Shim Eun-woo completely denies ‘school violence apology’

Actor Shim Eun-woo's 'school violence controversy' has surfaced again. Shim Eun-woo recently commented on the controversy. He confessed his regret, saying that his apology for the controversy had become an 'acknowledgment of school violence.'

The truth of the incident has become unclear. As the controversy arose again, Shim Eun-woo's classmate B claimed that he had observed the incident. The battle over the ‘Sim Eun-woo school violence controversy’ continues for about two years. Shim Eun-woo has already been labeled a ‘school violence perpetrator’ for a long time. It is true that if there is no evidence to prove Shim Eun-woo's injustice, it will be difficult for him to return to the entertainment industry.

Shim Eun-woo recently started writing on his Instagram account, saying, "I have been labeled as a school violence perpetrator and a school violence actor for over two years."

He said, "I couldn't unconditionally admit something I couldn't remember, so I had no choice but to deny it, and contrary to my intention, it led to a battle over the truth." He added, "I don't know why they started fighting, who the other group he remembers is, and we were never in the same class, but all the arrows were raised." “Maybe it’s me, but my family didn’t have a chicken restaurant, so I don’t know what happened to this memory,” he said, expressing his resentment. Lastly, she announced that she has become Yeonjin of the Netflix series ‘The Glory’.

Immediately after the post was posted, Mr. B's claims are attracting attention. Mr. B claimed that he was a party to the incident. Mr. B said, "I'll tell you what I remember as a person involved. The writer and I were friends and we were arguing. Then, Park So-ri (Shim Eun-woo), who was in the same class, and my friend joined in and asked, 'Why are you blaming me?' and we fought in the hallway of my class. “I heard that all the kids who got caught up in the fight over this, including me, wrote a letter of reflection, and the writer cried because he wanted to transfer to another school.”

He continued, "I have one question about writer A. I remember that there was no further contact or friction between the writer and I after this incident. If the writer's claim is correct, after this incident, Park Sori and his group were unable to get the writer on the bus. "They say he bullied me continuously for several years to the point where I couldn't even go to the city. Is this true that I don't know? I'm very confused by the article saying that he even transferred schools due to subtle and continuous bullying due to this incident," he added.

In the end, the truth of the incident was not revealed, leaving only suspicions. Even if Shim Eun-woo claims to have been unfairly treated, it is virtually difficult for him to return to the entertainment industry if he cannot shed the label of 'school violence controversy'.

Shim Eun-woo was caught up in the 'school violence controversy' in March 2021. This comes after a post was posted by Mr. A, who claimed that he was ostracized by Shim Eun-woo during his school days. Mr. A said that Shim Eun-woo bullied and bullied him during his school years.

Shim Eun-woo said of the controversy at the time that it was a 'minor dispute.' Afterwards, an apology for the controversy became an issue. He said, "I would like to express my apology to my friend who was hurt by my immature attitude in the past."

About two years have passed. The apology he wrote was completely refuted. The apology has become an admission of school violence, and has become a label that means he can no longer engage in normal acting activities. However, it was nothing more than an appeal with only claims and no evidence.

The public's perception of Shim Eun-woo is close to negative. Shim Eun-woo attended the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) in October 2021. His appearance in public without resolving the controversy was enough to attract criticism.

Two years later, it's still the same. Shim Eun-woo confessed that the 'school violence controversy' broke out because he was not a model student during his school days. Rather than appealing to emotions, a sense of responsibility is needed to reveal the truth of the incident.
