During the interview, Grace mentioned how the group's company would schedule dinners with business members and event organizers after events. She recalled how in a past interview, Dayul mentioned that during those dinners or when the group met people for photos, they would be touched inappropriately.
Grace then asked Dayul if the CEO would do anything about it.

Dayul confirmed that those situations were uncomfortable, and several people had crossed the line with them. The members would tell the CEO when someone kept on touching them inappropriately, but the CEO did not do anything to help the girls.
Instead, the CEO made excuses for those who had touched them. He would say things like, "Because you guys are like daughters."

Dayul revealed that they expected the CEO to protect them. However, the CEO could not do much since those people gave them a chance to perform. She tells Grace,
"Technically, those business people were giving us a chance to perform. They are considered "higher-up" people. So our CEO could not really stand to tell them. He wanted us to understand the position we were in."

Grace then asked if the group could ever refuse to have dinners with these people. Dayul said they could not refuse, as the meetings were usually held after group performances.
Due to the lack of financial aid and care the company had for them, the meetings were their only chance to have a proper meal, and those business people would help the girls get home.
