[NEWS] 181025 U-KISS’s Hoon Reveals Family Member Is Victim Of Assault

U-KISS member Hoon revealed that the victim of the violence incident that happened in an elementary school at Mokpo is his family member.

On October 24, Hoon posted a statement on his Instagram.

According to Mokpo Police Station and other authorities, fifth grade student “A” fell down unconscious on the floor on October 23, around 9 a.m. KST after being assaulted by another student in the same school. “A” still has not gained consciousness yet.

Read Hoon’s full statement:

“Currently, one student attending Seohae Elementary School in Mokpo, South Jeolla Province is brain dead and unconscious. Even if he gains consciousness, his mental age will be that of a three or a four year old. I am so mad and upset to hear that the parents of the attacker are laughing and chatting in front of the ICU (Intensive Care Unit).

The child who is brain dead is my family. My family members cannot be comforted because the investigation is not proceeding smoothly due to the fact that this incident happened between elementary school students. Violence is violence even if an elementary student did it. The child is under critical condition, but the attacker did not receive any proper punishment. The school is also taking no action whatsoever and says that other students are anxious. I am very distressed. I hope that my family members don’t get hurt anymore. I hope that his consciousness returns to him soon.”

[NEWS] 151212 U-KISS’ Eli Closes All Active Social Media Accounts

In another twist in the convoluted saga, U-KISS member Eli has deactivated both his Instagram and Twitter accounts.

Eli first dropped a bombshell on fans just over a week ago announcing that he had married in secret and that he and his wife are expecting a child. The post was subsequently deleted, then reposted, and then deleted again. His agency, NH EMG, released a statement shortly thereafter to clarify the situation.

In the days following, Eli’s fellow members Soohyun and Kevin both took to Twitter to voice their support, and Eli himself spoke out in more detail a few days after his initial announcement. Due to the fact that almost all of these statements have included an apology towards fans who may have felt betrayed, it’s a safe guess that Eli’s reasoning for deleting his social media accounts is in part due to the fans’ reaction.

Meanwhile, NH EMG has stated that Eli’s schedules will not be affected by this news. He continues to film for the upcoming drama “Only You” with Kevin.
