Group Stray Kids Hyun-jin (21, real name Hwang Hyun-jin) announced that they are confirming the allegations of school violence.

Stray Kids’ agency, JYP Entertainment, said on the official website on the 23rd, “First of all, we are doing our best to confirm the facts on this issue.”

JYP explained, “At the time the issue was raised, we are listening to the opinions of the school and surrounding acquaintances the member attended, and we are considering listening to the opinions of the publisher directly if the publisher allows it.”

“However, it has been confirmed that there are many different parts of the contents that are currently indiscriminately spreading, and we have also identified distributors who intentionally create and post malicious rumors.” He emphasized, “We are trying to clarify the exact facts that are not accurate, and we will take legal action against the spread of false information.”

Finally, he added, “We will do our best to protect the artist through clear findings of facts, and we will respond strongly to the dissemination of rumors different from the facts,” he added.

Earlier, on the 22nd, a netizen who identified as Hyunjin’s alumni posted an article in an online community raising suspicion of Hyunjin’s school abuse. The author claimed that Hwang Hyun-jin had been subjected to unknown violence and verbal abuse, and that he criticized and mocked me for nonsense and childish reasons. He also added that he heard abusive and sexual harassment remarks from Hwang Hyun-jin, and that he was aware of and disputed.

Meanwhile, Hyunjin debuted as the group Stray Kids in 2018 and has been active with songs such as’New Menu’,’Back Door’ and’Maze’.
