Actress Kim Ga-yeon forgave exactly one cyberbully in her life.

On the 11th, a video titled "Why Kim Ga-yeon, who never settles with cyberbullies, dropped charges against just one person (ft. Im Yo-hwan)" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Kim Ga-yeon and Im Yo-hwan's Gaming Couple'.

That day, Kim Ga-yeon explained the background behind acquiring the nickname 'Ko So-ui (여왕)'. In fact, Kim Ga-yeon once made headlines by suing more than 100 cyberbullies.

Kim Ga-yeon said, "I have been plagued by cyberbullying since I started dating Im Yo-hwan," and confessed that from the time her daughter's existence became known, cyberbullying related to her daughter also poured in. She added, "Anger rose from a mother's heart, so I thought, 'This really needs to be stopped.'"

Kim Ga-yeon had declared war on cyberbullies numerous times. However, there was exactly one person whose lawsuit she dropped.

Kim Ga-yeon recalled, "My basic principle has always been no settlement, whether the person is a middle school student or not. But the prosecutor called and said, 'Ma'am, your father really wants to meet you.' I felt like we should meet at least once. It was the first time parents had asked for a meeting. While waiting at the police station, one of them arrived using crutches. A middle school student followed behind, entering with a terrified expression. I even thought, 'Did this child write that post?'"

Kim Ga-yeon explained that she later asked the student, "Why did you post that?" "You didn't write it yourself," and "Why did you post someone else's words?" She continued, "At the time, there was a site popular among boys. If you didn't use it at school, you would be ostracized. Even though it was anonymous, a rank badge appeared in front of you. The more posts or comments you made, the higher your rank rose. This student was ranked first in the entire school. He did it to avoid being ostracized at school. He couldn't write the original post himself, so he temporarily copied and posted someone else's words. Out of all those posts, this child happened to target me."

Kim Ga-yeon added, "The child spoke with a trembling voice; it wasn't acting. I never drop charges under any circumstances, but after hearing the child's story, I understood why he had no choice." She then explained the reason she uniquely dropped the lawsuit.

The reason she kept this fact undisclosed until now was to protect the student. She worried that if such details became known later, the student would learn it was his own story and get hurt. Kim Ga-yeon said, "He must be of college graduation age by now. I believe he is living a good life without any regrets," showcasing her magnanimous side.

Kim Ga-yeon married Im Yo-hwan in 2011 and has two daughters.
