The previous day, an online community posted an article stating that Cha Woong-gi’s harassment was publicized. The author of the post, Mr. A, said, “People are’good personality’,’cool’, and’respectful’, but you’re honestly stabbed with your conscience. You ruined your kids’ lives,” he said. Okay?”
The day before this article was posted, Cha Woong-ki emerged as a’concept stone’ by emphasizing social distancing from college students who want to have a drink. However, as suspicions arose within a day, netizens are keenly aware of the authenticity.
The agency side said, “The artist himself, the school officials, and the person who appeared in the post claiming the damage confirmed the facts. As a result of the confirmation, it is true that there were people who were not feeling good with each other because they did not get along with Cha Woong-ki. However, I am telling you that the allegations of using violence in a way that harassed certain people are completely different from the facts.”
On the same day, Cho Byeong-gyu’s agency, HB Entertainment, also expressed a strong position on the suspicion of his school abuse. The agency said, “In order to hold legal responsibility for the indiscriminate malicious comments and spreaders of false information posted through the online community, our company has officially requested a police investigation and has initiated an investigation on this case.”
Cho Byeong-gyu recently received attention as a protagonist in the popular OCN drama’Wonderful Rumors’, and has been attracting attention as a popular actor by confirming appearances in KBS 2TV’s new entertainment program’Comeback Home’ with Yoo Jae-seok.
Among them, controversy arose over an online community claiming that a netizen was verbally abused by Cho Byeong-gyu while studying in New Zealand while studying in New Zealand.
Previously, when he appeared in the 2018 JTBC drama’Sky Castle’, Cho Byeong-gyu was once surrounded by the same suspicion. At that time, he denied the allegations through a fan cafe.
