[enter-talk] STATEMENT CALLING FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF MINGYU FROM SEVENTEEN


T/N: we'll paraphrase

Standardized mass email subject: We are demanding the withdrawal of Mingyu from Seventeen

Mass email's address: protect@pledis.co.kr

Mass emailing time: 2021/2/6 22:00-23:00 (sending after this time is ok)

Mass email's content:
We request the withdrawal of Seventeen's Mingyu (referred to as Kim Mingyu) who used school violence against the weak, such as women and the disabled, as soon as possible.

On the 22nd, an online community wrote a post titled  'Male idol with iljin roots, Kim X-kyu, a member of SeXX'. Although the controversy grew due to the article, which contains specific evidence of school violence, Pledis Entertainment has only officially stated that they were obvious false claims. Since then, additional victims' testimonies and proofs have been posted one after another, but since the 22nd, Pledis has remained silent without any rebuttal or expressing its position. The Union does not agree with this response from Pledis, and we are forwarding our opinion.

1. We demand Kim Mingyu's personal apology and Pledis' official statement

2. We demand the withdrawal of Mingyu and the suspension of his promotions as a celebrity. 

School violence is a social crime that cannot be forgiven for any reason. In the current Republic of Korea, pop culture is having a tremendous influence on the daily life of individuals beyond social culture. In particular, the idol industry exerts direct and indirect influence on teenagers. As an entertainment agency leading popular culture, I hope that Pledis will not overlook the serious responsibility and we urge you to clearly recognize the seriousness of school violence and the importance of artist management, and to announce your position as soon as possible.

Who cares about where this statement was from..?? Isn't withdrawing a members like him the right thing to do? What good would it be to continue with him for the remaining members? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

What Carats from Female Generation (T/N: Female Generation/FG is an internet cafe in Daum Cafe)?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ you should've uploaded this in FG, why upload this on Pann? I know that you guys were the ones who spread Seventeen's rumors and are getting sued. There are no Carats there. Me too I hate Mingyu but I can see that you guys are getting excited over someone possibly withdrawing. Why are you guys posting this without consulting anyone?

If it's true, this is the right thing to do but where are you guys from?...

Pann is the best place to gain exposure so that's why they posted it here. Do you really think that trolls would post something this sincere?

5. [+128, -30]
What's up with the comments here? I'm seriously dumbfounded ㅋㅋ Just reading the content, you can tell that it was written by Carats. Looks like because they didn't participate in this, they think that this is fake

Calling them "trolls", are you crazy? Do you think that they would take their time to write a sincere statement... get in your right mind and go send some emails
