Ravn has officially withdrawn from ONEUS after cheating and gaslighting allegations.
Earlier this month, Ravn faced allegations of cheating and gaslighting from someone who claimed to be his ex-girlfriend, and ONEUS' label RBW Entertainment announced the group will be promoting as 5 members for the time being.
On October 27, RBW Entertainment revealed Ravn has decided to leave the group. Read the full statement below.
"Hello, this is RBW Entertainment. We sincerely thank fans for giving love to the group ONEUS, and with a heavy heart, we are informing you of the departure of member RAVN.
Regarding this issue, Ravn expressed concern about the damage it was causing to the ONEUS members and fans, and he voluntarily decided to withdraw from the group. After careful discussion with the members, we decided to respect his opinion of the voluntary withdrawal. Therefore, Ravn has officially withdrawn from the group as of today.
ONEUS plan to continue their activities as a five-member group in the future. Besides Ravn’s withdrawal, we have discovered false rumors and malicious editing in articles related to Ravn as we plan to reveal the clear facts through a lawsuit. In addition, strong legal action will be taken against indiscriminate personal attacks against the company and the artists. Regardless of whether the post was true, we also feel responsible for what we're lacking in artist management.
We sincerely apologize for causing concern to many people due to an issue regarding our artist’s private life. We hope for a lot of interest and support for ONEUS’s activities in the future, and once again, we bow our heads in apology for causing concern to the fans."
The statement is going to cause issues.
They make it sound like part of the accusations are true, while others are false.
Result both the gp, and the fans will go into different sides either defending or accusing.
They need to clearly state what was true, what was not and etc.
Removing him from the group before then, is causing issues for everyones - as it is making him look guilty to some, and innocent to others by leaving for the group.
They needed to keep him on hiatus, give clear and specific updates and only when there is a clear judgment and answer. Communicate this with the gp and fans, as well as only then clarifying his position in the group. Then everything is clear, no one can take sides and the matter is put to rest.
