Song Ha Yoon's side has admitted that the actress had been forced to transfer schools due to school violence but denied that it was related to the slapping incident.
Song Ha Yoon had been garnering much attention and popularity for her role in the popular drama 'Marry My Husband' and recently has been accused of being a school bully. JTBC's 'Crime Chief' recently covered the story after the victim reached out to the program when he attempted to communicate with the actress but failed to get a response.
Following the 'Crime Chief' broadcast, there were allegations that Song Ha Yoon was forced to transfer school multiple times during her school years. On April 2, Song Ha Yoon admitted that she was "forced to transfer due to school violence," but stated that it was unrelated to the informant from 'Crime Chief.'
Entertainment news media outlet MyDaily reported, "An official from Song Ha Yoon's agency King Kong by Starship stated, 'It is true that Song Ha Yoon transferred schools due to a case related to school violence at Banpo High School'."
According to the report, King Kong by Starship acknowledged that Song Ha Yoon did transfer school due to an incident related to school violence but clarified that it was unrelated to the slapping incident.
The agency maintained that Song Ha Yoon had no acquaintance with the said informant.
Earlier, the informant told 'Crime Chief', that they were bullied by actress S and claimed, "I was in the 2nd grade while actress S was in the 3rd grade. We knew each other as seniors and juniors. She suddenly called me one day during lunchtime. Behind the high school, there was an apartment complex and a small pavilion playground. She called me there. When I arrived, she was sitting there and began hitting me as soon as I got there. I don't know why she hit me; I only remember being slapped continuously for an hour and a half."
The informant claimed that all he wanted was an apology from Song Ha Yoon and an explanation as to why she had slapped him for 90 minutes straight. The informant added that Song Ha Yoon transferred schools shortly after the slapping incident after being embroiled in another school violence case.
After the reports it was revealed that Song Ha Yoon graduated from Apgujeong High School after attending both Joongwon High School and Banpo High School. She attended three different high schools.
Initially, her agency denied all allegations and stated, "After confirming the facts with the actress regarding the claims made by the informant, we found no connection between Song Ha Yoon and the informant and confirmed that none of the allegations are true."
On the afternoon of April 2, Song Ha Yoon's agency changed its stance and admitted that the actress transferred schools but did not provide specific details about the nature of the school violence case that caused the forced school transfer.
I did bully, but not THAT person…
