Jin Hae-seong (real name Lee Sang-seong, 31), who won the gold medal in the’Trot National Sports Festival’, was surrounded by suspicion of harassment (school violence), and the agency denied it.
On the 22nd, the agency KDH Entertainment denied the suspicion of abuse by Jin Hae-seong, saying, “As a result of checking with myself, alumni, and acquaintances regarding the post posted online recently, I confirmed that the post was not true.”
He added, “It is currently impossible to determine the identity of the author of the post, but this false post can cause serious injury to Jin Hae-seong and his family, so please refrain from reckless false, speculative writing and reporting.”
“We will take legal action against those who post and disseminate false information for malicious purposes in the future,” he said. “We will do our best to ensure that our affiliated artists are not unfairly damaged by things that are not true.” Added.
Earlier on this day, an online community posted an article that raised allegations of school violence, Jin Hae-seong, the winner of the’Trot National Sports Festival’.
The netizen who wrote the article authenticated his graduation album that he graduated from Jinhae Dongjin Middle School, which is the same as Jinhaeseong, and then, along with Jinhaesung’s close gangs, included a book shuttle, a bread shuttle, and beatings using judo and sexual harassment. He claimed that Mr. A had been bullied because of this. He said, “I just stated briefly, but even after decades, this victim’s friend said that it seems that PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is still coming if I think about it at this time.”
The netizen also claimed that Jin Hae-seong, who was superior in height and weight compared to his age at the time, was the best at school, and that if he was uncomfortable with planting himself, he was violated. The netizen said, “Even though Jin Hae-sung’s friend first fought and fought, he came to him without being blamed as if he had become a man of loyalty to protect his friend. After coming to him, he ruthlessly beat a person. I mainly used the method of stepping on mercilessly. There were many classmates in my class who were scared by this harsh and ruthless character.”
As for the reason for the late disclosure, the netizen said, “I vaguely knew that Jin Hae-seong was a trot singer, but I learned a few days ago that he came out on the airwaves and even won the championship. The victims in Jin Hae-seong were scared, so it was a pity that they couldn’t make any noise, so I still think about that time. He explained, “I saw one of my friends on behalf of a friend who was screaming.” He added, “Even if I want to go to the victims and apologize, I don’t know if I will apologize or remember. If the agency denies it, then the testimonies will probably continue to appear.”
Meanwhile, Jin Hae-sung won the KBS2 trot audition program’Trot National Sports Festival’, which aired on the 20th, and received a prize of 100 million won.
The following is the full text of Jin Hae-sung’s management company KDH Entertainment.
As a result of checking with myself, alumni, and acquaintances regarding the latest postings posted online, I confirmed that the postings are not true.

In addition, we plan to take legal action at the agency level to those who post and disseminate false information for malicious purposes in the future.
