Forced by the Agency to Perform an Overly Sexy Concept, Former Stellar Member Gayoung Still Traumatized - Frequently Experiences Sexual Harassment

Kapanlagi.com - Gayoung, who was once a member of the group Stellar, returns to the screen after 3 years of leaving the entertainment industry in a new program titled Miss Back. In this show, which airs on MBN, Gayoung sheds tears as she recounts the suffering she still faces to this day.

As is known, Stellar is a girl group that is closely associated with a sexy image, both in terms of clothing and on-stage appearances. In fact, in one of their comebacks, the members wore tight clothing that showcased their body curves from head to toe.

Since performing a sexy concept forced by the agency, the Stellar members have faced all kinds of hatred and inappropriate sexual harassment, including Gayoung. Through this program, Gayoung, who only wants to be respected as a singer because of her talent, hopes to get a second chance that she deserves.

Not only when she was still active as an idol, Gayoung still deals with sexual harassment through social media DMs even after leaving the entertainment industry. Gayoung revealed that she now works part-time at a cafe, but she still often receives inappropriate messages because of her past in the K-Pop industry.

"I still receive genital photos and messages asking if I'm interested in being 'sponsored'," Gayoung said as quoted from Koreaboo.

Surprisingly, Gayoung also admitted that she still experiences trauma from being forced to wear revealing clothes during her time in Stellar. Until now, this former idol born in 1991 refuses to wear short clothes no matter how hot the weather is.

"I'm traumatized because I only wore short clothes while I was with Stellar. So I only wear long clothes even in the middle of summer. I hate it when people look at my legs," she said.
