[theqoo] APRIL "NEXT TO LEE HYUNJOO, WE WERE ALWAYS CONSIDERED CRIMINALS" [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW PART 2]

Posted on June 22, 2021
Previously, girl group APRIL had released part one to an exclusive tell-all interview regarding their bullying accusations. On June 22, 2021, part two of the interview was released.

Excerpts from Yena‘s and Lee Naeun‘s diaries and excerpts from Naeun’s and Chaewon‘s psychological treatment sessions were published through the article in text.

  • Naeun’s diary, February 25: “Unnie is sick again. Recently, all the members and I are tired. I want to know. What’s the problem. Is it too large of a thing for me to understand… does she really want to carry out her dream?” Naeun’s diary, February 27: “Unnie is sick again. My heart feels hot. Although she likes gifts, practice and putting in the effort, anything difficult, she doesn’t like. If she does things as such, will the things she wants end up being achieved? Is there a right way? Today was such a pathetic and difficult day.
  • Naeun’s treatment records, March 31: “My condition is getting serious. I think of death a few times in a day. Unnie is trying to wear the crown without a single effort.”
  • Chaewon’s treatment records, April 16: “Isn’t it so selfish to be sick one out of the two years she was training? I hate to see her now and I hate how the others are having it hard… Those who practice hard only become the fool… I think this is my limit. I’m barely scraping through each day. I don’t cry often but recently I cry every day. I want to die recently.”
  • Yena’s diary, May 13, 2016: “We went through the music programs as four of us for the first time. We only made changes (to perform) as a four since two days ago so we’re still really confused and made mistakes. I was so worried. As soon as we got down from the stage, the members let out all the tears they had been holding back. Today was so depressing.”


It was said that Naeun’s diary was from 2016 and contained a calendar with stickers over the birthdays’ of her loved ones as well as her schedules. The contact numbers of her family and manager were written on the back as the girls did not have cellphones then. Naeun also stepped up to clarify the issue regarding the portion of her diary mistakenly revealed by her older sister. She explained that her entire diary had been filled with complaints about Hyunjoo’s alleged lies and two-faced actions for the month of February 2016, however, she had also written about her difficulties and emotional struggles in it. She claims that the members apart from Jinsol were all undergoing psychological treatment for the stress caused by Hyunjoo.

The reporter from Sports Kyunghyang asked the members about what had happened before Hyunjoo had left the group.

The agency was considerate of Hyunjoo who found dorm life difficult and allowed her to use her cell phone, as well as let her promote while going back and forth from her own home. However, we had it hard as Hyunjoo on the other hand, had cornered us as criminals. During the preparations for “Tinkerbell” around February to April 2016, Hyunjoo had made us out to be the perpetrators and things got serious, so we too were as tortured about it and we thought about making extreme choices every day.

Hyunjoo always claimed we stole something. However, looking at CCTV footage, we hadn’t even been at the location. One day, Hyunjoo suddenly said that she lost 100,000 KRW. She accused the maknae Jinsol of it as she used the same room as her, and she claimed that Jinsol would have it in her pockets or something and ransacked Jinsol’s back pockets, resulting in her sitting on the floor crying out of shame. She asked us to check all our bags as well so we did. It felt as if we were being stripped naked. We didn’t have human rights. We couldn’t take it. Checking the dorm CCTV and the CCTV outside the dorm, we couldn’t find anything like it.

— APRIL


The APRIL members furthered claimed that similar happenings had also occurred and that Hyunjoo had always made the members out to be criminals. APRIL claimed that Hyunjoo once accused Yena and Jinsol of tripping her and hitting her in the practice rooms, but it was not found on the CCTV. She then supposedly changed her statement to that it happened in front of the washrooms, but similarly, no CCTV footage was found. Another incident involving their clothes also happened.

There were sweats that were sold in basement shops for about 5000 KRW. It was navy and we all bought the same ones so we couldn’t tell whose was whose. I had worn the ones that my mom had put in my drawer for me but Lee Hyunjoo had said that it was hers. I thought that she was joking so I asked her why and she said that according to the length, it was hers. I had become someone that stole other people’s belongings again and everyone cornered me. I can’t express how I felt then. I thought that as long as this person exists, I would become a criminal. However, as such things happened frequently, later on, the members began to write numbers or initials on their personal belongings or underwear. Perhaps everyone was traumatized. Whenever we said, ‘let’s go eat’, she would say she didn’t want to then tell the agency that we left her out again. As this happened so often, we were scolded by the agency. Later on, we got neurosis and wanted to buy a recording machine.

