Physical Altercations, Sex And More: Idols Exposing Issues Between Their Group Mates
While many groups are as close as they appear to be, sometimes issues between members are suddenly brought to the surface. On occasion, it is the members themselves who blast their members for serious issues, ranging from bad behavior to sexual harassment.
Here are some instances that left fans shocked by their favorite idol’s unexpected issues with groupmates.
1. Ex-n.SSign’s Eddie
Boy group n.SSign debuted in August 2023 as a ten-member group before the departures of three members.
Former member Eddie shocked many when he publicly criticized the company, while also implying that the members had issues with each other in messages to fans, stating that they were not “a family.” Eddie and the other members departed in 2024 due to health issues, according to the company.
2. Plan B’s Roy
Mixed boy group Plan B’s activities suddenly stopped, something member Roy attributed to two members, Han (now Wangseok) and Hwi, suddenly leaving the country and joining another group. Roy also claimed that a physical altercation with Wangseok led to his going to the hospital.
For the Halloween 2023 stage,
I was unable to perform with the other members — not because of a personal decision,
but because I was physically harmed by a fellow member (Wangseok).
All the members witnessed the incident, and the leader was unable to control the situation (he didn’t dare to say that Han was at fault — something that hurt me deeply).
At that time, I didn’t want the situation to escalate,
so I chose to let it go, not wanting it to affect the performance or the company, and didn’t make any demands.P.S. There were witnesses — the members —
and afterward, the manager took me to the hospital,
where the doctor advised him to stop activities due to the risk of a bone fracture.— Roy
On top of this, Wangseok allegedly sexually harassed another member of the group so badly that he left.
3. WOOAH’s Lucy
WOOAH’s Lucy was unexpectedly exposed for talking badly about her group mates in alleged private messages.
In these messages, she claimed that the members were fake and implied there were issues between them. She also allegedly claimed to hate fans and wished for the group to disband.
4. Ex-AOA’s Mina
Former AOA‘s Mina claimed that ex-member Jimin had bullied and harassed her, eventually leading her to attempt suicide, also blaming the other members for being bystanders.
Amid the back and forth claims between the two, Mina blasted Jimin for bringing a man to the dorm for sex.
