It’s in Korean but here’s the translation I got by putting it through naver translate.
Lee Seok-cheol, a member of the band “The Eastlight,” made his position public in connection with the assault and verbal abuse.
A press conference was held yesterday morning at Cho Young-rae Hall, a lawyer at Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Lawyers Lee Seok-cheol and Jeong Ji-suk attended the press conference.
Lee Seok-cheol was a member of the Eastlight group. “I’m sorry and truly appreciate you coming today,” he said. “The Eastlight members were habitually beaten by the media line PD between 2015 and 2015. “I was regularly threatened with death if I told my parents.”
“Lee Seung-hyun said, “There is a fact that PD Lee Seung-hyun suffered a bruise due to his thighs, arms and hair being hit in the studio. Vocal Korean singer Lee Eun-sung was also hit on the head and bleeding, explained the situation.
Kim Chang-hwan, chairman of the party`s ruling party, said, “Keep your life alive even after witnessing such assaults.” The representative made an appearance on the air without treating the wound. Lee Seung-hyun also added, “I am receiving mental treatment for trauma.”
A media outlet reported on Thursday that Kim Chang-hwan, chairman of Media Line Entertainment, abused members of the group The East Wright, and that his producer, A, assaulted members. He added that he was constantly verbally abused and abused from 2015 until recently.
Medialine Entertainment stated in its official position on the same day, “It was only a year and four months ago that some of the Eastlight producers have not been in the process of guiding and educating their members, and that has since been resolved through conversations.” Currently, the producer feels full responsibility for his mistake and has offered to resign to the company to fix it.
Meanwhile, the East Right (Lee Eun-sung, Lee Woo-jin, Jeong Sa-gang, Lee Seok-cheol, Lee Seung-hyun, and Kim Joon-wook) made their debut with the digital single ‘holla’ in 2016.
Thank you for this translation Ra. And I’m just so utterly sad to read this. That such horrific stuff 2qs happening behind the scenes makes me look at their performances and music in a new light. I hope they are able to recover from this experience and return to music. Well done, Lee Seok Chul for talking about it.
I don’t think I’ll be able to listen to their old music anymore knowing that that evil producer helped make it and knowing how much they must’ve suffered while making it 😥 I’m amazed that they were able to seem so happy in front of the cameras and on stage while all this was happening. They always seemed so happy, I thought their company must be taking good care of them. I’m horrified now to realize what was really happening. I hope that if they want to continue with music that a good company will adopt them and treat them better. Are there really any good kpop companies though??? ๐ค
Totally agree that the CEO and producer need to be in jail.

Does anyone know how much it costs to buy out six super talented kids’ contracts and start a kpop company? I really want to protect these kids 😥💛

What is their average age? They are so young!!! I thought the news was about a boy group aged between 17-21.

Good thing this is an old photo – they all look to be about 10 years old in this pic.

I kind of found the answer to my question. Basically, a ton of money.
