Song Ha-yoon, an actress who suffered school violence? Agency: “It’s not true”

While actress Song Ha-yoon is embroiled in suspicions of school violence, her agency has released an official statement.

On the 1st, Song Ha-yoon's agency, King Kong by Starship, said, "We recognized the seriousness of this issue and spoke with the informant on the phone to confirm the facts after receiving the initial report. Afterwards, we requested a meeting to confirm the accurate facts through messenger, but the informant's side “They expressed their refusal, and I requested a phone call, but did not receive a response,” he said.

He added, "After confirming the facts with the actor regarding the reporter's claims, we confirmed that we have no contact with the reporter and that all of the information in question is not true."

The agency said, "Currently, reckless speculation and speculative content are spreading due to the one-sided claims of the informant. We earnestly ask you to refrain from reporting unconfirmed facts and speculative information in this regard."

JTBC's 'Incidence Chief', which aired earlier today, dealt with the suspicions that popular actress S had committed school violence. The 'Case Chief' side said, "Actor S left a deep impression with his performance as a possessed villain in a famous drama that recently ended. He also left an impressive thank you message, saying that this drama made his dream come true and that he will act harder in the future." “We received shocking information about Mr. S,” he said.

One informant claimed to the ‘Incidence Team Leader’ that he suffered school violence from Mr. S. Even though he was severely assaulted, he received no apology. The informant said that in high school, Mr. S, who was his senior, beat him for 1 hour and 30 minutes without even knowing what was going on. At the same time, she confessed that because Ms. S's boyfriend at the time was part of Iljin, she could not resist and had no choice but to get hit.

According to the informant, Mr. S was later involved in another group assault, was punished as School Violence No. 8, and was forcibly transferred to a high school in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. In addition, the informant predicted further revelations that there were other victims besides himself and that he had evidence, so a fallout is expected. The informant immigrated to the United States six months after graduating from high school, and was shocked to report it after accidentally seeing a video of Mr. S appearing on an entertainment program. In relation to this, the 'incident team leader' contacted Mr. S's agency, but was told that "the actor said he had no recollection of the school violence."
