The article discusses the allegations of sexual harassment and other forms of abuse made by two former trainees, Elin and Miyu, against a K-pop entertainment company. The allegations include claims that the staff member who allegedly touched them inappropriately also installed CCTV cameras in the female dormitory and practice rooms, which was done without their knowledge or consent.

The police initially dropped the case, citing a lack of evidence, but Elin has since registered a separate case against the company for breach of contract. Miyu still dreams of becoming an idol, despite her experiences.

The article highlights the challenges faced by women in the K-pop industry, including the language barrier and unfamiliar legal system. It also raises questions about the responsibility of companies in promoting their K-pop training programs on social media, especially when allegations of abuse are made.

The company has denied all the allegations, but Elin's lawyers say that she is looking to appeal against the decision. The incident highlights the need for greater accountability and protection for women in the entertainment industry.

Overall, the article provides a detailed account of the allegations made by two former K-pop trainees and raises important questions about the safety and well-being of young women in the industry.
 
OMG, this is soooo messed up 😱🚫! I mean, who installs CCTV cameras in girls' dorms without their consent? That's just gross & totally unacceptable 🤢! And to think they're saying it was all a big misunderstanding... like, no way! 🙅‍♀️ These two girls are still dealing with trauma from these experiences and I hope Elin's lawyers can get justice for her 💪!

It's so unfair that women in the K-pop industry have to deal with language barriers & unfamiliar laws 🤦‍♀️. They should be able to focus on their passion without all this drama 😩! And companies need to take responsibility for promoting these programs, especially when there are allegations of abuse... it's not just about the trainees, but also the other girls who might be affected 🤝!

Miyu still wants to become an idol? That's so inspiring 💖! Maybe we can all support her and Elin in getting justice & moving forward 💪🌟
 
I'm telling you, this K-pop thing is super sketchy 🤔. These trainees are basically being groomed for stardom, but at what cost? Elin's case is just the tip of the iceberg - I bet there are more people coming forward with similar stories. And don't even get me started on those CCTV cameras in the female dormitory... that's just plain creepy 🚫. It's like they're watching them 24/7, waiting for them to slip up so they can exploit them further.

And have you noticed how the company is denying all allegations? That's suspicious if I've ever seen it 😒. I think there's more to this story than meets the eye. Maybe the police just didn't want to rock the boat, or maybe there's some other reason why they dropped the case. Elin's lawyers are definitely on the right track by appealing against that decision... we need more people like them fighting for justice 🙌.
 
I'm not sure why all these allegations are coming out now 🤔... maybe it's just a case of some people trying to get attention? I mean, think about it, if someone does report something like this, there's always gonna be someone who doesn't wanna believe 'em or thinks they're just trying to tarnish the company's rep. And what about Miyu, she's still into K-pop despite all this? That takes a lot of guts and resilience 💪. The language barrier is a big problem too, can't expect people from all over the world to speak the same language... how do they even know if someone's being abused or not? 🤷‍♀️
 
just can't believe what's going on in k-pop right now 🤯. these allegations are super serious and it's about time someone spoke out against this kind of behavior 😡. i mean, installing cctv cameras in a female dorm without consent? that's just creepy and wrong 👀. and to think they're still promoting their training programs on social media like nothing's happening 🤷‍♀️. it's not cool that the police dropped the case initially because of lack of evidence, but i'm glad elin is speaking out and taking action 💁‍♀️. the industry needs to take responsibility for protecting its own and making sure these kinds of things don't happen again 🚫. and can we talk about how hard it must be for women in k-pop to navigate a language barrier and unfamiliar legal system? 💔 it's not just about the abuse, it's about the systemic issues that allow this kind of thing to happen 🤝.
 
OMG, this is so not okay 🤕! I'm literally shook just thinking about Elin's experience... being touched inappropriately while she was sleeping and then having CCTV cameras installed without her knowledge? That's some serious freaky stuff 😳.

And can we talk about how the police initially dropped the case because of a lack of evidence? Like, what even is that? 🤷‍♀️ We need to do better than that! It's not just Elin's case, it's all the other women who might be going through similar stuff and are too scared to speak up.

The language barrier and unfamiliar legal system can't be an excuse for this 😡. K-pop companies should be held accountable for promoting their training programs on social media without considering the potential consequences of abuse. We need to create a safer space for these young women to pursue their dreams 🎉.
 
I'm low-key shocked by this news 🤯. I mean, who would install CCTV cameras in a female dormitory without anyone's consent? It's just so invasive and creepy 😒. And to think that these girls were being trained to be idols, not treated like humans 🤷‍♀️. The language barrier and unfamiliar legal system are definitely contributing factors here, but companies need to step up their game too 💼.

