Girl group member and label CEO under investigation for sexually harassing a trainee

A current girl group member Ms. Shin (27) and her label CEO Mr. Lee (38) are under investigation for sexual harassment. 

According to Seoul's Southern Regional Police Department, Mr. Lee called a new girl group trainee into his room and requested her to take off her clothes on April 7 of this year. He also reportedly gave an explanation, claiming the actions were necessary as she needs to learn how to sell sex for when she becomes a celebrity. 

Ms. Shin also aided in the process by agreeing with Mr. Lee, even taking off her clothes first and laying down on the bed.
