Jo Byung Kyu directly comments on his unresolved 'school bullying' accusations at press conference for tvN's 'The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch'

AKP STAFF

On the afternoon of July 21 KST, director Yoo Seon Dong and the lead cast members of tvN's 'The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch' appeared at a press conference in light of the series' premiere this weekend. 

On this day, the series' lead actor Jo Byung Kyu began by addressing questions related to his unresolved school bullying accusations. The actor stated, "I am careful in addressing this use, but I would like to say that I put in great effort for vindication, that 'it is not true'. I am still continuing my efforts now. It has taken much time, as it involves an individual who is overseas, and so I am now returning with a new project before a conclusion has been reached." 

He continued, "As a lead actor of this drama, I feel immense responsibility. I am fully aware that this drama is the final product made from the blood and sweat of numerous staff and crew, the director, and fellow actors. That is why I hope that the focus of today will be on 'The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch'. I also believe that I approached the filming of this project with that much desperate resolve and gave my best efforts. Please pay attention to 'The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch'."

Starring Yoo Joon Sang, Kim Se Jung, Yeom Hye Ran, Ahn Seok Hwan, Jin Sun Kyu, Kang Ki Young, Kim Hieora, Yoo In Soo, and more, 'The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch' premieres on July 29 at 9:20 PM KST.

He's innocent until proven otherwhise. The accuser is chickening out, refusing to come to Korea and what do you expect Jo Byung Kyu to do? Put his life/career on hold just because someone accused him without concrete evidences?

The accuser literally threw the rock and hid the hand so what now K-netizens?

Well said and well done- good luck with your new drama and your return. You should not be carrying the accusation round your neck like an albatross- good for you!
