The following is the full text of Hyunjoo Lee’s brother
Hello, I am the younger brother of Lee Hyun-joo, a former member of April.
I’ve always wanted to tell the truth from a few years ago, but I have endured thinking about my sister’s future
But now, I feel like I have to be courageous to speak.
It is known that her sister withdrew from April because she wanted to act, but that is not true.
My sister has been bullied and bullied greatly within the group, and she struggled a lot with panic disorder and breathing difficulties. Eventually, she tried to make extreme choices.
When I think about that time, my parents and I still feel like I’m going to break my heart.
So, I sent a letter to my sister, who had withdrawn from the team, telling her that the company was going out to act and asked to write it down
At that time, my family didn’t know, because everyone thought it was right to do that for my sister.
However, after writing that letter, my sister became a person who betrayed the team for her own interests and heard bad comments that are very hard to hear.
After that, there was no apology from the members, and even when they saw the mother who visited the company, the members of the team laughed and passed by.
My sister is still working hard on her own, so I have endured more and more in case my sister’s image might be damaged, but I can’t see the members who are living well as if there was nothing wrong.
Even me, it’s so hard, but when I think about my sister, I’m very upset and angry.
I don’t want to see these members in action anymore.
I hope I don’t keep appearing on TV and remind my family about what happened at that time, and I don’t want to see my sister’s struggling anymore.
