SPIRE Leisure defined this as an event to hearken to Hwichan’s issues about his enlistment, nevertheless it is mindless that Hwichan shared issues forward of his enlistment when his warrant had not even been issued but. As well as, in response to the testimonies of the members and the previous supervisor who had been current on the time, it was Kang Sung Hee who demanded a personal assembly with Hwichan.
After the workers and different members excluding Hwichan left, Kang Sung Hee demanded extreme affectionate expressions and bodily contact from Hwichan, and as nobody else was current, Hwichan had no option to obey as he was terrified of the threatening phrases and verbal abuse or bodily assault that will happen if he didn’t comply. Regardless of SPIRE Leisure referring to this as “indecent act by compulsion,” the revealed CCTV footage doesn’t present any indicators of compulsion in Hwichan’s actions nor does it present refusal from the opposite particular person. It may be seen [through this footage] that there have been calls for by Kang Sung Hee who commonly compelled affectionate expressions and bodily contact and that there have been no expressions of refusal or indicators of compulsion as a result of they’re calls for she made herself.

Please perceive that that is merciless further hurt to deal with the efforts made by 11 younger people, who labored onerous to not lose sight of their desires after incomes a treasured second likelihood, to let the world know after withstanding the following verbal abuse and assault for a very long time as merely a “pretext” to go away the company.

They conclude by explaining that the Jaehan assault case in opposition to Kang Seong Hee has certainly been forwarded to the prosecution, and so they name on Spire to supply the complete CCTV footage from the day of the incident and the day following with the intention to get a full context of issues.

Once more, whereas the character of the costs dictate that they need to be taken critically, IPQ’s clarification matches the previous SPIRE CEO’s documented sample of habits. None of that is new, it’s been public for months, and now they’ve supplied much more proof for it. Maybe extra will emerge, or the complete video (if it’s ever revealed) will present one thing IPQ doesn’t anticipate, however in the intervening time it definitely seems to be like they revealed a specifically-edited, out-of-context video in a determined try to show public opinion in some way. And if it seems that’s the case, it sucks particularly unhealthy that she’s gone this route contemplating the already poisonous surroundings surrounding sexual crimes in Korea, particularly given her place as an government.
