Open World Entertainment is an independent entertainment company in South Korea. It was founded in 2000 and currently has two offices. What makes this company so sketchy is the fact it was the home to Jang Ja-yeon, the actress I talked about in the previous post. In 2012, the CEO of the company was arrested for assault, rape and a whole list of other charges.
It's reported that he would even have his male idols participate in the assault of normally drugged female idols. The name of the idols involved have not been disclosed and I don't think it will ever be known as to who was truly involved in the attacks unless you are a Korean cop working the case. The CEO was sent to prison but the male idols involved in the case were not.
It's confusing as to why the male idols involved didn't even get jail time even though they took apart in the sexual activities. What's worse is that many of the girls involved were minors. The company did manage big name bands like The Boss and X-5. Which are boy bands, so it could be speculated those two bands knew what was going on. The Boss continues to make music while X-5 disbanded in 2012.
This case really shows the world the ugly side of K-pop. There are many other victims of this entertainment industry but no one really does anything to fully investigate. In the end, the CEO of the company was sentenced to 6 years in prison. Seriously! He was only sentenced to six years in prison and he had the balls to say that the sentence was unfair. This is just another example why I believe the criminal justice system is unjust. We all talk about the injustices of the world, instead of looking for criminals why don't we look at the system at large. Point the finger at the entertainment industry and at our own governments. Most of the criminals are the ones we don't see because we don't see the real side of anyone until we are behind closed doors and the cameras are off.
Let's make the world change and let's do a better job at making the world safer.
