i've seen this couple of days ago but since Nine Muses isn't my bias or anything, I shrug it off.

But seeing this everyday on the 'most popular' section of Netizenbuzz, I always feel sorry.

I mean, i don't mean that I didn't feel sorry the first time i saw this, I did.

But.. ugh, this CEO is just an as$.

in the gif people, is Sera of Nine Muses.

she's beng hit in the face by their CEO.

and by the way she closed her eyes, it seemed like she was thinking, "here it goes again."

and then when she smirked after being hit, she seems to be thinking, "I told you i would be going to hit again"

it clearly shows how she and probably the other girls are used to it

here is the netizenbuzz article:

"The man in the gif seems to be her CEO... If he's willing to treat her like this on broadcast, imagine how he's like once the cameras are off?"

"Nine Muses CEO is known for hitting them and swearing at them at the smallest of mistakes."

"I remember those photos where he made them all line up in shorts and started criticizing them as if he were grading mannequins..."

"Yeah, I think their CEO's a bit abusive. I saw a clip where he was lightly slapping their legs once."

"He's famous for being a former gang member."

"With the way she's smiling, it looks like this happens often and she's just used to it now."

"His name's Shin Joo Hak and he's a former gang member, yup."

"Ugh, this upsets me so much.. Sera, you don't deserve that. Nine Muses, ZE:A, none of you do."

"With the way she closes her eyes right as he raises his hand makes it seem like he hits her often.. ㅠㅠ This is shocking."

"In the Star Empire documentary, it's not only the CEO.. The other staff members are all intimidating, too."

"I think he needs to relearn what it means to be a CEO... Being a CEO doesn't mean abusing your power like this."

i really feel sorry for them. i wish they just go and stand up for themselves like what Block B did. maybe though, they don't have much support. T_T

it's really saddening. T_T

i hope no one else is being treated this way.
