JDB Entertainment CEO Mr. A resigned immediately after private photos of him and a member of his agency's girl group were circulated.
Recently, several photos surfaced online showing Mr. A in intimate poses with girl group member Ms. B, including hugging on the street and walking together affectionately. Mr. A, who has recently made an appearance on MBC's reality show "Point of Omniscient Interfere," is reported to be a married man.
As the controversy spread, Mr. A stepped down from his position at JDB Entertainment and announced his intention to take legal action against the individual who took and disseminated the private photos.
According to reports, Mr. A filed a complaint with the Mapo Police Station in Seoul on the 16th, citing violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation) and the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes.
Ms. B, the girl group member involved in the scandal, has terminated her contract with the agency. It has been revealed that all members of the trio girl group to which Ms. B belonged have also parted ways with the company.
The girl group's agency stated, "After deep consideration of the recent incident, we have decided to terminate our contract with EFG Music, taking into account each artist's direction and emotional well-being. Ms. Mina has decided to graduate after discussions with the team and has since deactivated her activity accounts. Further discussions on the matter are challenging, and the company respects her decision."
