Kang claimed that Artgravia CEO Mr. A had continuously committed sexual violence against other models in the agency and silenced them to prevent the disclosure of these acts. In the video, three models affiliated with Artgravia who said they were sexually assaulted by Mr. A appeared together and continued to expose him.
According to their statements, Mr. A made physical contact with the models during photo shoots, saying it was "to help them perform better," and such behavior continued multiple times afterward.

They mentioned that besides the three of them, there are other victims who have not come forward, including minors. They revealed their reason for speaking out was to ensure that no more victims suffer sexual assault from the CEO.
