The anonymous netizen who raised claims of trainee bullying against 'Boys II Planet' contestant Kim Geon Woo has posted new alleged "evidence" in the form of therapy notes.
Earlier this week on July 16 KST, an anonymous netizen accused Kim Geon Woo of receiving preferential treatment at 'Company B', an entertainment company where the audition program contestant spent approximately a year training to debut. According to the accuser, Kim Geon Woo knowingly abused his status as a "favored" trainee at 'Company B' by constantly berating the other trainees until they cowered in fear at his presence.
Following the accusations, Mnet assured viewers in an official statement, "We are currently confirming the facts regarding these accusations. We will uncover the exact details by not only contacting the accuser but also by consulting 'Company B' affiliates."
Meanwhile, an individual who identified themselves as a former director at 'Company B' also came forward a day after the initial accusations to defend Kim Geon Woo. According to the former director, there was no favoritism or preferential treatment at 'Company B'.
Now, the anonymous accuser has returned with new "evidence" to support the claims that Kim Geon Woo bullied other trainees at 'Company B'.
The "evidence" seemingly included written therapy notes, seemingly composed by the therapist, and including content such as:
"Patient is receiving treatment for multiple health problems.
The patient experiences frequent frustration and anger and cannot control their emotions. They suffer from severe stress, anxiety, and insomnia.
The patient is also stressed from their physical health problems, including migraines, back and neck pain, etc.
The patient is worried about their future and career. They have auditions coming up. The patient is concerned about getting into a bad company again after their experience at a company where the employees gave some trainees preferential treatment while unfairly firing others.
The patient has not been able to sleep after coming across the news that the trainee who used to bully them at their old company will appear on a high profile audition program. The patient feels anger and resentment, as if the world favors bad people."
Notably, the notes also specifically mentioned, "The patient feels stressed about Kim Geon Woo," dated June 9 KST.
In addition to the therapist notes, the accuser issued a new statement directed at Mnet, Kim Geon Woo, and the public, outlining their demands. Identifying themselves as a "group of victims", the accuser representative claimed,
"We wish for a proper statement from Kim Geon Woo, such as a rebuttal or an apology, as well as for his departure from the program.
We do not wish to blow this out of proportion. Should Kim Geon Woo claim innocence, it could then lead to a formal investigation which would mean the disclosure of my identity and personal information as well as the identities and personal information of many other trainees who spent those days with me. If this situation reaches that stage, it would inflict additional damages on the victims.
Let me reiterate that my reason for not wishing to take this matter to court has to do with preventing further damages on the other victims. If this case were to undergo a formal investigation, it could reveal the identities of numerous employees who simply watched the bullying unfold, not to mention the other trainees who went through similar experiences. I do not wish to hurt those who have moved on from this incident.
I can confidently say that I did not lie. To be honest, I'm afraid of what lies ahead and what additionally damages I may face. However, I will not back down and conceal the truth simply because the odds are not in my favor. I would like to take this opportunity to thank many of those who mustered up the courage to help me."
