Actress Cha Ye-ryeon's social media feed has been flooded with comments demanding the truth.

Currently, the latest post on Cha Ye-ryeon's personal social media account is a photo from last month's 19th, showing her attending a show by designer Ji Chun-hee alongside her husband, Joo Sang-wook.

Just days ago, comments expressing envy of the beautiful marital bond between Cha Ye-ryeon and Joo Sang-wook were the norm, but now the page is in complete chaos.

Netizens expressed anger toward Cha Ye-ryeon with comments such as, "There isn't just one or two victims, so how can you say it's baseless?", "My friend used to live in Junggye-dong and had been telling me about this for a while," "I felt something was off about Cha Ye-ryeon from the moment I first saw her; she gave me an unpleasant impression," "What happened after your daughter's face was fully exposed?", "What did Joo Sang-wook see in her to marry?", and "An article reported that you hit someone hard enough to swell their cheek, but is Junggye Middle School also a lie?"

Additionally, comments such as, "If it's true, I think it would be right to apologize sincerely," "Don't [expletive], just explain. Don't whitewash things; act honestly," "The kids who used to hang out together often end up marrying well," and "How do you tear an eardrum? I'm more curious about what kind of hit is needed to cause that" are pouring in.

Previously, on the 29th of last month, a post titled "Please stop your activities, female actress born in 1985 who was a school bully" appeared on an online community. The author, Person A, claimed to have been subjected to habitual bullying and physical violence during their school days by Person B, a female actress born in 1985 from Junggye Middle School. Person A revealed, "She was a notorious delinquent at school. She was literally a devil when she was a middle schooler. Seeing her appear on TV or YouTube smiling, being consumed as a good wife and mother, an actress who cooks well, and a healthy character, I feel pain."

Person A also claimed to have been frequently assaulted by Person B in the classroom, restrooms, and buildings near the school, suffering injuries such as a torn eardrum and swollen cheeks. They stated that Person B would yell at them and use profanity, adding, "Even though decades have passed, it is still so difficult that I am seeing a psychiatrist, taking medication, and living with depression and anxiety symptoms." Person A also raised their voice, saying, "If you deny it or say you don't remember, I will submit additional evidence, such as testimonies from classmates."

Although Person A did not disclose the real name of the actress in question, Cha Ye-ryeon was identified based on the content of the allegations, and Cha Ye-ryeon's side stated that the claims were "baseless."

However, when Cha Ye-ryeon's side said the allegations were "not true," classmates stepped forward as Person A had suggested. Person C stated that Cha Ye-ryeon belonged to a group of delinquents, saying, "It is a fact that she was one of five female delinquents who smoked, picked on kids, borrowed their gym clothes and textbooks as if they were her own belongings, and intimidated classmates." They also claimed, "I had wondered whether no one came forward because she wasn't that much in the spotlight before, or whether her agency managed things well, or perhaps she was a delinquent but there wasn't serious school bullying. I am leaving this comment with the hope that if there was school bullying, you will definitely apologize and receive some healing."

Person D also added weight to the school bullying allegations against Cha Ye-ryeon, stating, "I think it's amazing given the articles saying the school bullying is baseless. Don't you know? I believe it is human decency to acknowledge what happened back then when you were playing queen bee among delinquents and apologize to those you hit. If we run into each other in the restroom, you'll grab my jaw. I thought she had a big heart from the moment she debuted."

Cha Ye-ryeon married Joo Sang-wook in May 2017 and welcomed her daughter in July of the following year.
