RBW has officially released a statement in regard to the serious allegations made against ONEUS member Ravn.
The following message was released through ONEUS's official fan cafe on October 17 KST:
"Hello. This is RBW.
We sincerely thank the fans who have given the group ONEUS a lot of support and love, and we would like to inform [the public] about the issue recently distributed online about member Ravn's personal life.
We are closely investigating the validity of the case, and all of Ravn's activities will be suspended until the fact-checking process is complete. Accordingly, ONEUS will continue all future schedules as a five-member system.
We inform you that if the dissemination party's allegations are found to be false without a clear basis, we will take strong action through the law firm in charge. In addition, we have confirmed that the related posts have absolutely no relation to other members of ONEUS.
We deeply apologize to the fans who must have been surprised by the sudden news, and we will do our best to check the authenticity more carefully.
Thank you."
Meanwhile, as previously reported, the ONEUS member became wrapped up in cheating and gaslighting allegations, as well as accusations of begging fans to buy him expensive gifts. On October 15, RBW announced that they would be "checking the facts" in response.
As much as I get frustrated with RBW for other issues, this is about the best statement I could imagine. They're not jumping to conclusions, they're taking the allegations seriously, and they're reminding everyone that part of taking accusations seriously is being prepared for legal action as needed. It's an awful scenario for the group -- but for once with a group scandal, I'm not further horrified by a label's response to the situation.
