In April, suspicion that Hyun-joo, who was a member, withdrew due to bullying within the team, was engulfed in bullying controversy. On the 28th of last month, netizen A, who revealed that he was the younger brother of former member of April, revealed to the online community that Lee Hyun-joo was bullied within the group and not for acting.
Netizen B, who claims to be Hyunjoo’s friend, claimed that “All April members bullied Hyunjoo, and there were no bystanders (except Chaekyung and Rachel).”
In addition, on the 1st, a suspicion of the abuse of April member Naeun Naeun was raised on social media. The author claimed that Nae-na had suffered severe verbal abuse and bullying in the 6th grade of elementary school.
Recently, there have been suspicions that Naeun has made inappropriate remarks by mentioning Ko Young-wook’s name through comments while sharing a message with a friend. On the screen, there was a comment saying to a friend Naeun Lee, “Do you want to be fucked by Go Young-wook?” Ko Young-wook, a former member of the group Lula, was sentenced to imprisonment and electronic anklet on charges of sexual assault on a minor, and was then released for full term.
DSP revealed that both Hyun-ju bullying and Naeun’s remarks from Hak-Bok and Ko Young-wook are unfounded.
