❗️PLEASE SUPPORT THE EAST LIGHT ❗️ 📢

Trigger warning: Violence, abuse and assault.

On 19th October, Lee Seok Cheol, The East Light’s leader opened up about the physical and verbal abuse from Media Line’s producer ‘A’ and their CEO, Kim Chang Hwan starting from before their debut until last year (2015 - 2017).

They were severely abused with a baseball bat, metal microphone, slapped in their face. Producer ‘A’ reportedly wrapped a guitar around a member’s neck and yanked it everytime he would make a mistake during his performance. Whenever the member tried to speak up about it, he would threaten them blatantly, “I’m going to kill you.” Due to this, they sustained injuries and trauma, both physical and psychological.

The CEO Kim Chang Hwan simply allowed such vile actions to go on, merely telling Producer ‘A’ “Don’t be too harsh.” The CEO cursed and threatened the members as well. The trauma and abuse are so extreme that Lee Seung Hyun is currently receiving treatment for physical and psychological pain.

Today is NOT the day we let criminals like Kim Chang Hwan & Producer A roam around freely. THIS HAS TO BE TO STOPPED. Can you imagine the aspirations, the hope & the trust all 6 of them, Lee Seok Cheol, Lee Eun Sung, Lee Seung Hyun, Jeong Sa Gang, Kim Jun Wook & Lee Woo Jin had in the company? The trust their families had in the company, to aid these young men to reach their goals & fulfill their dreams. And what happened to that trust, that love? These vile people used it against them.

The East Light and The Lawsuit...

Today unfortunate news made headlines, since some members of young K-Pop group/band The East Light under Media Line Entertainment have filed a lawsuit against their label. It was revealed that the band has been verbally abused and physically assaulted since 2015 by an unnamed producer and the company’s CEO Kim Changhwan.

According to a source, “Producer ‘A’ not only verbally attacked and punished The East Light members, who are minors, but also slapped their faces and was severely violent with a baseball bat, metal microphone, and more. A reportedly wrapped a guitar string around one member’s neck and pulled it every time he made a mistake in his performance. If the members tried complaining against such actions, he threatened them saying, “I’m going to kill you.” As a result, some members have suffered from injuries such as bleeding from their heads or bruises on their buttocks. CEO Kim Chang Hwan reportedly allowed these actions to happen and has also reportedly cursed and threatened the members. After watching “A” locking in the members and physically abusing them, Kim Chang Wan simply commented, “Don’t be too harsh.” The source shared, “One member has even received treatment for physical and psychological pain due to the physical and verbal abuse.”

The agency later released an official statement addressing the issue. According to the statement, the agency became aware of the physical abuse by the producer in 2017, and the situation was resolved with a promise to never let it happen again. They also stated that the producer in question had handed in his resignation to take full responsibility of his actions, and they denied that CEO Kim Chang Hwan had instigated or abetted any acts of violence. Tomorrow will be a press conference, where one of the members will talk about what allegedly happened to him.
