The bullying controversy surrounding April has been reignited.

The internal bullying scandal resurfaced recently as member Naeun appeared as a special guest on the popular travel YouTube channel Kwaktube. During a trip to Italy, she discussed the school bullying controversy with the YouTuber, bringing the issue back into the spotlight.

Following Naeun's latest controversy with Kwaktube, former DSP employees and acquaintances have released more alleged evidence and claims.

The latest alleged evidence suggests that DSP Media representatives and April members tried to persuade a male trainee to falsely testify that Hyunjoo skipped practice to go on vacation with her boyfriend.

Speaker 1: Lee Naeun...

Speaker 2: You don't even know her that well.

Speaker 1: Right. We never actually hung out or anything like that.

Speaker 1: But... they apparently want me to say... and it's not like they want me to straight out lie but...

Speaker 1: They want me to say that 'We were together. We went on trips.'

Speaker 2: (Sigh)

Speaker 1: They want me to say that 'We went on a trip to Gapyeong.'

Speaker 2: What kind of nonsense is that?

Speaker 1: They want me to testify.

Speaker 1: And apparently, they'll buy it for 10 million KRW (~7,483 USD).

Speaker 2: (Sigh) Who?

Speaker 1: April. They called Yoon Young hyung. Yoon Young hyung told me, 'If you have a photo of you and Hyunjoo hanging out, they'll buy it for 10 million KRW each.'"

Following the latest revelation, Korean netizens have gathered in a popular online community where this transcript was shared and left comments of shock and outrage. Many expressed disgust, noting that the new evidence suggests the remaining April members were intent on forcing Hyunjoo out of the group.

They commented:

"They are devils... This is like exhuma... They were trying to remove the center member to place a new center member."

"This is so crazy."

"Hyunjoo fighting..."

"They have such a criminal mind."

"I can't believe they said they would buy the photos from him."

"This is so disgusting."

"Why couldn't they just let her be?"

"Hyunjoo, you've endured so well."

"They are so mean. It's disgusting."

'Wow..."

"The perpetrators are not even remorseful."

"This is so evil... The devil even won't do something like this."

"I don't want to see them anywhere."

"They are trash."

"I thought this was something you see in a drama... Can't believe this actually happens."
