Mnet's new girl group debut project 'I-Land 2' was embroiled in a school violence controversy.
On March 26 KST, a post claiming to have been a victim of school violence against contestant 'A' of Mnet's 'I-Land 2' is gathering attention in online communities.
The author claimed that they were bullied by 'A' for two years when they were in middle school. The author revealed the circumstances of the bullying, such as "A was verbally abusive and called me dirty and ugly," and "A's friends stole my bag and I couldn't go home."
The author also said, “My shoes were often stepped on and I often felt people looking at me like an insect.”
The author said that they had a difficult time receiving psychiatric treatment and that “A never apologized to me.”
The author said that they suffered for nearly 5 years due to this incident and said, "I can't see A becoming an idol. She didn't even apologize, so I think it will be harder to see her doing well."
The author added weight to their claim by uploading A's middle school graduation photo.
Various opinions are pouring in from netizens regarding the post claiming that the school bullying was exposed.
Some people showed support for the author, while others say that A's position should also be heard.
In addition, a netizen claiming to be A's school classmate also appeared and took A's side, saying, "A apologized."
While opinions are divided due to the controversy over school violence against participants of 'I Land 2', attention is focused on how Mnet will respond.
Doesn't this go along with MNet's philosophies? Create drama out of thin air?
