Actor Jo Byung Kyu posts, then deletes an SNS post referring to his school bullying rumors

AKP STAFF

On February 22, actor Jo Byung Kyu uploaded a new Instagram Story post, referencing his ongoing school bullying rumors. The actor is currently facing allegations that he was a school bully during his school days at Westlake Boys High School in New Zealand. 

The actor wrote curtly, "I will tell my side of the story no matter what. Please wait."

Approximately 2 hours later, the post was taken down from Jo Byung Kyu's story. 

Netizens commented, 

"I'm sorry but it's over."
"Congratulations, that was fast!"
"You think you're in some movie or something??"
"So you're saying you have no intention of apologizing whatsoever?"
"We don't need teasers before a statement of apology. Wake up man."
"I don't wanna wait."
"People would be more willing to listen to both sides of the story if you would actually get to the point instead of using underhanded tactics."
"What have you been doing all this time."
"Are you trying to say you're almost done paying off all the victims?"

And more. Meanwhile, Jo Byung Kyu's label HB Entertainment has warned strict legal action against those who are found to be spreading malicious rumors regarding their artist.

Idk why the netizens are so quick to jump into the hate wagon. I mean there is nothing wrong with listening to both side of the story, Whatever that maybe !!

Well if he really turns out to be a bully with actual proof and not just some pictures, hopefully he apologises to the victim and reflects.

It’s so fun How people start to attack him and then when all accusations proved wrong the same people would say that they believed in him that he would never do something like this.
just fucking wait till the end before hating on someone. Hating is easy but it makes you ugly
