TRCNG’s Wooyeop and Taeseon release multiple evidence of abuse and mismanagement by their agency
Member Taeson recently appeared on the survival show Imagination boys, but he is destined to debut in the group named UNNAME. In a recent content on the YouTube channel, he was very honest about the abuse he suffered in the past, both as a trainee and after his debut.
Taesan revealed that although he had suffered verbal abuse, it was nothing compared to the physical abuse that happened every day.
The idol shared that things like vacuum cleaners, bats or broken mops were in the practice room for “physical abuse.”
Trainees were also asked for money to buy things or made to feel like they had to get them drinks if they had them.
While it was easy to think that others their age would say that if they were short on money, Taeson revealed that it was the CEO and some of their choreography teachers who acted this way.
Taeson explained that he endured it because he wanted to be an idol so badly, and none of the members told their parents.
Those within the agency said it was “normal” and Taeson said he had been brainwashed to believe that.
After the debut, the abuse continued.
One day, one of the member’s actions was misunderstood and he was seriously assaulted, even throwing a vacuum cleaner, pushing him against the wall, and strangling him.
He tried to escape, but Taesan felt sorry because they couldn’t do anything.
Taesan and colleague Wooyeop filed a lawsuit. Initially all members did so, but eight dropped out because they were afraid.
