'THE FACT' met up with 'D', one of Seo Ji Soo's alleged victims.

'D' claimed that there were many events to the Seo Ji Soo incident with "JisooLuv" that the public did not know. Further, she claims that was also one of the people that Seo Ji Soo threatened. She first met JisooLuv during the police investigations into the sexual�harassment�claims against Seo Ji Soo because she was also involved in the investigation.

'D' had actually recorded conversations between JisooLuv, herself, a third victim, and a Woollim representative at the investigation. During the conversation, the Woollim rep asked, "[You said you dated Seo Ji Soo], but did you two actually confirm your feelings for each other?", to which JisooLuv answered, "Seo Ji Soo's sexually harassing remarks were not when she was doing her 'member play' but when we were dating. She even recorded a video where she called my real name and told me she liked me."

The 'Member Play' that JisooLuv mentioned is a role play community where people have conversations while role playing to be idol group members. JisooLuv and Seo Ji Soo met on one of the role playing communities. However, JisooLuv said, "If you understand 'Member Play', you will get it. We met there, but had a deep relationship while we dated�and�even shared our house addresses. Of course, from the outside, you could ask, 'how is�that proof?', but if you say that, you won't believe anything no matter what the proof."

The Woollim rep said, "Seo Ji Soo actually did tell us. I probably was the first one she talked to when the situation happened. She said, 'I was really lonely and exhausted then. I don't know what emotions I treated them with back then, but I don't�understand why things are becoming so negative." However, on the sexually harassing remarks Seo Ji Soo made, the Woollim rep did admit, "Those comments and expressions are in fact sexually harassing, and it is true those actions�themselves�are morally problematic."

Two months later, the trio met up with another Woollim rep as well as Woollim's lawyer. The lawyer told JisooLuv, "You talk about how you had to go see a therapist, but don't you also have to think about Seo Ji Soo? Her face is everywhere. Also, if you promise to apologize and never let this kind of thing happen, I can actively tell the label, 'We don't have to ruin a young person's life. Let's forgive her.' If this goes to court, it can get very lengthy. We won't have to go to court every time, but you might. That's going to be stressful."

However, after a short break, the lawyer changed his words and said, "After the label releases the press release, you must stay silent without any sort of apology. No matter who asks online or which reporter asks, don't say anything."

JisooLuv then said, "I want you to at least admit that it was not all made up. From that point on, all the hate will come to me," but Woollim said, "But you are not a public figure. You need to take�responsibility�for the situation that is�your�fault." When JisooLuv said, "Even the truth will all get cleansed," Woollim said, "I don't know what you mean by cleansing. We will simply say that the prosecutors have decided it was false and that we will be suing for defamation of character."

On May 6th, JisooLuv met again with the lawyer, where she received the agreement where she must stay silent for Woollim to cancel the suit. If she did not, she would have to pay 100 million KRW in fines (for the defamation claims).�

Woollim said, "I did not confirm the press release, but the general idea is this. There is a suit where posts about Seo Ji Soo were posted from another place. Since she is underage, the case has been sent to juvenile court. It'll [the press release] have that. If we write details, it won't be good for JisooLuv or us, so we'll make it dry. We'll write the indictment as well as saying that we will take a strict stance on those who try to harm the label artists with baseless rumors."

JisooLuv's guardian said, "Both sides were harmed. JisooLuv and your side were both invested, and since there were parts that were false as well as parts where the victim and Woollim both agreed on a point. Shouldn't that be in there [the press release]?", but Woollim said, "You say both sides were harmed, but it doesn't make sense from our point of view. The harm that JisooLuv received from Jisoo is something she has to work out personally, or something she has to prove by herself." They added, "Even if she did sexually harass JisooLuv, try suing her anywhere. Try suing for damages or even as a criminal case. JisooLuv is at a very disadvantageous situation objectively."

'THE FACT' called Woollim on the 11th and asked about such an agreement, they said, "How is that even possible? We have never met with JisooLuv. Try calling her yourself." On a second call, they again said, "It's not true at all. You can call JisooLuv." However, 'THE FACT' did note that JisooLuv could not speak of the situation at all as it was part of the agreement.

In an interview with 'THE FACT', 'D', who dated Seo Ji Soo in 2010, mentioned that JisooLuv had taken a break from school and had been to the emergency room so many times because she cried so much. She also emphasized that all the victims wanted was the truth, and to receive an apology. She personally had wanted to meet Seo Ji Soo to see what she would say for herself.

[A letter Seo Ji Soo allegedly wrote to JisooLuv that reads, 'It's really cold today.. [Censored name], you must be working hard. I miss you. I don't know why we have to give our phones away. It's so annoying ?? Be careful of colds and I'll buy you a long skirt, so wear it.']
