• Song Ha Yoon’s bullying controversy: Uncle of alleged victim steps up “My Niece is being bullied again”

    The storm around actress Song Ha Yoon's alleged school bullying scandal is far from over. A man, known only as A, claiming to be the uncle of the victim, has stepped forward, voicing his frustration that "my niece is being victimized again by the agency."

    On April 5th, A dropped a bombshell in a comment on the YouTube channel 'Chief Crime' of JTBC, which was the first to report the allegations of Song Ha Yoon's school bullying. He revealed that he is the "uncle of the whistleblower who claimed to have been bullied by her (Song Ha Yoon) during their school days."

    The whistleblower had previously claimed that he was slapped for a whopping 90 minutes without any reason by Song Ha Yoon back in August 2004.

    He stated that he couldn't fight back because Song Ha Yoon's ex-boyfriend was a notorious school bully, and he's still waiting for a proper apology or even a reason for the slapping incident.

    A, speaking about this, explained, "It might seem odd that a male student was assaulted by a female student, but our niece is physically small because she had a major surgery when she was a baby."

    He continued, "(My niece) graduated from a university in the U.S. and is working at a good job, so he had put it behind him. But today, I got a call from my sister and found out that the agency is victimizing him again. Why can't they give a reason for the violence?"

    He expressed his anger, saying, "Can't they even offer a sincere apology? As a parent, I'm boiling with anger."

    Song Ha Yoon's agency, KingKong by Starship, admits that Song Ha Yoon was involved in school bullying in the past and was forced to transfer schools, but they deny knowing the whistleblower.

    They're standing firm, insisting on considering all necessary measures, including legal actions against the whistleblower, legal review through a law firm, and even a broadcast ban injunction against JTBC's Chief Crime, for future fact-checking and related matters.
