Actor Nam Joo Hyuk‘s management company recently released a statement denying any connection between the actor and a so-called “sparring” video that has been included in a YouTube content alleging his involvement in school violence.
The statement added that Nam Joo Hyuk was made aware of the video’s existence and confirmed that he did not appear in it, nor was there any content related to him.
The management company expressed strong regret over the YouTube media that made it seem as though Nam Joo Hyuk was involved in the sparring video.
They also stated that an investigation into the school violence allegations is currently underway and urged the media to refrain from one-sided reporting until a clear investigation is conducted.
On April 26, the YouTube channel “Entertainment Back President Lee Jin Ho” released a sparring video of A claiming to have been a victim of school violence from Nam Joo Hyuk.
However, Nam Joo Hyuk clarified that A was coerced into releasing the video and that there was no footage of Nam Joo Hyuk included in the video. A claimed that Nam Joo Hyuk was present at the scene, but Nam Joo Hyuk denies being there as he is currently serving in the military.
Netizens were quick to express their opinions on the matter, with some showing support forNam Joo Hyuk while others expressed their concern for the alleged victim. One user wrote, “I really hope the truth comes out soon. It’s not fair to either party to jump to conclusions without all the facts.”
Another user commented, “If Nam Joo Hyuk really did commit school violence, then he should be held accountable for his actions. But until then, we should give him the benefit of the doubt.”
Others were critical of the media’s handling of the situation, with one user stating, “It’s disappointing to see the media jump on this story without waiting for all the facts. They’re just trying to stir up controversy for clicks.”
Some also expressed their frustration with the ongoing issue of school violence in South Korea, with one user writing, “This is just one more example of the deep-rooted problem of school violence in our society. We need to take a hard look at ourselves and make real changes.”
As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what the outcome will be for Nam Joo Hyuk and the alleged victim.
In the meantime, it is important to approach the situation with caution and wait for all the facts to emerge before making any judgments.
