Article: "Mingyu's official statement is crazy"
Source: Pann
It's a bad idea to say that you don't want to take more responsibility for things you admitted to doing wrong in the past. Somehow, he made himself look like a thug...
So bullying your friends is just a joke? Don't write the position ambiguously, if you've done something wrong, apologize because you did wrong and if not, say no. At first, you said you had no memory but on the official statement the words change to laughing from the side?
What unintentional behavior? Wasn't it true that you laughed along with your group next to you when they bullied the victim? Tell it correctly. Isn't it true that you grabbed the victim's chest with ill intent?
....Summary of the position statement....
Victim 1 (a friend who received psychiatric counseling because of the suffering): I played a joke with my friends, but I never intended to harass. I'm sorry if I unintentionally hurt you.
Victim 2: I don't remember. The victim also has no friends to testify, so the case is closed.
Victim 3: I was just playing along. I'm sorry if the victim was victimized by unintentional behavior
He basically doesn't want to be bothered about his past bullying actions...
- [+303, -29] It's basically confirmed he went around with an iljin group but he's denying bullying after he clearly said he was laughing on the side? There are rumors from first discloser's statements that he was beat up by a group of iljins and Mingyu helped from the side..
- [+286, -28] How can you apologize directly to the victim through the company ㄹㄱㄴ
- [+173, -114] This is even worse than Soojin's case because he’s a male idol
- [+118, -5] This is a non-apology released only so that the fans can shield him from his scandals..
- [+107, -9] So he "allegedly" had a conversation with the victim but its the agency releasing his position, agency releasing his apology, the agency revealing what he wants to say to his fans...
- [+85, -115] Pann b*tches are seriously scaryㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ they'll kill over a manㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ그 stop please
- [+84, -65] I'm Mingyu's fan too but I'm really disappointed in him because of the paintings. The statement may be a bit vague but is it really confirmation that he was a school bully? The victim was understanding of it too... so why is everyone...
- [+77, -10] It's only natural that he's getting mentioned alongside Soojin and Hyunjin. Among the idols that also got accused of bullying, Mingyu is the only one coming off this unscathed. Soojin and Hyunjin's images took huge hits over their scandals
- [+50, -7] We're not saying he did or didn't do those disgusting things. But he's saying it was a joke and also claiming he can't rememberㅋㅋ? He's the perpetrator but he's basically using the victim as a scapegoat
- [+48, -12] Soojin claimed to have no memory either ㅋㅋㅋ
