Actor Cho Byeong-gyu predicted that he would directly express his stance on the suspicion of school violence.
On the 22nd, Cho Byeong-gyu left a short article on his Instagram story saying, “I will definitely reveal my position. Please wait.”
Recently, Cho Byeong-gyu was overwhelmed by suspicion of school abuse due to the revelations of netizen A, who claims the same school as him in New Zealand. Mr. A said that he went to New Zealand to study English when he was in his third year of middle school. Claimed to have been hit.
HB Entertainment, the agency of Cho Byeong-gyu, said, “In order to hold legal responsibility for the distributor of indiscreet malicious comments and false facts, we formally requested a police investigation and inform that we have initiated an investigation related to this case.” I will take legal responsibility without agreement.”
After that, Mr. A apologized for the false writing. The agency said, “The post author has surrendered and acknowledged that the post he wrote was false, regretted his wrongdoing and misconduct, and appealed to him in the line of apologizing.”
However, the suspicion of abusing against Cho Byeong-gyu continued. Another netizen B said through an online community, “Cho Byeong-gyu was famous for his so-called Iljin and poor quality friends even when he was in elementary and junior high school. He shot with a BB bullet, and there were a lot of swearwords and frequent assaults. There are many instances where I have been swearing.”
In addition to this, articles were published one after another to expose the case of Cho Byeong-gyu’s harassment. Another netizen C argued that “while studying in New Zealand, I was micro-assaulted by Cho Byeong-gyu in a karaoke room” and “Kicking or hitting was basic, and everything in my hand was a weapon.”
The agency’s position remained unchanged. Cho Byeong-gyu’s side said, “As a result of verifying the identity of all the postings and rumors being circulated, it has been confirmed that it is not at all true.” In order to ask for legal responsibility on the basis of this, a police investigation was officially requested, and the investigation is underway at the Cyber Investigation Unit of the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul.”
Among them, netizens, who claimed to have been victimized by Cho Byeong-gyu, received attention by predicting legal countermeasures on the 21st of seeking a legal advisor from the Korean side through SNS. Currently, the article has been deleted.
It is paying attention to what kind of position Cho Byeong-gyu will reveal to the repeated suspicion of abusing.
