Rookie girl group idol Ari has refuted the agency's claims over the group's disbandment.
The Yellow Bee member shared a lengthy message on her Instagram on the 31st and stated, "The company is saying that the members are promiscuous but they don't even know what the word disorder means. In fact, it's not the members that acted rashly or promiscuously but the company."
She continued, "The members were sexually assaulted, harassed, and molested by company officials and managers. A company official dragged a member to the practice room and tried to have sex. The only people that were able to stop him were the members."
"They official also did a lot of skinship and asked us to call him "oppa" and kept touching our thighs. The former manager used to say things that are hard to speak about. Things like "lets go to the motel and create a baby."
Ari also confessed that she had not received any settlements from the agency. For their Japanese schedules, the members had to purchase their own plane tickets and handle their own luggage without staff at the airport. Even in Japan, the members did not receive any care from the managers.
Ari stated that the reason they all quit the group wasn't because the members were promiscuous but because of the unfair treatment. She stated, "We quit because we couldn't justify the unfair treatment we were receiving."
In the meantime, Yellow Bee's agency Addiction Entertainment revealed on SNS that "they had intentions of continuing the group but were worried they couldn't narrow the differences between the agency and the members and because of alleged promiscuous activities by B. But in the end they internally made the decision to disband the group."
Addiction has since made all Yellow Bee's SNS accounts private.
