Actor Jisoo recently addressed the cyber controversies that surrounded him in early 2021. Reports emerged that he was able to resolve misunderstandings with a middle school classmate who initially accused him of alleged school violence and sexual misconduct.
In 2021, Jisoo faced a series of accusations regarding bullying and sexual misconduct. These allegations were shared online before any substantial evidence was uncovered. Jisoo‘s representative later confirmed that the accusations were false.
“To minimize the impact on upcoming projects, Jisoo issued a handwritten apology after the initial accusations surfaced and withdrew from an ongoing drama series,” said his representative.
However, the accusations escalated into a stream of malicious and false reports about Jisoo‘s sexual misconduct.
Despite taking legal action against the false claims, many authors deleted their posts and disappeared, leaving the actor to deal with significant damage to his reputation.
The first wave of accusations began in March 2021, with a shocking post on Jisoo‘s social media account, supposedly from the husband of a woman who claimed to have been wronged by Jisoo.
As the agency announced legal proceedings against the false article, the supposed accuser apologized and admitted to fabricating the allegations.
Subsequently, a false report emerged online, accusing Jisoo of luring and sexually assaulting a middle school girl.
However, the person who wrote the report quickly retracted their accusations and issued an apology.
Another false narrative gained attention on social media, this time from someone claiming to be Jisoo‘s high school classmate.
The anonymous individual alleged witnessing Jisoo engaging in inappropriate behavior. Once again, the post was swiftly deleted, leaving no room for legal action.
Jisoo‘s representative responded to the series of accusations with a strong statement, emphasizing that all allegations were false and baseless. Jisoo himself maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing.
Amidst the turmoil, Jisoo‘s former classmate came forward to defend him, stating, “Jisoo, who aspired to be an actor, was very cautious about his school life. Even as a popular figure, he always maintained respectful relationships with his peers.”
Jisoo, who temporarily halted his career due to the accusations, mutually terminated his contract with KeyEast in May. After completing his mandatory service in July, Jisoo is currently not scheduled for any appearances.
Ending on a positive note, Jisoo mentioned that after a lengthy discussion with the classmate who initially accused him, they have reached an understanding and now support each other’s future endeavors.