— APRIL

The members further claimed that Hyunjoo had never spoken to them about the matters. She would allegedly always go to the agency first such that everyone would corner the members as criminals.

Lastly, the members explained why they thought that the bullying allegations came out.

We were scared because Lee Hyunjoo was always sick and skipped practice and was like a time bomb that could explode at any time. It’s true that we were cautious with every word we said. But as members, we tried to understand and take care of her and get along because we wanted to protect both APRIL and Lee Hyunjoo. We held a birthday party for Lee Hyunjoo in February 2016, before her leaving the group. This video was not filmed for the purpose of broadcasting and was actually just a birthday party video. We turned off all the lights and held a surprise party, and Lee Hyunjoo looked so happy as she blew out the candles. If she had been bullied and we were the bullies, we could not have had such a fun birthday party. At that time, we didn’t have money and I was receiving 50,000 KRW allowance from my mom. I went to the underground shopping center at Gangnam station to buy her shoes as a birthday gift and put in a letter that said, ‘I hope unnie is happy’ and put it in her locker. Later, Lee Hyunjoo wore those shoes when she appeared on The Unit. I felt so happy then. If I were the perpetrator who showed violence against her, would she have worn those shoes on the show?

— APRIL

As a final message to Hyunjoo, the girls had one thing to say.

Why are you forgetting the good memories with the members and only remembering the distorted memories… it’s so sad. Our seven years of hard work have just disappeared and even our families are being criticized and in great pain. APRIL received the title of ‘a group that inflicts bullying’ and even as time passed, our members are still living with the title of ‘bullying perpetrator’. I want to receive an apology from Lee Hyunjoo for making this situation, and I want her to make things right again with her own hands.

1. It's impossible to get along with everyone and you only realize this once you start living with them. This situation must be frustrating on both sides

2. I'm more scared of the fact that they actually have CCTVs inside their dorms... Do all girl groups usually have CCTVs inside their dorms??

3. Whining with their eyes closed... To be honest they wouldn't have came this far if only they apologized in the first place

4. Hul the interview is giving me goosebumps (they're purposefully creating a situation where Hyunjoo will have to apologize). These kids are devils. What kind of interview is this? They're so crazy. There are already plenty of proofs yet assailants will never change because they live in a lie all their livesㅋ Keep doing that but there are barely any people supporting you anymore. This is giving me so much goosebumps. They're just a bunch of psychopaths

5. Wow if I were them... Anyways if I did something that made the other party even consider suicide, I wouldn't be able to live a guiltless and peaceful life, how can they act like that?

6. A diary and consulting form their companyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ  How are these considered proofs?

7. It's clear that all those 4 people hated Hyunjoo 

8. What I still don't understand is that when you have a misunderstanding, usually, you wouldn't think "The other party is 100% at fault" rather "Did I do something that hurt them? If so I'm sorry"... No matter how big my ego is, I'd still feel sorry if I hurt someone. I'm not involved in their dispute, but the way they're releasing statement is just not it 

9. Looking at Hyunjoo's letter, it seems like she tried to resolve the misunderstanding but April keep saying that it wasn't bullying but looking at their proofs, you can see that Hyunjoo tried to resolve things too 

10. Didn't Lee Naeun write in her diary that she hates to be next to that person and that she wished they'd disappear? Was she really talking about Hyunjoo?????? She was clearly gossiping against someone in her diary, she must've mentioned Hyunjoo in her diary meanwhile her unnie was claiming she wasn't in the mindset to bully anyone, how is she going to refute this?


[theqoo] THE MYSTERY BEHIND APRIL'S PHONE




You can clearly see them use their personal phones in 2016

"April "It's been over 2 years that we haven't used on phone"
"Chaewon: I've been living without a cellphone so I'm feeling like I'm drawn to analog's vibe"

This was an article in 2017

"We didn't have a personal phone from 2015 before debut until September 2017"
"However, they gave us a phone from one point in time"

"I restored my phone from the debut days" 

???

