Dispatch has exposed the abusive conditions the member of TRCNG had to endure under TS Entertainment.
According to the exclusive Dispatch report on the 18th, TRCNG members endured unlivable conditions with barely any heating, air conditioning or electricity due to unpaid bills by the agency. The company executives also verbally and physically abused the members with one member recalling a time when "a senior executive beat a member with a metal chair causing his ear lobe to split and the member had to pay his own medical bill afterwards. All the members saw it happen."
According to Woo Yeop and Tae Sun, underage members were asked to go to "room salons" with executives and even do manual labor as they were asked to sell "Air Jordans" for one the executives who's hobby was to collect the brand's footwear.
