‘Monstar’ Responds to the Accusations of Sexual Harassment

‘Monstar’ Responds to the Accusations of Sexual Harassment

‘Monstar‘ responds to an extra’s accusations of sexual harassment against a manager Mr. Cha.

Cable music drama ‘Monstar‘ has recently faced some negative spotlight with a lawsuit being filed against one of the managers, who was in charge of overlooking the extras and supporting actors.

The controversy sparked when the extra wrote about being sexually harassed by the manager in charge of the supporting actors and extras on set on an internet community on June 30th. The post has since been deleted, but it has been revealed that the extra has filed a suit against the said manager citing that Mr. Cha had touched her butt as well as breasts, and also made her get into positions that would show her underwear due to the short skirt she was wearing. She also commented that the drama production team was notified of this, but they did not take any action.

Mr. Cha, on the other hand, denies sexually harassing her, insisting that she must have misunderstood his actions as being sexual advanced when he had touched her butt in attempt to brush off the dirt that had gotten on her character’s outfit.

Regarding this matter, the drama has stepped up to explain that they did all that they could to help the two resolve their differences and that Mr. Cha has been fired.

“A lawsuit has been filed against Mr. Cha, the manager for the supporting actors on ‘Monstar’… The manager has been fired as of last weekend,” a rep said and continued,“The extra was not hired by us and the manager in charge of the supporting actors is not part of our production team staff. However, it is something that occurred during the production process so if they’re going to investigate the production team, then we will fully cooperate.”

Another rep even added in, “Although it is a matter between individuals, as it is something that occurred during the production process of the drama, we tried to get them to meet and did our best to figure out what really happened. That’s why we’re shocked that [the extra] has said that we did nothing in response… We do feel responsibility as it happened during the production process, but as it is between two individuals, we are worried that this situation will have a negative effect on the drama… The filming for the drama will proceed without any setbacks.”

    Hi there! I'm Alona Sass, manager and head of press for the Officially Kmusic! I am 26 years old and I live in Northern California. I have loved K-pop for about 20 years now and I will forever hold all five members of DBSK as my favorite K-pop idols. My first ever Kpop Concert was in 2012 at KCON and I met some amazing celebs there! Since then, I've seen live SISTAR, VIXX, U-KISS, B.A.P., CNBLUE, Bangtan Boys, B1A4, G-Dragon, Teen Top, IU, Jung Joon Young, Spica, 2PM, Girls Day, Dynamic Duo, FTISLAND and more... YAAY~ =D I hope you love Kpop music as much as I do!