I love that Elin is speaking out and taking action against the company for breach of contract 💪. And Miyu's still got hope, which is amazing ❤️. We need more stories like this to bring attention to these kinds of issues, so we can work towards creating a safer and more supportive industry 🌟.
 
omg this is so crazy 🤯 I've seen so many stories about K-pop idols having mental health issues or struggling with body image, but this takes it to a whole new level. I feel for Elin and Miyu, they went through so much and it's not right that the police didn't take action sooner 🙄. And can you believe they installed CCTV cameras in the dormitory?! that's just creepy.

I'm glad Elin is speaking out and fighting for herself, but it's also crazy to think about how many others might be going through this without anyone knowing or doing anything about it 🤷‍♀️. The language barrier must make things even harder for them, especially when trying to navigate the legal system.

anyway, I think this is a major wake-up call for the K-pop industry and their fans. companies need to take responsibility for promoting these programs and making sure everyone is safe and treated with respect 🌟. let's hope Elin gets justice and that other girls in similar situations can find support and protection 💕
 
omg can u believe this?! 😱 they just dropped the case without even giving those girls justice! i'm literally shaking with rage thinking about what happened to elin and miyu 🤯 it's not okay that a company would take advantage of their trust like that. and now they're trying to cover it up by denying everything? please 😂 like who doesn't know when they've messed something up?

and can we talk about the language barrier for a sec?! it's so unfair that these girls had to navigate an entire industry without being able to speak the language fluently 🤷‍♀️ it's not just K-pop, it's life. and then you add on top of that this whole 'cctv cameras in the dorms' thing... i mean what even is that?!

i'm so inspired by elin taking matters into her own hands though 💁‍♀️ she's not giving up, and that's something we can all learn from 🙌 let's hope justice finally gets served on these girls.
 
🚨 This whole thing is just so messed up 🤕 I mean, can you even imagine being in a situation where you're trying to pursue your dreams as an idol, but instead you're dealing with all this crap? It's like they're taking advantage of these young women and exploiting them for the sake of entertainment. The fact that the staff member was installing CCTV cameras without their knowledge is just insane 😱 and the language barrier doesn't make it any easier for them. It's a whole different world when you don't speak the same language as everyone else, let alone navigating the complex legal system. And now Elin's lawyers are saying she's looking to appeal against the decision? That's like so frustrating 💔. I think companies need to take responsibility for promoting their training programs on social media and having some kind of system in place to prevent this kind of thing from happening. It's not just about protecting these women, it's also about setting a good example for everyone else. 🌟
 
Omg this is so crazy!! 🤯 I mean, I've heard of K-pop but I don't know how it works... like do you have to audition or something? 😂 And what's with all these dorms for trainees? Sounds super intense. Also, why did the police drop the case if they didn't have enough evidence? 🤔 Is that just a normal thing in K-pop? My friend has been trying to get into acting and she said it was really tough too... like what kind of contracts do people sign and what's with all the drama? 🤷‍♀️ I don't think my mom would handle any of this, haha. What can be done to help these girls who are going through this? Should they be more protected or something? 🤔
 
lol what's with these K-pop companies think they can just hire anyone & expect them to put up w/ abuse 🤷‍♀️? I mean, it's not like they're making some magical girl food or something. These girls are supposed to be trainees, not test subjects! 😒 And now they're trying to brush it off because of a lack of evidence? That's not how justice works, fam. The company needs to step up & take responsibility for what happened. And btw, can we talk about the fact that these trains are living in dorms with cameras w/ no consent? That's straight-up creepy 🤯.
 
OMG I'm still shook by this whole thing 🤯. Like, how can an entertainment company just deny everything without even acknowledging that it might be true? And what's up with them promoting their training programs on social media without giving any thought to the potential consequences? It's like, they're trying to attract new trainees but also potentially attracting predators 🚫. I'm so glad Elin's looking to appeal, maybe she'll get some justice 💪. We need more cases like this to expose the darker side of K-pop and push for real change.
 
🚨💔 The question isn't who is telling the truth, but whose truth matters. - Noam Chomsky 💬😕

This situation is a harsh reminder that power can be abused and exploited for personal gain, especially when it comes to vulnerable individuals like trainees in the K-pop industry. The lack of transparency and accountability from the company is alarming.

It's essential to acknowledge the struggles faced by women in this industry, including language barriers, cultural expectations, and limited access to resources. The fact that Miyu still aspires to become an idol despite her traumatic experiences speaks volumes about the resilience of the human spirit.

