Former APRIL member and actress Lee Na Eun has shared her feelings about the school bullying controversy that has followed her for years.

In a recent video by popular travel YouTuber KwakTube, she talked about the misunderstandings and how many people blocked her because of it.

On September 16, KwakTube posted a video titled “My First Romantic Week in Italy – Italy” on his YouTube channel, featuring Lee Na Eun. During the video, KwakTube opened up to her about a past misunderstanding.

“I feel sorry about something,” KwakTube said. “When people around me talked about school violence, I became sensitive. I even blocked you (Lee Na Eun) after reading about it. Later, I found out that it wasn’t true, but by then, you already knew I blocked you. I’ve felt guilty about it ever since.”

Lee Na Eun responded, “We’ve met a few times since then, haven’t we? I used to joke about you blocking me, but it did hurt. I was sad because so many people did the same. It was all a misunderstanding, and it upset me,” she shared. “But I’m not hurt anymore. I’ve learned that there are too many people who don’t know the real me.”

KwakTube expressed his regret, saying, “I only found out the truth later, but there weren’t many articles clearing things up.”

Lee Na Eun first faced allegations of bullying in 2020, with claims that former APRIL member Lee Hyun Joo had been mistreated by the group. While Lee Na Eun and other members denied the accusations, the issue led to the disbandment of APRIL.

Lee Na Eun was later cleared of the bullying accusations after it was found that the person who spread the rumors had lied. Despite this, the controversy impacted her career. She signed with Namoo Actors in 2022 and is now focusing on her acting career, with her next project being the drama Eye Shopping.

Earlier this year, Lee Na Eun was also in the spotlight due to dating rumors with soccer player Lee Kang In.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
