Trot singer Jin Dal-rae, actor Cho Byeong-gyu, and group TOO Cha Woong-ki are all over the world every day with controversy over school violence.
Recently, famous sports players and entertainers claim that they were assaulted while in school, and’Happy’ has emerged as a serious social problem. Popular volleyball stars Lee Da-young and Lee Jae-young admitted and apologized for allegations of abuse in the past, and the Korea Volleyball Federation decided to block the participation of the new player draft for the new players.
The so-called’hakpok’ Me Too, called’I’m also a victim of a haggle’, is spreading rapidly as it has led to entertainment. There are many who believe that most of the revelations are based on anonymity online, and that clear evidence is not followed, so it is necessary to listen and judge the positions of both sides sufficiently.
In fact, suspicions of abusing have been raised several times in the entertainment industry, and the types of responses according to the confirmation of the facts have been varied. While some admitted to the suspicion and chose to apologize and self-sufficiency, there were also cases that predicted a hard-line response, claiming that it was false.

Singer Jin Dal-rae got off at TV Chosun’Mistrot 2’after he was accused of being accused of being a harassment. He said, “I sincerely apologize to the victims who were hurt by wrongdoing in school,” he apologized, saying, “I regret tore heartbreakingly that my immature behavior as a child still remained as a trauma, and I am very resentful.” .
He continued, “I am deeply regretting how wrong my actions were, and I will live with apologetic heart for life. Even if it has been a long time so that I can become a proud mother, I will definitely admit and ask for forgiveness for what I did wrong. I promised.
PD Kim Yoo-jin, who showed his face through the broadcast ahead of the marriage with Chef Lee Won-il, also got off at MBC’If you envy, you lose’ due to suspicion of abusing. At that time, when a post was posted online claiming that PD Kim Yoo-jin was the leading force in the perpetrators of gang violence, he and Chef Lee Won-il published a handwritten apology twice.
PD Kim Yu-jin said, “It seems that listing and acknowledging all my faults one by one rather than a formal saying that I am sorry for the injured people can give a little bit of apology to those who have been hurt.” I will visit you and ask for an apology.” However, as additional disclosures continued after apologizing, PD Kim Yu-jin posted a post on social media stating “I will carry everything” and tried to make an extreme choice.
Singer Park Gyeong-do, when suspicion arose, “I hated the image of a model student and liked to be noticed, so the so-called friends of the play looked cool. I wanted to hang out with them, hang out with them, and do embarrassing behaviors together. When I am with them, no one treats me carelessly. I think I couldn’t. I apologize, “I’m very sorry for my youthful adolescence.”
Afterwards, just before enlisting in October of last year, Park Kyung said, “I was always worried about my infancy on the day that the first gangster article came out, so I immediately posted an apology.” I asked for forgiveness. I will continue to live without forgetting.”
◆ “It’s not true”… Yoari, Cha Woong-gi, and Cho Byeong-gyu take out a hard-line card

There are cases in which the suspicion is completely refuted, saying that the’hakpok’ Me Too, who has targeted himself, is not true. They even acted hard on false information by taking legal action.
Singer Yoari, who was re-examined after clearing her unknown days with JTBC’s’singer gain’, refuted, “It’s not true,” when an anonymous revelation that’I assaulted my friends from Iljin and dropped out due to an accident’ appeared. He said, “I’m frustrated that the writing of someone I can’t even guess is going to grow so much and hurt me, my family, and people around me. I don’t know how to explain and prove what I didn’t do.”
Yoari continued, “I think I went to my first grade in middle school for about half a year. I wasn’t a neat and good student, but I never used to be a harassment or beating anyone for no reason. I don’t know the law and have already been stigmatized as a perpetrator, but I can do it. I will respond as much as possible,” he dismissed the controversy.
Group TOO Cha Woong-gi also denied the suspicion of abusing. The agency Stone Music Entertainment said, “The artist himself, the school officials, and the person who appeared in the post claiming the damage confirmed the facts,” and said, “When I was in school, there were people who did not feel good with Cha Woong-gi. It’s true, but the claims of using violence in a way that harassed certain people are completely different.”
He said, “If unfounded malicious slander and dissemination of false facts against our artists continue, we will also take a decisive method,” he said. “We will do our best to protect our artists from now on.”
Actor Cho Byeong-gyu, who has been struggling with drama as well as entertainment, also raised suspicion of abusing twice. Cho Byeong-gyu’s side said it was “false” and has even requested a police investigation of the spreader. Cho Byeong-gyu’s agency said, “In order to inquire legally responsible for the spreaders of malicious comments and false information, our company officially requested a police investigation and informs that we have undertaken an investigation on this case.”
He added, “We will no longer be left to sit down on the offenses that mass-produce and spread malicious rumors against the actors we belong to, and we will hold legal responsibility without any prejudice or agreement according to the results of future investigations.”
◆ To my son’s school… Yoon Son-ha leaves for Canada

Actor Yoon Son-ha left for Canada after apologizing for the controversy over her son’s school abuse in 2017. When the case of his son’s assault was first reported by SBS, Yoon Soon-ha said, “There was a difference in the fact that students confined a child under a blanket and engaged in indiscriminate group violence. I’m really sorry,” he explained, and was hit by a headwind.
As public opinion deteriorated, such as asking for a drop off of KBS2’s’Best Oriental Medicine’, which was appearing on KBS2, in the end, Yoon Son-ha announced the second position and said, “I hope that no further damage will occur due to my inadequate coping, and I am serious about this issue. I will do my best to investigate sincerely,” he apologized, saying, “Once again, we are really sorry for causing concern over our family’s affairs.”
Later, as Yoon Son-ha headed to Canada with his son, the rumors of immigration began to circulate. Soon-ha Yoon said, “It is right to go to Canada, but it is to spend time with my children while staying in Canada for their education and stability. I am not thinking about immigration.” Since the incident, Yoon Son-ha has not been engaged in public entertainment activities until now. In 2018, it appeared on a Japanese home shopping channel and sold cosmetics.
◆ For simple fun, unfounded scholarly exposes
In the craze of’Happy Me Too’, singer Park Ji-hoon, from Wanna One, became a victim of unfounded disclosure.
On the 14th, attorney Go Seung-woo of Gangnam Law Firm (Yoohan), who was actually Park Ji-hoon’s lawyer, introduced on his blog on the 14th that Park Ji-hoon sued bad guys for defamation.
When Park Ji-hoon was in full swing, a revealer appeared, saying, “Every time Ji-hoon appeared, he spit on the monitor.”
He said, “Park Chi, get nervous if you’re looking at my writing. I’ll punish you desperately,” he said, saying, “I suffered school violence by Park Ji-hoon in middle school.”
However, according to the results of a police investigation conducted by Park Ji-hoon’s complaint, the publisher did not attend the same local middle school as Park Ji-hoon and was found to have no one-sided knowledge.
Attorney Seung-Woo Ko said, “The bad guy was a 28-year-old office worker at the time, and he said he left a defamatory article just for fun.” He added, “It is flawless that the degree of punishment is weak, but there was no prejudice, and all specified parties, including the person concerned, were punished.”
As the controversy over’Happy’ Me Too spread regardless of fields such as actors, singers, and sports, the recent controversy over the academy of twin volleyball stars was a social issue or a sports issue.
The portal has abolished the comments on entertainment and sports news as a precaution to prevent personal attacks and malicious comments, and recommends that the recently raised twin sisters’ school abuse be treated as a sports section. However, even sports players or entertainers are also confronting the opinion that if they are controversial over social issues such as drugs, school abuse, and drunk driving, they are no longer entertainment or sports information.