1. Sigh ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just how far are they going with this? 

2. If they keep lying like that, it'll be hard to tell what's true behind their words

3. Do they realize how r*tarded they look right now?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. If they're going to release official statements like that, shouldn't they at least double check the content? What is this?ㅋㅋㅋ 

5. What the? ... 

6. This is just too funny. Are there even anyone who believes this? 

7. Stop lying already... 

8. Can they throw away their mouths?

9. The more you peel 

10. Do they enjoy lying this much?

[enter-talk] I'M LEE HYUNJOO'S YOUNGER BROTHER *TW SUICIDE*

Posted on March 02, 2021
Hello, this is Lee Hyunjoo nuna's little brother. 
I never thought that I would have to come here again to write this. 

But after seeing what nuna's company and April members' acquaintances have said and the despiteful texts that my parents received, I realized that they will not take any responsibility over this.

Because they failed to be specific about any of the reasons, my nuna is the only one who ended up looking like a weird person, so I am here to lay out all the concrete facts.

First of all, I will address the company's statement saying "at the time of APRIL’s formation, Hyunjoo wanted to be an actress, but after we persuaded her, she and her family agreed she would be part of the group".
However, my sister was already bullied before her debut during her trainee life. She has told the company many times that she will not make her debut with the team, but the company told her to take a few days off, think about it and eventually persuaded her to join. 

She thought that if she could go back to this process (t/n: of training), the bullying of the members will eventually get better. 
I still remember that the company sent her choreography videos and she didn't want to become a burden on the other members so she practiced alone in her room. 
This is why it's not that my sister said that she didn't want to become an actress, that she couldn't do it because of bullying. 

It was also said ‘Ever since her debut was confirmed, Hyunjoo hasn’t been able to faithfully participate in the team activities because she has been struggling with physical and mental problems.’ It was because the reality was so different from what she has originally pictured when she thought that by going back in the group, her bullying by the members would get better. 

Rather, it got way worse than before, and as she endured the frustrating situation on her own, she was conflicted with thoughts of not being able to go back with her own choice and having no shelter she could escape the pain even for a while. As she endured all this, her body abnormalities started to surface more and more. 

Then, during the schedules and practices, my sister often passed out on the way to work, and members and managers who knew that she was sick did not take her to the hospital in those instances, rather, they just left my nuna in her state.

Eventually, she suffered from shortness of breath and a lot of pain, so she worked hard to visit as many hospitals as she could to receive treatment.

Moreover, if she eats those medications, she would often fall asleep, so in order to fulfil her promotions, schedules and practices, she wouldn't take any of her medications to not interfere with them. 

With these hardships considered, if they still claim that my nuna wasn't sincere, how was my nuna who wasn't even able to live like a normal person supposed to do...?
I just want to convey how cool my nuna was to be able to endure all this and how sorry I felt towards her

The company also said "Everyone was going through rough times, and based on the circumstances at the time, it was clear that no one could be considered a perpetrator or victim." Which is utterly not right. 
 
Whether it's bullying or harassment, my nuna has told the company about all of it many times. I can share all of the things that was said phrase by phrase, but if they have at least a minimum sense of guilt, I bet that the April members are all aware of what happened back then.

So please admit it and apologize.
We can clearly distinguish who is the perpetrator and who is the victim here. 

In addition, it was said, ‘Hyunjoo ultimately expressed that she wanted to leave the group during the “Tinkerbell” promotions. We tried to dissuade her, but she was adamant.’ Here again, there are way too many things omitted. 

When nuna was in the hospital, the hospital told the company that it would only hurt her more if she decided to continue promoting with April members as it is, and the company asked my nuna to decide whether to stay with the team or leave altogether.

My nuna told them to let her take a break for a few months, but the company said it wasn't possible, so she ultimately decided to withdraw.
However, through the company's persuasion, she ended up promoting Tinker Bell with them once again.

At that time, the bullying was getting worse and worse and my nuna couldn't bear it anymore. She just wanted to run away from it.
She couldn't cope with the hardships of living with them in their dorms, so she slept on the floor of the company lounge, showered at the company, and promoted Tinker Bell like that. 

The schedule ended and nuna came back to my family's hometown and cried loudly and talked about the events that had happened all this time.

On that same day, someone left rotten kimbap in [the group's] car's seat, she had to clean it up and spray perfume in it because of the bad smell and the members who came in the car later with the manager all started complaining about the smell, got angry and swore at her. 

After experiencing all these overwhelming things, my nuna couldn't bear with it anymore so she tried to commit suicide.
Even so, the company came all the way to the hospital to look for my nuna and told her that "we have a schedule today, let's go".
My sister told them that she couldn't do any of this anymore and decided to leave the team at that moment.

