We know this is long, but we are at our wits end with the amount of blatant apathy the company has shown for Lee Know, so please bear with us until the end of this tread.
The treatment Lee Know has received from the company has always been unacceptable, but these past few months have surpassed the limits. We are sad to see how much has happened in the span of weeks. We keep forgetting just how much Lee Know has to endure and how much workplace harassment he's suffering. Last week stays finally got enough of the treatment and started being loud about how wrong @jypnation and @stay_support actions were against Lee Know, and the company twisted everything, to make everyone forget just how bad everything is. All the proof provided here was gathered by a group of stays and Leeknowers that sent it to us.
Everytime we make big requests to the company, our requests seem smaller, the first time it was that his solo content be the same as the rest of the members; with time we saw the situation got worse and the second time we simply asked to treat Lee Know as a member of the group, giving him lines and stop cutting his parts on live presentations; that again didn't happened, and things got even worse, now we just ask for Lee Know to be respected, protected, and treated as a human being. We are deeply saddened by how much he has to endure in that company knowing his renewal is just starting, so we really are trying to keep a positive outview expecting things to change, because that treatment is, in our eyes, psychological abuse.
As some of you may have seen or heard, there is a video of a sasaeng allegedly calling and leaking Lee Know's phone number. His answer was very clearly uncomfortable. Please, don't share the video, even with the number covered, it's an invasion of privacy. We won't share the video or the number for obvious reasons. This isn't the first time Lee Know's information got leaked. The first time this occurred, it was by individuals who worked directly with JYPEnt, putting his entire family in danger. We speculated that the contract with this company was terminated, but no public apology or statement was made by JYPEnt, nor was there any public mention of legal action. This time, the leak came from a sasaeng that had shared the information previously, but this time it gained more attention. In any of the cases the company stood up against such actions. It seems that Lee Know’s security is often disregarded, which only encourages others to believe they can infringe on his privacy. We expect a statement or at least a threat of legal action this time, as this cannot continue and the company cannot act as if nothing is wrong.
