After former MASC member Chibin revealed that he was assaulted by former group mate ACE, despite everybody agreeing that the assault happened, they went back and forth seemingly forever over the details. Hell, even former member 26 decided to chime in with a decidedly neutral take. Well, now Chibin has updated on the situation, claiming that authorities have sided with him completely.
The former idol wrote on his Instagram on August 4, “Currently, the investigation team is discussing the assailant’s sentence after the assailant admitted to all accusations of a violent one-sided assault. After reviewing the assailant’s SNS claims, the investigator commented, ‘It will end up being a fine for the assailant, it’s pretty clear’. Furthermore, the investigator showed no sign of defending the assailant; and the case is entirely progressing as a one-sided assault.” Chibin continued, “I have also not received any monetary offers from the assailant, including any medical bills. The occurrence where the assailant and I were embraced in an attempt to split up the fighting happened after I was assailed in the head and face. Afterward, it is absolutely true that the assailant continued to kick me one or two times while I was in the arms of another person. The assailant claims that I began charging toward him while cursing; however, it is unimaginable when considering our oppressive relationship. It is not true.”
Assuming Chibin is telling the truth here about what the authorities concluded, that should about help wrap this up, and I’m just grateful that it could be over soon. I was sick of every party involved in this dropping dissertations on social media going back and forth, especially when the core fact of Chibin being assaulted by ACE was admitted all around, so at least this finally appears to set us down a course of resolution.
