Introduction

Fans are increasingly worried about the girl group MADEIN after a recent incident involving member Mashiro, who appeared on a live stream with unexplained bruises, raising eyebrows in the wake of serious allegations against the group’s CEO.

The Scandal Unfolds

The troubles began in November 2024 when former member Gaeun bravely came forward with shocking allegations of sexual assault against the CEO of their management company. In her devastating testimony, Gaeun claimed that the CEO pressured her for sexual favors after she expressed her desire to leave the group.

"I told him that it was my wish to leave the group after the round of activities [we were doing]. He asked that if he granted my wish, would I also grant his wish? He wanted me to be his one-day girlfriend," she recounted.

Escalation of the Situation

The situation escalated as Gaeun detailed how the CEO manipulated her into a non-consensual encounter, saying, "He asked if he could kiss me, but then he grabbed me and forced me to kiss him... I said no, but he kept doing this for two hours." Despite her courage to come forward, the company has denied the allegations and continues to support the CEO, furthering the tension among fans.

Impact on the Group

Following the uproar, Gaeun eventually departed from MADEIN, and the scandal has cast a shadow on the remaining members. Notably, another member was also mentioned in the allegations, with claims that the CEO had confessed his love for her on multiple occasions, highlighting a troubling pattern of behavior.

Concerns for Mashiro

Then, adding fuel to the fire, fans noticed that Mashiro, during a recent live stream, displayed multiple bruises on her arms. When a viewer pointed out a particularly worrying bruise, she attempted to cover it with an armband, prompting speculations about their origin. Many fans were quick to suggest that they appeared inconsistent with the group’s usual choreography, leading to fears about her wellbeing amidst the turmoil.

Fans' Reactions

The growing concern among fans has resulted in calls for accountability and transparency from the management company. Many are now actively participating in a boycott, demanding to know what is happening behind the scenes and to ensure the safety of their beloved idols.

Conclusion

Given the troubling allegations and the visible signs of distress among the members, fans are left wondering: how much longer can this situation continue without serious action and intervention? The future of MADEIN hangs in the balance as the public watches closely, determined to protect the group they cherish.
