Apink Chorong's classmate has been forwarded to prosecution on charges on intimidation.
On the 22nd, law firm representing Chorong, Taerim stated, "As a result of the investigations into Park Chorong's case, it's been confirmed that the informant A made threats based on false facts and it has been decided that the case will be sent to the prosecution with the opinion of indictment."
"At the beginning of March 2021, childhood friend and classmate A sent a large scale report email containing false facts about Chorong's private life to a number of entertainment and social issue reporters based on the fact that entertainment industry was abuzz with suspicious of bullying. A then informed Chorong of this and advised her to retire from the industry. Our law firm issued a stop asking A to refrain from further actions however A did not stop making false reports. As a result, on April 1, we filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul."
"Over the course of seven months, police conducted a multifaceted investigation that included checking statements made by Chorong and A as well acquaintances who witnessed the scene and those who knew of the relationship between Chorong and A. As a result of the investigation, it was discovered that A accused Chorong with false facts including maliciously editing recordings and photos under the pretext of school violence, that was a social issue at the time. Investigators have filed charges of intimidation against A and forwarded the case to prosecution with an opinion of indictment."
"Police also conducted multifaceted investigations into A's claims of alleged assault by Chorong while in high school by investigating statements made by Chorong, A, and each acquaintance, however, due to conflicting statements, it was difficult to confirm whether the assault actually happened. We will do our best until the investigation is completely closed and the substantive truth is revealed."