Companies must take responsibility for promoting their training programs on social media and ensuring a safe environment for their trainees. The law can only do so much; it's up to the industry leaders to create a culture of accountability and respect.
 
🤕 I'm so worried about these two girls who went through this trauma 🙏. The fact that they had to live in a dorm with hidden cameras is just insane 😱. It's like, what kind of company does that? They're supposed to be teaching them how to perform and grow as artists, not exploit them 💔.

I mean, it's no wonder Elin decided to take action against the company for breach of contract 📝. She deserves justice and support 🤗. And Miyu, she's still got her dreams, which is amazing 💫. We should all be rooting for her 🌟.

The industry needs to step up its game when it comes to protecting its artists 🚨. Companies need to be held accountable for their actions, and the government should provide more support for those who've been through this kind of abuse 💪. It's time for a change 🔥.
 
🤔 It's disconcerting to see how prevalent abuse is in the K-pop industry, particularly for female trainees 🚨. The notion that these young women were subjected to unwanted physical contact while under contract raises significant concerns about their rights and well-being 👩‍💼. The fact that they had to endure this without knowledge or consent is disturbing and unacceptable 😔.

The company's decision to install CCTV cameras in the dormitory and practice rooms without informing the trainees is a red flag 🚫, highlighting the need for greater transparency and accountability 💡. It's also crucial to acknowledge the language barrier and unfamiliar legal system that these women face, which can exacerbate their vulnerability 🌎.

The incident raises important questions about the responsibility of companies in promoting their K-pop training programs on social media 📱. By doing so, they inadvertently create a platform for potential abuse to thrive 💥. It's essential that companies prioritize the safety and well-being of their trainees and ensure that they have access to adequate support systems 🤝.

Ultimately, this incident underscores the need for greater accountability and protection for women in the entertainment industry 👩‍💪. We must create a safer and more equitable environment for these young women to pursue their passions without fear of exploitation or abuse 💕.
 
🤕 I mean, can you believe this is still happening in 2025? It's like something out of a bad dream from the early 2000s when I was watching those old SBS variety shows with my siblings 📺👧. The thought that these young women are going through this and nobody's doing anything about it is just heartbreaking 💔.

I remember when I first started using YouTube in 2010, there were so many videos out there that had been uploaded by fans of K-pop idols. Now, I feel like those same fans would be the ones coming forward to expose these companies for their wrongdoings 📹. It's crazy how technology has changed everything.

The thing is, if something like this happened when I was in school, I'm pretty sure my parents would've known about it and dealt with it immediately 👪. But now, it seems like these companies are getting away with it because they have the resources to fight back 💸. It's all so frustrating 😡.

I do hope Elin gets justice for what she went through, though 🤞. She deserves better than that. And I think we should all be supporting her and raising awareness about this issue on our social media accounts 📱. We can't just sit back and let these companies get away with abuse 😴.
 
K-pop companies gotta be held accountable 💯📹 They're making millions off idols but can't protect them from abuse? Not cool 😒 CCTV cameras in dorms? That's just creepy 🤢 Elin's still got a case going, hopefully justice is served ⚖️
 
🤔 This whole situation is just so messed up 🙅‍♀️... I mean, can you imagine walking into your 'dream' job and being treated like that? 😷 It's not just Elin who was affected, but all those other girls who might be going through the same thing without speaking out 💬. Companies gotta step up their game when it comes to hiring and training staff 🤝... installing CCTV cameras in a dorm without consent is, like, totally unacceptable 🚫. And yeah, language barriers can be tough, but that's no excuse for abuse 💔. We need more support for these girls who are brave enough to speak out against the industry they love 😊. Let's hope Elin wins her appeal and this incident sparks some real change 🔓💪
 
🤔 I'm telling you, this isn't just about some random harassment allegations... there's more to it than that. Think about it, why did the police drop the case? Was it because they were under pressure from the company or was it because they didn't have enough evidence? 🤷‍♀️ It seems suspicious to me.

And what really gets my attention is that Elin is still pursuing her claim against the company despite them denying everything. That's not right, you know? Companies like this should be held accountable for their actions. I mean, can you imagine if a company did something like this in your own neighborhood? The outrage would be instant 🚨.

It's also interesting to note that Miyu is still chasing her K-pop dreams despite what happened to her. Does she not know the risks involved in this industry? It's like they're trying to silence her or cover up their wrongdoings 🤐. I'm all for a good conspiracy theory, and this one just keeps getting more interesting... 👀
