Actor Nam Joo-hyuk has been revealed as a perpetrator of school violence.
According to online media 'The Days', A, a former classmate of Nam Joo-hyuk from Soo-il High School revealed he was bullied by the actor for 6 years, from middle to high school.
A also revealed Nam Joo-hyuk hung out with so-called "iljin group" and together they gang assaulted and bullied not just one or two students.
A stated, "Nam Joo-hyuk cut in line during lunches, swore and assaulted me during school meals, forced me to run errands at the canteen and threw sharp lead in the back seat. My friends were severely bullied by him and avoid watching TV. They're currently receiving psychiatric treatment. I hope other kids that suffered because of him are able to live ok as adults."
A revealed his 2013 graduation album from Soo-il High where Nam Joo-hyuk graduated as proof.
An official from his agency Soop told media, "We just read the article and are checking the facts."
