TRCNG Woo Yeop and Tae Sun have filed criminal charges against TS Entertainment.
According to their lawyer Jung Ji Sun at Namgang Law Firm on the 18th, the two members filed for contract terminations from TS Entertainment on the 4th alleging that they suffered child abuse, special assault and extortion.
According to the members, they suffered habitual child abuse by Director Park Sang-hyun in charge of choreography for underage members and head of the choreography team Yoon O.
According to the two, they were unable to attend high school for 2-3 years due to severe choreography exercises and extensive vocal training. Director Park also repeatedly punished the members when they played games under the pretext of "tough love." The members stated that they frequently went to the emergency room due to tough choreography exercises but even then he would still abuse them afterwards and wouldn't give them food. The members also frequently had no water, electricity or air conditioning due to unpaid bills.
Woo Yeop alleges that he was assaulted by head of choreography Yoon during choreography practice on June 10, 2019 around 8 pm and suffered significant injuries. The company wouldn't take him to the hospital so he had to go to the University Hospital Emergency room alone for two days. When he tried to report it to Director Park, he said, "Don't ruin someone's life because of a misunderstanding." As a result, he ended up going home without taking any action. Afterwards, Director Park and the other directors and managers went out drinking and met women.
In addition to the contract terminations from TS, both members also filed complaints with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on the 12th on charges of habitual child abuse and special assault.
The case is currently under investigation.
