A netizen is alleging that Lee Shin Young bullied him in the past.
Recently, an article was published in an online community where the writer alleged, "I'm from the same middle school as an actor from 'Crash Landing on You' that was an iljin in the past. This actor committed a number of school offenses by gathering classmates and committing gang violence in the classroom."
The writer added, "He was famous in the area. There's not one person in town that didn't know his name. He erased his identity after high school but my friend experienced bullying by him personally."
"There are people saying that they went to the same middle school and high schools and never heard of it arguing that it must've been someone else around me. I will post the voice statements of the victims, the self-written statements of those who helped me and I will also share what I experienced to Lee Shin Young's actor friends."
He then shared additional photos and graduation photos of Lee Shin Young who had claimed to be a model in high school.
Lee Shin Young's side has yet to reveal their official position on the issue.
[Update]
Lee Shin Young's agency has denied the rumors. His agency Forest Entertainment wrote, "We checked the content of what was written on the anonymous community with people including his family and friends to find out the exact situation.
We were able to confirm that he has never been involved in anything related to the content written on the anonymous community. We will be taking strong legal action for all those spreading false information."
- [+1,523, -75] He's #1 on the search rankings right now. He needs to put out an official statement and retire from the entertainment industry for good.
- [+1,310, -25] If it's true he needs to apologize quickly. Otherwise sue him for libel.
- [+1,120, -55] If it's true, leave the drama. If they're lying sue them. I hope this writer didn't post this article excitedly out of resentment.
- [+130, -4] There's never been an iljin revelation that hasn't turned out to be true. He's done.
- [+120, -2] If it's true I don't know why he even wanted to be a celebrity. Just live in self reflection.
- [+114, -2] He's the guy I dared to call "Little Kim Soo Hyun". If he's really a school bully there's no shielding him. If it's true he needs to screw off from the entertainment industry!
- [+84, -0] All celebrity images are fake
- [+67, -2] You'll find out later when you're old that kids that used to be iljins don't turn out well. It's better to live quietly and reflect on yourself and ask for forgiveness earlier. Otherwise it will come back to you in the future right when you're about to hit success and grab you by the ankles~
- [+59, -0] His agency needs to come out with their statement quick. He might not be a celebrity anymore if they keep acting like that.
- [+54, -1] Not like he had much screen time on 'Crash Landing on You' but it's going to be annoying having to edit him out~
