Testimony From B.A.P's Former Vocal Coach Goes Viral Following Alleged Lawsuit

Since news broke of B.A.P's alleged lawsuit filed against TS Entertainment, a statement from the group's former vocal coach is quickly going viral online.

On Saturday, B.A.P's former vocal trainer by the name of Hak-Ssem posted messages on his Twitter account after news of B.A.P's alleged lawsuit broke. Allegedly, the parents of the group members pre-approved the message before he posted it online.

Since his posting, portions of the translated message have gone viral, including depictions of TS Entertainment's CEO as well as the treatment of B.A.P with regards to outside contact.

"At first, [the company] refused to meet with the parents. Later, when they met face to face with the CEO-I don't know how a CEO can do this to the parents of his agency's artists-he shouted things similar to swears."

"For three years, [the company] cut off [the members'] contact with the outside world and took their cellphones away. Even when they went to their hometowns for a fan signing, [the company] wouldn't even let [the members] see their parents for more than 10 minutes. These kids had to memorize the phone numbers of their friends, teachers, and parents, and always erased their call history for fear of being caught contacting them through things like their iPad, Kakao Talk, or FaceTime because they are under surveillance."

"I hope you spread this so a lot of people can know."

On Wednesday, B.A.P reportedly filed a lawsuit at the Seoul Central District Court to nullify their contract with their record label, TS Entertainment. According to Xsports News, the six members of B.A.P have reportedly only earned an estimated $16,000 per member over the three years the group has been active, despite continuous promotions spanning 11 albums.
