'Solo House 4' participant Gu Dong-ho has once again released a rebuttal statement regarding school bullying allegations.

On the 5th, Gu Dong-ho's agency Mood issued a lengthy official statement titled, "Our Position on the Dissemination of False Facts and Defamation Regarding Gu Dong-ho."

On this day, Gu Dong-ho's side stated that all allegations of school bullying against Gu Dong-ho currently circulating on various online communities are baseless, explaining that they are "unfounded accusations."

Furthermore, Gu Dong-ho's side clarified, "Regarding the allegations of third-party involvement, after our agency directly verified the facts concerning specific individuals identified as perpetrators on online platforms (the individual's name was altered by the accuser from 'Moon O-eun' to 'Moon O-hye' to 'Moon O-ye'), we confirmed that these individuals have absolutely no connection to this incident. We express our deepest regret that these individuals, finding themselves in an absurd situation, have even mentioned innocent people, thereby distorting the situation and exacerbating confusion."

Emphasizing that all four items of the accuser's apology demands regarding the school bullying allegations are also baseless, the statement refuted the following: "The allegation that Gu Dong-ho instigated others to commit school violence," "The allegation that he publicly humiliated students in front of the class through the so-called 'cake incident'," "The allegation that Gu Dong-ho is known to be working as an influencer instead of his main profession as an accountant, and that this has caused him to unintentionally cause mental distress to viewers through broadcasts," and "The allegation that the lawyer in question uploaded the aforementioned content to their personal SNS (X), leading to media coverage and severe damage to their business to the point of paralysis."

Previously, on the 3rd, a netizen publicly attacked Gu Dong-ho on their personal SNS, revealing, "I suffered school bullying from a participant in 'Solo House 4.' I lived in hell while 'Solo House' was airing. I was a victim of school bullying and workplace harassment."

However, Gu Dong-ho firmly denied the school bullying allegations, stating, "I clearly state that I have no connection whatsoever to these incidents," while the accuser continues to make revelations related to Gu Dong-ho, maintaining a sharp confrontation.

Our Position on the Dissemination of False Facts and Defamation Regarding Gu Dong-ho

This is Gu Dong-ho's agency.

We are issuing our official position regarding the false facts currently circulating online related to Gu Dong-ho and the reports resulting from them.

1. Gratitude for Reports and Legal Consultation Support We sincerely thank many individuals who expressed concern over the unfounded allegations against Gu Dong-ho, and especially those who provided legal advice and sent related emails. We are reviewing all the valuable opinions received. We kindly ask for your understanding that we cannot respond to each one individually via phone.

2. Acceptance of Additional Reports and Victim Solidarity We are currently receiving numerous reports related to this matter. In particular, we are closely monitoring indications that defamatory posts targeting Mr. Gu Dong-ho are being intentionally spread in conjunction with the business strategies of specific legal representatives or law firms. According to materials obtained from reporters, these reports suggest that this revelation goes beyond a simple personal accusation and may involve the public relations and interests of a specific law firm. Additionally, our agency is officially accepting reports from individuals suffering from indiscriminate slander and the dissemination of false facts due to their faces being exposed online, such as influencers and celebrities in cases like this. Those who have experienced similar damage are welcome to contact our office at any time.

3. Clarification on Third-Party Involvement Allegations Regarding specific individuals identified as perpetrators on online platforms (the individual's name was altered by the accuser from 'Moon O-eun' to 'Moon O-hye' to 'Moon O-ye'), our agency directly verified the facts and confirmed that these individuals have absolutely no connection to this incident. We express our deepest regret that these individuals, finding themselves in an absurd situation, have even mentioned innocent people, thereby distorting the situation and exacerbating confusion.

4. Legal Response to Malicious Comments and Dissemination of False Facts We strongly reiterate that our agency will show no leniency regarding the current indiscriminate malicious comments and posts damaging Gu Dong-ho's reputation. We are currently scraping posts through internal monitoring and will promptly proceed with all possible legal procedures, including IP tracking. We hope that no unpleasant incidents occur where individuals are falsely identified as perpetrators due to baseless slander.

5. Rebuttal to Allegations Regarding the four items of apology demands made by the accuser concerning Gu Dong-ho, our agency confirms that all such content is baseless, and we state this clearly:

· Claim 1: The allegation that Gu Dong-ho instigated others to commit school violence

· Claim 2: The allegation that he publicly humiliated students in front of the class through the so-called 'cake incident'

· Claim 3: The allegation that Gu Dong-ho is known to be working as an influencer instead of his main profession as an accountant, and that this has caused him to unintentionally cause mental distress to viewers through broadcasts

· Claim 4: The allegation that the lawyer in question uploaded the aforementioned content to their personal SNS (X), leading to media coverage and severe damage to their business to the point of paralysis.

If the accuser is convinced that their claims are true, they should stop the irresponsible public opinion manipulation and dissemination of false facts, such as distributing Gu Dong-ho's childhood photos online without permission to provoke shame or forcing unspecified many people to be treated as perpetrators. Instead, they should prove their case clearly through formal legal procedures. Our agency will determine the merits and demerits through legal proceedings and will respond boldly without any leniency.

Thank you.
