Moreover, she expressed that these conditions provoked one of the group members to want to end her life by consuming pills, a situation the company allegedly ignored. In addition, she talked about how she and the members were verbally abused, recalling how a dance instructor called her a “bad dancer,” which made another girl group member break down.
