Let's Talk Kim Woojin...

by - September 11, 2020


Hi Everyone,

So because of my schooling and my schedule, I am not able to do a lot of song reviews, despite the great songs that have come out recently. However, I didn't want to leave my viewers with no content, so I decided to make a different style post. Let's talk Kim Woojin.

(Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault — I will try to keep this post as family-friendly as possible, however, if you are sensitive when it comes to this topic, please stop reading this post now..)


INTRO

If you've been on Stan Twitter Recently, (I haven't, because Stan Twitter is a no-no from me, but I digress.) you should've heard about the whole Woojin situation with the sexual assault, his new company and all that. So, that's what I'm going to talk about today, so without further ado, let's get into it.


SEXUAL ASSAULT

Screenshots & Evidence


Recently, an account on Twitter made some posts on Twitter about things that happened with Woojin at a bar. Here are some of the posts.

As you can see from these claims, the Twitter user said that they were out with their friends in a bar and Woojin was there.

Apparently, he wanted to talk but the Twitter User and their friend said no. Despite this, Woojin didn't want to hear this.

Apparently, he even groped the Twitter User and their friend.

From the tweets above you can see that the Twitter User said that Woojin used his status as a boy group member to try and get with the Twitter User and their friend. Even though Woojin isn't a member of a boy group anymore.

In the tweets above, you can see how the encounter with Woojin really affected the Twitter User.

If you want any more information, there are a few videos online, or you can closely read the Twitter Posts above.

If you want my opinion on this, then skip down to the 'My Opinion' Section.

Until then, let's move on.


WOOJIN'S APOLOGY




After this series of tweets, it seems like Woojin realised and decided to put out a statement. This is what it said:

"Hello. This is Woojin Kim. Today, I am going through an absurd situation.. I am posting a post to inform the fans of the current status of both merit and merit. Someone on Twitter posted weird rumours and deleted my account.. I haven't met him, and I haven't been to the places mentioned. Fans must have been surprised a lot, but don't worry too much because it's not true. And, I recently signed a contract with a company I like, and I am preparing hard for my solo activities. The company is planning to take action against the spreaders of false facts and the company will respond afterwards, so don't worry too much. Then I'll give you another news. Thank you. "

Let's just say, fans were not too impressed, but I'll get to that in the 'My Opinion' Section.


FAKE COMPANY


If you thought the situations above was all, no, it isn't.

In the statement above, Woojin mentions how he's joined a new K-Pop Company, 10X Entertainment. So, fans decided to take a look at it. And it seems like, 10X Entertainment has an Instagram, Twitter, and a beautiful website.


Also, it seems like 10X Entertainment put out a statement about the current situation. You can check it out down below.

"Hello. This is 10x Entertainment. We are going to take legal action against the false malicious rumors surrounding our artist Kim Woojin. Before proceeding with the legal action, we release the photos to prevent fans from misunderstanding. (Photo 1) Photo taken on March 10th, posted on the artist's Instagram on April 29th (Photo 2) Photo taken at around 1 A.M on April 29th, a photo of accessories at home (to prove that he was at home at that time) 10x Entertainment has confirmed it with our artist and will actively respond to the spread of malicious false information and defamation against the artist with additional evidence. We will do our best to prevent damage to artist Kim Woojin and his fans. In addition, if you send us related data such as SNS links and PDF files that have been posted on the artist to our mail (report@10x.so), we will proceed with additional legal action based on the data. Thank you."

So, think of this statement what you will, but if you want to hear my opinion on this whole situation, then skip to the 'My Opinion' Section of this post.


MY OPINION

So, now for the section that you've probably all been waiting for, my opinion on this whole situation.

Well, just to get this out of the way, I did not know Woojin while he was still in the group, I only found out about him after I got into Stray Kids, y the time I started Stanning SKZ Woojin had already left. So, I might not share the same disappointment and betrayal as others. So with that being said, what dod I think of this situation?

Well, to be honest, I am in shock. I knew that this year was a wreck already, but I didn't think it was this bad.


Sexual Assault Situation

First of all, right now I'm not on anyone's sides.

Yes, what the Twitter User says could be true, but it could be false as well.

If what they say is true then I am kind of (kind of is an understatement if I'm being honest) disgusted. I mean, a K-Pop Idol that so many people looked up to and still look up to today is doing this when the cameras are turned off.

I know nothing has been confirmed yet, but this is why people say that we don't know our idols. It's because we don't know them at all. And I'm pretty sure I don't need to mention any other scandals that prove this.

So, about this situation, I hope it gets cleared up the soon, and at the moment, I am not picking sides.


Woojin's Apology

Okay, now for Woojin's apology.

To me, his apology was almost a joke. I found it funny how many recreations of Woojin's apology there were online.

But honestly, the way Woojin 'apologised' for this situation was not it.

Calling a situation where someone admits to being sexually assaulted 'absurd'. And then proceeding to promote yourself and your 'company' in the same post. That is honestly so disappointing.

If you want to address a situation this serious then at least have some respect. This isn't something that you can just brush off and forget by mentioning your solo activities.

Honestly, I hope that with whatever confirmation about this situation we get, Woojin will give a better statement.


Fake Company

Now, this is a topic that makes me laugh. Woojin's supposed company.

This situation is a whole mess in itself.

First, we have the website, and then the name, and then the statement that the company put out.

First of all, The name and logo for his website.

So, I'll try to keep this brief, but it seems as if the name and logo for 10X Entertainment are not exactly original.

The name I'm not so worried about because companies can have the same name without it being plagiarism, it's just the logo. Apparently, the logo is the same as an online furniture store. This is a little bit fishy because I don't think it's that easy to create the exact same logo as another company. But anyways...

The website. If you saw the screenshot above, you know what the website looks like, and let' just say, for an entertainment company it's not very impressive.

So, as a person with a blog, I know that Notion is an option for making websites, they just won't look as polished, since it is only a notetaking app. However, In my opinion, if an entertainment company has the funds to even open up an entertainment company in the first place, then maybe they should make some money to pay for a Wix account.... (Also, what point were '10X Entertainment' trying to get across with that emoji?...)

Anyways, we don't actually know if Woojin's company is real, or if it's just an attempt to cover for himself. But if it's the second option, then, it didn't work. Whatsoever.

This whole situation has made me tempted to make an actual website for 10X Entertainment, but I'll leave that for another day.


So, what is my overall opinion on this situation? Well, I did not know so much could happen over the span of a few days, but I guess I know now.

Honestly, I just wish the best for everyone who was either involved or involuntarily dragged into this situation. I really hope that things will end well. But until then, we'll see what happens...

Stay Safe Everyone,

Ciao xx
