Army Training Centre Addresses SEVENTEEN Woozi’s “Abuse Of Power” Controversy
Addressing SEVENTEEN Woozi’s “abuse of power” controversy, the Army Training Centre spoke to the media outlet Chosun on the phone. In their statement, the Centre said that there was no coercion and their investigation revealed that Woozi himself had accepted senior official ‘A’s requests out of goodwill. No violation of law or regulations was committed in the situation.
The body also said that from a trainee’s perspective, a request from a military officer could feel like coercion. However, the request was made after the end of their six-week training period was a sufficient amount of time to build a meaningful friendship. They further explained that no disciplinary action will be taken against Woozi or senior official ‘A’
“We have not reached the level where such measures should be taken. First, we will conduct a survey of unit members to improve barracks culture, and if there are any other cases of unfair treatment, we will take action.” Added an official.
