Accusation Stems from JTBC affairs Program
Earlier on the same day, JTBC’s affairs program “Scandal Supervisor (Hangul: 사건반장; RR: sagonbanjang; lit. Case Chief)” reported that it had received an allegation of school bullying against actress “S“, who has recently gained attention for her villainous role. The accuser, identified as “A“, claimed that they were “subjected to an hour and a half of silent violence by Song Ha-yoon while they were in high school.”
Although “Scandal Supervisor” did not reveal S’s real name, it used footage that could identify the actress and described her as “an actress who has been active with her villainous roles.” As a result, netizens speculated that the actress in question was Song Ha-yoon, who recently played the villainous character Jung Soo-min in the tvN drama “Marry My Husband.”
King Kong by Starship Refutes Claims, Calls for Responsible Reporting
King Kong by Starship reportedly told “Scandal Supervisor” that the actress “has no recollection of committing school bullying.”
The agency emphasized, “Currently, indiscriminate speculation and presumptive content are being spread based on the accuser’s one-sided claims. We earnestly request that you refrain from reporting unconfirmed facts and presumptive information.”
