Naeun’s side dismissed, saying, “The controversy is not true at all, it is a composite photo.”
On the 1st, Lee Na-eun’s agency DSP Media said, “In Na-eun has never commented,” said, “The captured photo (which is spreading online saying that it is Lee Na-eun’s past remarks) is a composite photo. The photo that was spread a long time ago is spreading again. “I told Donga.com my position.
In addition, through an official position, he said, “We are going to take a tough legal response to unfounded composite photos published in some communities.”
In the photo in question, a person presumed to be Lee Na-eun wrote to an acquaintance, “Do you want to be raped by Ko Young-wook?” Ko Young-wook is a singer from the group Lula, who was recently released after being sentenced to sexual assault and forced harassment of minors.

Meanwhile, on the same day, an online community posted an article by Mr. A claiming that he had suffered school violence from Lee Na-eun.
Mr. A said, “I heard unreasonable swear words from Na-eun when she was in the 6th grade of elementary school, and she was always bullied by the so-called’Iljin group’,” said Lee Na-eun, who swears without reason behind her and insisted on being separated.
“One day, my older sister, who graduated from the same elementary school, came to play and gave me a hug. I was so scared to go to school because of the thought and anxiety that I would be glaring at it. I still haven’t recovered my self-esteem in my early twenties.”
Mr. A said, “”From the moment Lee debuted until now, when I saw him appearing on TV with a shameless smile, I was so upset and reminded me all day long.” “I think the incident I was facing was school violence, and I think it is right to be apologized. . “It is not violence only if there is physical violence,” he wrote, certifying that he is an alumni by uploading a picture of Lee Na-eun’s graduation from elementary school.
