[Staff participating in the complaint: Women say that they are like trophies, but now it is a little bit of power as a man to wear as much as possible.]



[Employee participating in the complaint: Is it curly or did you have a perm like this, why did you do it? how much did you Aren't you doing it at a cheap place? As if inducing the people around him to respond, 'Isn't that so, isn't she like an aunt?'] That



the Korean Music Copyright Association employees heard from the former president, Mr. A.



The employees claimed that Mr. A made several insulting comments to the employees.



He said that he pointed out his appearance at meetings and made sexually harassing remarks while eating.



Mr. A is also a composer who has made several songs for famous singers, but there were cases where he ordered English translations of his song lyrics without paying for them.



[Staff participating in the complaint: I want to release my song in English, release it. I wrote the lyrics in English, but I did the translation of the lyrics, but there was no name like the lyrics or composition at all, and there was no fee for translation.]



The victims said that it was difficult to raise a problem with the president, who had the right to personnel, and it was heartbreaking.



[Employee participating in the complaint: I am afraid that I will go to the countryside or get a wrong assignment, or I will get a real mental illness or something like this.]



Mr. A told SBS reporters, "I have no memory of making sexually harassing remarks." I don't remember the exact reason, but it was not malicious intent.



He also explained that he had asked and received help from a close employee about having him do personal work, and there was no coercive instruction.



The police plan to investigate the complainant about the charges such as insults and coercion filed by the employees next week, and then call Mr. A to investigate.
