Former member of the disbanded K-pop girl group Jewelry, Cho Min-ah, recently made startling revelations about her time in the group, shedding light on allegations of abuse and harassment. In a social media post on Saturday, Cho shared her experience of enduring symptoms of panic disorder during her tenure with the group from 2002 to 2005. She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support she has received since opening up about her struggles.
Contrary to circulating rumors, Cho clarified that she did not suffer from panic attacks since her early twenties. However, she disclosed that she had been subjected to years of bullying by her fellow Jewelry group members, creating a mentally draining environment. Cho bravely shared her ordeal, stating, "They were always smoking inside the van, and I felt like a human ashtray. I did my best to endure, fearing the consequences of speaking out. I pretended to get along with my group mates for fear of backlash. The situation deteriorated to the point where I couldn't even share the same vehicle with them, and I had to travel separately with the backup dancers. Resigning from the group was not an option."
Reflecting on her journey, Cho emphasized that time has allowed her to heal and regain strength. She offered words of support to others grappling with maintaining healthy relationships, cautioning that those who harm others rarely acknowledge the pain they inflict. Instead, they may deny or conveniently forget their actions. Cho encouraged victims to recognize their suffering and avoid holding onto false hopes of a sincere apology. She stated, "Closure may never come, so prioritize self-care and live your best life. Remember, it is not your fault."
Cho's courageous disclosure has ignited a conversation about the challenges faced by artists within the K-pop industry and the need to address instances of abuse and harassment. As more individuals come forward with their stories, it underscores the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for all artists, promoting mental well-being and fostering healthy relationships within the industry.
The revelations made by Cho Min-ah highlight the complex dynamics that can exist within K-pop groups and serve as a call to action for the industry to address these issues. It is crucial to ensure the well-being and dignity of all artists, while promoting a culture of empathy and accountability.
