On October 19th (yesterday) The East Light's leader Lee Suk Chul gave a full testimony regarding the violence and abuse that he and his band members had suffered through.
Lee Suk Chul told the press —
"From 2015 through 2017, I was habitually hit by Yoon Young Il PD with a baseball bat.”
“I was constantly told that if I told my parents, he would kill me. My younger brother [and band member] Lee Seung Hyun was beaten while locked up in a studio on the 5th floor.”
Fellow member Lee Eun Sung bled many times after being beaten with a bat. The label's chief director Kim Chang Hwan did not prevent these actions, but only commented, 'Go easy'.
Director Lee Jung Hyun made us go on broadcasts with our wounds untreated.
My younger brother and bassist Lee Seung Hyun is currently receiving psychiatric treatment after developing trauma from these experiences."
