While Lee Hyun-joo from the girl group April opened his mouth to the bullying rumors of the members, April Jena and Chae-won also opened their mouths directly to the bullying controversy of former member Hyun-joo.
April member Jena said, “I wanted to show the facts clearly in court, but I couldn’t watch a lot of speculation anymore, so I write it down step by step here” through her Instagram in the early morning of the 18th.
Jena said, “We all had different starting points, but we ran to this place without stopping looking at one goal together. One of them was our very precious team,’April,'” and “In the meantime, we have experienced all the things that we didn’t have to go through. At a young age. I wanted to be complained and bewildered, but all of them have been silently doing their work in their respective seats,” he said.
Jena said, “But I felt that the member always pushed us away,” and said, “I thought only myself as a victim of what happened to everyone, and treated us as perpetrators even in accidental situations. Unless I believe in the members, we have all of us. “I felt more and more keen that the effort was meaningless.”
“Even so, if it was up to my peers or younger friends to be unable to take care of the members with weak bodies and minds, I think the situation was more severe.” “The members are always healthy and mentally strong, so I didn’t come here safely. “We were the same person, so there was no one who didn’t suffer from body, mind, and pain. Some pain is something that people who haven’t been through those hard times can’t know.
He said, “It hurts me so much that the long time of 7 years has turned into a pointless time in an instant. It’s scary that this reality has become what we did even though it wasn’t me, and we didn’t.” “Once again, I would like to inform you that there was no bullying, bullying, assault, and verbal abuse, and that everyone was struggling. I will endure until the end and reveal the truth clearly,” he added.
April Chae-won also said through his Instagram at a similar time on this day, “I wanted to be close because all of the members of April had to go forward with the same goal, and I have never deliberately separated between the members.” As the eldest sister, I tried to get along well with everyone by taking care of the members, and especially I took care of Hyunjoo, who was weak in body and mentality.”
Chae-won said, “It is true that both mothers and Hyeon-ju were in close contact with each other from before their debut in 2014. We have evidence related to this. I think that Hyun-ju will also remember this if he has conscience, and the truth is soon. I think it will be revealed.”
Chae-won said, “We all debuted at a young age and were mentally difficult because we were immature. It was a time of pain, not one person’s pain,” said Chae-won. “I don’t want to suffer anymore due to excessive speculation. Bullying and bullying. , Assault, verbal abuse, harassment, and personal attacks are all not true.”
He said, “Even if I was unfair to reveal the truth in the court, I endured and endured. But I thought I couldn’t stay still. I will definitely reveal the truth. Thank you for your patience and once again with this controversy. “I would like to express my sincere apology to the fans who would have been surprised.”
Earlier on the same day, Lee Hyun-ju, from the girl group April, first opened his mouth about the bullying rumors of the members. Lee Hyun-joo confessed, “For three years, I had to consistently suffer from assault, abusive language, harassment, abusive speech and personal attacks. Among them, personal attacks and unfounded insults against my precious grandmother, mother, father, and younger brother were painful to endure.”
Good morning. This is April Jena. First of all, we apologize for causing concern to many people due to the controversy. I wanted to show the facts clearly in court, but I couldn’t watch countless speculations anymore, so I’ll write them down step by step here.
We all had different starting points, but we ran to this place without stopping looking at one goal together. One of them was our very precious team,’April’. In the meantime, we’ve gone through all the things we don’t have to go through. There were many times when each of us was exhausted and exhausted, so we wanted to let go of everything, but the members endured themselves for 7 years with their teeth clenched. At a young age, I wanted to be complained and bewildered, but all of them have been doing their jobs silently in their own place without paying any attention. It was a time when they were all young and difficult to take care of themselves.
Because it’s a team, it’s a member we’ll be with in the future, so if we fall behind, reach out and go together. We take it for granted too. So we tried to do our best in our own way. No matter how difficult it was, I was polite, gave up my turn, left a letter when I was sick, and celebrated my birthday…I did countless things you should do as the same member you think.
But I felt that the member always pushed us out. In what happened to everyone, they considered only themselves as victims and treated us as perpetrators even in accidental situations. Unless I trusted the members, I felt more and more deeply aware that all of our efforts were meaningless. It’s always been up to us to deal with the anxiety and fear of not knowing where things will go. Nevertheless, if it was up to my peers or younger friends to be unable to take care of the members with weak bodies and minds, I think the situation was more severe.
The members are always healthy and have a strong mentality, so they haven’t come to this place safely. Since we are the same person, there is no one who has not been sick with body, mind, and pain. Some pains were unknown to those who did not go through those hard times together. By the way, can you speak easily as if you know us better than us, as if we were going through those situations together? From that day on, we have been standing alone as we did then, without knowing how the day will pass. How much harder should it be. How long do I have to endure these things? Now it has become a wound that cannot be healed.
It hurts me so much that the long time of 7 years has turned into a pointless time at an instant due to this untrue thing. It’s scary that this reality becomes me even if it’s not me, and it’s become what we did even if we didn’t. Once again, I would like to inform you that there was no bullying, bullying, assault, or violent language, and that everyone was struggling. I hope that the members and fans will not be hurt and hurt anymore with distorted words and words that are difficult to put in their mouths. We will endure to the end so that the family, acquaintances, and fans who have trusted us and took off their feet are no longer injured.
△The following is the full text of April Kim Chae-won
Good morning. This is April Chaewon. First of all, I apologize to the fans who may have been surprised by the various rumors that have emerged recently. We apologize for any concern.
I wanted to be close because all of the members of April had to move forward with the same goal, and I have never deliberately separated between the members. After Somin withdrawal, I worked hard to get along with everyone by taking care of the members as the eldest, and especially, I took care of Hyunjoo, who was weak in body and mentality.
In addition, it is true that all of them were close from before their debut in 2014 until their debut in 2014, so that their mothers communicated with Hyun-joo. We have evidence of this. I think Hyunjoo will remember this if he has a conscience, and I think the truth will be revealed soon.
And the rumors related to the manager are also really unfair and ridiculous. The fact that the manager freely tolerates the work of the company cannot happen at all, and the manager at the time must have been stressed by Hyun-joo. We also have evidence for this.
We all made our debut at a young age, and it was very difficult mentally because it was in our immature days.
It was not one person’s pain, but a time of pain together. I no longer want to suffer from excessive speculation. Bullying, bullying, assault, violence, harassment, and personal attacks are not true.
I endured and endured all this even though I was unfair to reveal the truth in court. I couldn’t help but wait because I couldn’t do what I wanted. However, I thought I couldn’t stay still. I will definitely reveal the truth until the end.
Thank you for your patience and once again, I would like to express my sincere apology to the fans who would have been surprised by this controversy. That is all. Thank you.
