girlset stans’ hatred for katseye is greater than their supposed love for the group they claim to stan. most of them are just kpop stans who claim moral superiority for stanning a group that isn’t katseye lmao.
interesting how girlset stans (all 5 of them) try to silence anyone who calls out the company for basically causing a child to try to take her life. “it was the past” “it was a complicated situation” it’s the kpop DARVO playbook over and over again and yall keep falling for it
@L0CKET555 all this talk about katseye and so little about what the topic of this conversation is actually about (girlset stans’ lack of vocalization about mistreatment). your hatred of katseye is greater than your support for the group you claim to stan.
@L0CKET555 until the narrative was one you didn’t like. until jyp started the story that she was a selfish girl who only was looking out for a solo career rather than a victim of the company’s mistreatment. do you still support kg?
@L0CKET555 can you read? this is a new account for me (clearly, i have like less than 10 followers lmao) i said i have other pages where i do more activism work in the kpop community.
@L0CKET555 the whole point is that a large portion of eyekons are willing to have productive conversations about racial mistreatment and boycott based on that (myself included). girlset fans sweep the mistreatment under the rug and act like anyone else is crazy for even mentioning it.
She’s trying to express how femininity shouldn’t have to fit in a box and women can feel and be different things despite societal expectations and y’all talking about “she’s nonbinary” … Omg I would actually rather y’all tell me to get in the kitchen and make a sandwich
Hello,
This is The Seven Pact.
We are writing to express our deep disappointment regarding the continued inclusion of MADEIN & IKON in the "Sound in Colors" festival lineup.
We approached the festival organizers respectfully and provided documented information regarding the serious allegations surrounding 143 Entertainment and its CEO, Lee Yonghak. Despite the gravity of these allegations and the evidence presented publicly by the Hanbit Media Labor Rights Center, no action has been taken to reconsider the participation of the company.
For those unfamiliar with the case, the Hanbit Media Labor Rights Center held a press conference on April 29 to announce the filing of a criminal complaint against 143 Entertainment CEO Lee Yonghak. According to the victim, who was a minor under the age of 19 at the time, the CEO subjected them to verbal abuse, threats, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. The victim's family states that the CEO initially admitted wrongdoing and promised to step away from the victim, but later denied the allegations, broke those promises, and allegedly shifted blame onto the victim.
During the press conference, the victim's mother described months of trauma, pressure, and failed attempts to protect her child's dream of continuing activities as an idol. The victim's legal representatives confirmed that a complaint had been filed under South Korea's Act on the Protection of Children and Youth Against Sexual Abuse. The Hanbit Media Labor Rights Center also released recordings and written statements that they say support the victim's account, while former employees and industry advocates raised broader concerns regarding workplace misconduct, labor rights violations, and the treatment of young artists within the company.
The resulting situation led to severe emotional distress for the victim. Despite the victim's expressed desire to remain with the group and continue pursuing their dream as an idol, those efforts were unsuccessful. According to the victim's family, 143 Entertainment subsequently announced the victim's removal from the group, leaving them unable to continue activities.
In summary, this is not a minor controversy, nor is it a matter of online rumors. It is a case involving allegations of sexual abuse against a minor that has resulted in a formal criminal complaint, public testimony from the victim's family, and evidence presented by a recognized labor rights organization.
By choosing not to address these concerns or reevaluate the participation of 143 Entertainment, Sound in Colors sends a troubling message. While the festival has every right to make its own decisions, continuing to provide a platform to a company facing such serious allegations demonstrates a concerning lack of accountability and sensitivity toward victims of abuse.
We believe festivals and cultural events have a responsibility to uphold ethical standards and to consider the impact their decisions have on artists, fans, and survivors. When credible allegations involving the abuse of a minor are met with silence or inaction, it risks creating the perception that such concerns are secondary to commercial interests.
We urge Sound in Colors to reconsider its position and to reflect on the message it sends by continuing to associate with 143 Entertainment while these allegations remain unresolved. At a minimum, we believe the concerns raised by the victim, her family, her legal representatives, and the Hanbit Media Labor Rights Center deserve serious consideration rather than dismissal or indifference.
Until Sound in Colors addresses these concerns, its silence will continue to raise questions about the standards it applies when deciding what kind of companies are given a platform at its events.
@sound_in_colors
Sound In Colors take responsibility!
We demand the removal of 143 Entertainment artists, MADEIN and IKON, from the festival lineup in alignment with the boycott.

@L0CKET555 yeah i will, like i have with kg and kaylee. unlike you, i don’t have the attention span of a goldfish, so i’m able to remember mistreatment and keep advocating against that while still supporting the remaining members. still waiting to hear what you’ve done babe.
@L0CKET555 i have other blogs and accounts where i support the girls and create content around the two members who left, specifically advocating for boycotts against jyp and girlset. what have you done exactly? still waiting to hear.
it’s interesting how katseye’s brand is one of open sexuality and expressiveness and yet half the fandom is slutshaming manon for predebut modeling photos
@L0CKET555 and don’t even try with the “they’re ex-members,” half of your argument is about manon who is likely leaving after the mistreatment. so i don’t want to hear that pathetic excuse, because you can still care about a person even if they’re not in the group you stan.
@L0CKET555 y’all always point to kg when it’s convenient for you i.e. to keep supporting the group but where were you when she was going through the lawsuit? where was the fandom to support kg and kaylee, minors who went through literal hell? y’all dumped them like a sack of potatoes.
@L0CKET555 i like that even after all that yapping, you still haven’t done anything to show that you care that a minor tried to end her life. if y’all actually cared about the allegations (which you clearly don’t) you would say something. but your silence speaks volumes.
