K-Pop group detained at LA airport; mistaken for sex workers
Quote:
A pop group has flown back to South Korea after officials in Los Angeles thought they might be sex workers.
The eight members were travelling to America for an album cover shoot but were detained for 15 hours in customs.
A statement from the group's record company, WM Entertainment, said authorities held them after going through their costumes and props. "They seem to have mistaken them as sex workers," said a spokesman.
Oh My Girl, who formed in March, are thought to be back in South Korean capital Seoul after being released by officials at Los Angeles International Airport.
Also should point out the reason they were detained is because their company tried to cut costs by not securing Performance Visas. When customs questioned their relationship their handlers called them "sisters".
