A netizen is causing controversy after testimony that he was propositioned by an entertainment CEO.
A posted an article on online community titled, "XX BJ is a party to prostitution" and stated, "I became a huge fan of B through an online broadcast in April. B appeared in famous audition show last year."
He revealed, "I received a message on my online ID to sponsor B with 10,000 star balloons (worth 1 million won) and a request to meet her in person. During the meeting, I met singer B and entertainment agency CEO C who suggested I invest in the company because the financial situation isn't good. He told me, "If you deposit 30 million won right now, I'll leave her with you." The meeting was at 10pm at a coffee shop near the company."
"I refused several times but he threatened me and then tried to placate me. He kept offering one night with B and even sent me a photo of B, her real name and a bankbook through text message. He forced me to stay there for 3 hours and B kept crying asking that I help her."
"Isn't this mediating prostitution? How can a CEO sell their artist to try and solve the company's financial situation? Isn't this punishable by law? I'm going to ask the police to investigate."
A later found out CEO C was on trial for special fraud charges and had given up on the investment but was still trying to maintain a good relationship.
Afterwards, CEO C's agency spoke to a media outlet and appealed for justice stating, "The content and transcript of the author's claims are not true. It's all made up. We will take strong legal action."
Netizen A retorted writing, "I have all data to prove what I'm saying is true. I gave her 1 million won even though my cell phone bill wasn't paid. I've sent her money during broadcasts several times but I didn't lose much. I'm heartbroken. I wanted to reveal this so that it doesn't happen to anyone else."
The post has since been deleted.
