On the 21st, (G)-Idle's Soojin released a statement through fan cafe and admitted to cursing out her friend on a call, smoking a few times and breaking dress code but denied all allegations of bullying and assault brought forward by 4 netizens. She also denied having a conversation with actress Seo Shin-ae.
Soojin wrote, "It's true that I stood out as a child in school so there were always bad rumors about me. I remember cursing at that friend. At that moment, the unni answered the phone and scolded me. I said sorry to her and hung up. Since then I stayed away from her since we both seemed to mutually have bad feelings for each other. I've never assaulted her friend, never ridden a motorcycle. I've never sent a group text that led to bullying. I've never worn others school uniforms or stolen items. As for the juice comment, I don't remember but I can't imagine doing something like that. I never had a conversation with actress Shin-ae while in school. I'm really sorry that happened to her."
In the meantime, actress Seo Shin-ae shared two cryptic posts alluding to Soojin's alleged abuse.

- [+10,443, -62] Looking at her apology you can tell she wrote it with speculative attitude. Does it make sense for her to say "I believe I didn't do that" and ask us to trust in her apology when she's not even sure what she did?
- [+7,410, -48] It's imperative that teenagers learn that they have no future if they commit violence in order for our society to be healthy going forward. I hope this #BullyToo movement keeps moving forward so that the perpetrators realize they have no place in society
- [+6,876, -51] Even though Seo Shin-ae hasn't revealed her position yet, seeing the Jeong-do photos I'm more inclined to believe in the victims' testimony because it seems more credible...
- [+2,016, -14] Between Soojin and Seo Shin-ae who's been acting in the industry for 10 years, who are we more inclined to believe? Seo Shin-ae has nothing to gain from this..
- [+1,454, -5] How could you have a conversation? Weren't you cursing her in the back?
- [+1,179, -129] How is she an idol with that face?
- [+986, -9] So she remembers breaking dress code, smoking and swearing at her friend but never had a conversation with Seo Shin-ae? Is that what she's going with?
- [+740, -9] Is she seriously saying "she can't imagine doing that" in her apology? Why, was she suffering from amnesia thenã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹? Is she being serious right now?