The company sent us a flower wreath with money and even a letter apologizing so there is no way that the company nor the members aren't aware of this.

However, all of these facts were omitted in their official statement and anyone can misunderstand that my nuna was the one who lacked sincerity so she became a burden to the team and acted like a troublemaker. 

And seeing that the company made a second statement about this, I just had so much to say.

First of all, there was another person who was secretly getting bullied before my nuna arrived. My nuna knew about the victim and she was the one wo took care of her. And the reality is that it's because of that that the bullying grew since then. 

And I can remember vividly what my nuna's tumbler looked like.
It was a red tumbler gifted by my deceased grandmother, and my nuna's name tag was on it.

[The company] claiming that there were around 40-50 tumblers in their dorm is simply ridiculous. 

And I don't know whether it was cheonggukjang or soybean paste that was put in her tumbler, but instead of apologizing, the members just told her "can we just buy you another one and get over with it?" and they told my sister to eat it and put it back at its place.

However, the tumbler was left in the refrigerator for a long time, so the employee of the company scolded her after seeing her name written on the tumbler, and eventually my nuna was the one who had to clean the refrigerator. 

Regarding the shoe case, it's true that the shoes were gifted to the members by the company.

There were a total of six pairs, one pair per member, and the member and nuna's shoes were of different designs.
Because the sizes were relatively the same, the members got to choose the shoes first and my nuna ended up with the leftovers. 

However, from a certain moment onwards, a certain member was seen always wearing my nuna's shoes. My nuna asked the member about it since it looked like her shoes and the member said that she bought it. 

So when my nuna asked if she could check the shoes since she labelled it with her name, she found out that it was actually her shoes. 

What I want to say is that it is not a simple happening that happened due to misunderstanding.
She hasn't even received a proper apology, and there were instances like that that happened so often that I can't write all of them down. 

The fact that the company stated they didn't know all the swears and the kind of life she left before the broadcast(?) just make them look like bystanders. 

As mentioned above, my nuna and my family have complained about her bullying and suffering to the company several times.

If they claimed they didn't know about this, then who was bullying my sister?
If there were no perpetrators, why did my nuna have to suffer alone all this time?
Please reflect on yourself and apologize.

And it's true that the manager who lived with her was just a spectator.
After taking an extreme decision, my mom went to the company and was told that the members were reflecting on it.
However, after holding her conversation with the company, on her way out, my mom saw the members and the members didn't even greet her and just laughed at her. 

At that time, the company said that they would send the members to our house to apologize, but upon their apology, they never told my mom they would reflect and didn't apologize for harassing my nuna either. Even though they knew about my nuna's hardship, they didn't even apologize for it. They didn't greet my mom at the company so my mom said that she didn't want to accept the apology.

I'm so upset that all of this made my nuna look like a fool in the end.

Ever since she was young, my nuna loved singing, dancing and acting, she wanted to become a celebrity and appear on TV and worked so hard towards her goal. I was so proud to see her be able to realize her dreams.

But when I found out what my nuna went through, I became so mad, but I was so young back then that I couldn't think of any ways to help her. 

Even now, my nuna makes me so proud of her.
And all I feel is regret for not being able to help her. 

My nuna still feels sorry towards my parents for her suicide attempt even now, but she's been "playfully" (t/n: a bit hard to translate 우스갯소리) mentioning that her dream is to stay healthy, and is working hard towards living a long fulfilling life. 
My nuna is a respected hero, a teacher and a parent-figure to me. 
I hope you learn  the truth through this so that my nuna can finally realize her dreams comfortably and not be hurt anymore.

I will attach my sister's hospital data at the bottom of the post.

(t/n: OP finishes the post saying how he doesn't want Hyunjoo to hurt anymore and that all she ever wanted was an apology. He warns agains secondary assault from the members. He also pleads to not re-open the painful memories for Hyunjoo)

Kids, please send me to the best comments. Drug intoxication means [Korean equivalent] and F190 is the disorder/illness code used in the event of suicide with mental and behavioral disorders caused by acute intoxication of multiple drug use and other psychoactive substances;

In the end everyone was aware of it, but they're still treating this case so shamelessly, which will end up hurting Hyunjoo and her family again... Even the acquaintances witness accounts were all true... Please apologize already and don't show yourself on TV anymore... I thank the dongsaeng gathered the courage to post again and please find strength. I hope you receive your apology
