What a series of events. I wonder how the current members feel about this.

If the groups are dissolving and rebooting, then there's a good chance that idols were involved but instead of pointing the culprit or culprits out so they could face charges, the groups were rebooted with new members. It's sad and kind of a waste how they swept it under the rug, it would have been better if they just found the idols involved so that charges could be pressed.

This is what I was thinking. A lot of what has come out points to there being a deeper story here, and sounds like the group's management have covered some things up here. For one to say there was no issue then resign and the other to be fired really speaks volumes

Revealing information about another member of the group is unethical and probably against group rules but is probably not illegal. Especially since in this case the police dropped charges against the men who received the information. There is a lot of rotten nasty behavior that isn't against the law. Also what benefit to the company or the group members would come of airing their dirty laundry in public?
