Japanese members of the group never followed each other again, except Mashiro. While it is unclear which party unfollowed first, many fans were worried that the Japanese members, who live far from home, might be pressured by the label.
realizing that the members that gaeun don’t follow are foreign members makes me feel even worse… who knows what Dm might do to them because they are literally far from their homes and families.

MiU he was the only member who did not follow suit. At this point Gaeun was still following him Mashiro, YESAND Suhyebut soon stopped following Suhye.

MiU, on the other hand, unfollowed Gaeun but continued to follow the rest of MADEIN members, raising doubts as to whether the social media unfollows were indeed carried out under pressure from the company.
All of MADEIN members’ social media activity has sparked apprehension about their current relationship and whether existing members are under unfair pressure from the company. Meanwhile, 143 Entertainment has denied the allegations of sexual assault, promising to reveal the evidence.”if necessary.” Read more here.
