Group April Yang Yena, Lee Jin-sol, Na-eun and Kim Chaewon have released a series of explanations for the controversy over former member Lee Hyunjoo outcast. They have refuted the allegations, including pointing out Lee Hyunjoo's unfaithful attitude, but are returning to self-help.
Kim Chaewon claimed in an official fan cafe entry on the 17th that Lee Hyunjoo neglected his pre-debut practice and did unexpected acts that did not appear until the end of rehearsal at the time of the live music program.
He then said: "I've always been with Lee Hyunjoo, rather I've tried to keep April while taking care of and soothing Lee Hyunjoo more. Lee Hyunjoo seems to make no sense that he was bullied alone. "
Yang Yena, In Na-eun and Lee Jin-sol also remained silent for a while before opening their mouths and denying the allegations. Yang Yena wrote on her Instagram account in April: "I felt Lee Hyunjoo always pushed us away. It was always our job to cope with the anxiety and fear that we do not know where to go. "
In Na-eun also said, "I wanted to say that I never really did. Through this, I learned the weight of the public figure. The answer was that I thought I should be more dignified. "
Lee Jin-sol said: "Lee Hyunjoo has rarely been in the practice room. It was almost all about meeting when I was scheduled, but it is part of me, but I am so sad to upload what I kept as memories of that time. "Lee Hyunjoo released a letter to him as evidence.
Their explanations surrounding the Lee Hyo outcast controversy have returned to the fire. Kim Chaewon claimed Lee Hyunjoo had funneled a "Music Bank" dry rehearsal in August 2015, shortly after his debut, but controversy erupted when the public's appearance of Lee Hyunjoo on stage on April's official Twitter account was revealed.
As the point continued, Kim Chaewon revised the date to September 11 and posted an additional entry: "This is a picture taken during a live waiting time of over an hour. I think you will know that taking a selfie does not take so long. "
Na-eun's sister also faced a backlash after posting a statement defending her brother. He said Lee Hyunjoo's allegations were not true, and shared some of the diaries he wrote in 2016 by then-Na-eun. However, in the back page of the diary, there was a content that seemed to shoot someone saying, 'It is dirty only with being together.' Some have speculated that the shooter is Lee Hyunjoo.
In addition, it was claimed that Na-eun's sister was a school violence perpetrator. His alumni A said, "I have no idea about your brother, but it is ridiculous and absurd to hit the shield on such an issue. You have to live quietly, "he left a warning message.
The netizens are still cold in the explanation of the April members. They responded that "they list only the reasons why they should hate Lee Hyunjoo", "it is outcast in front of the whole people" and "the contents are all similar as someone wrote".
Lee Hyunjoo previously confessed that he had been bullied by April members for three years from 2014 when he was preparing for his debut until he left the group in 2016. In addition, he also conducted legal proceedings against all employees of DSP Media, a former agency that exposed his personal life.
