JYP Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as JYP), who emphasized personality, is confused by the suspicion of school violence by Hwang Hyun-jin, a member of the group Stray Kids, who is a singer.

On the 22nd, an online community posted an article claiming that a netizen who was a student in the same class as Hyunjin had suffered verbal violence and sexual harassment from Hyunjin in the past.

The netizen described the situation at the time in relatively detail. The author also revealed that he was a girl who was aspiring to be an actor at the time, and wrote, “Every time Hwang Hyun-jin appeared on TV, I seemed to hear the criticism and ridicule of that time without reason again, and I realized that I could not erase that memory in the end. The author added, “I hope that the violence committed because I was young is not justified and I would like to apologize directly.”

JYP is unable to conceal the embarrassment of such disclosure. It is known that JYP began to investigate the truth through its own investigation overnight after the article was published.

JYP also said on the fan page, “At the time of the problem, we are listening to the opinions of the school and surrounding acquaintances that the member (Hyunjin) attended.” If allowed, we are also considering listening to the opinion of the publisher directly.” Informed.

JYP said, “However, it has been confirmed that there are many different parts of the content that are currently indiscriminately spreading.” “We also confirmed distributors who intentionally create and post malicious rumors. We will take legal action against the spread of false information.”

Actor Kim Dong-hee, who was suspicious of school violence prior to Hwang Hyun-jin, is also part of the former JYP actor part. Although Kim Dong-hee’s side actively denied the controversy, there are voices saying that JYP’s efforts and verification, which emphasized character rather than ability in the entertainment industry, did not bear fruit. In the past, JYP canceled the trainee contract due to suspicion of school violence by trainee Yoon Seo-bin, who appeared in Mnet’s’Produce X101′ series.
