Actress Cha Ye-ryeon, who had built an image as a filial daughter for repaying her father’s debts on his behalf, and as a good mother and wife who handles family matters decisively, suddenly found herself engulfed in suspicions of being a perpetrator of school bullying.

On the 2nd, numerous netizens have left comments on Cha Ye-ryeon’s Instagram and YouTube channel “Cha Jang-geum Cha Ye-ryeon,” demanding that she clarify the allegations of school bullying.

Netizens posted comments such as, “I hope it is not true, but if it is, I hope you apologize now,” “Please provide a quick clarification,” “The star of ‘The Glory,’ the real-life version of Moon Dong-in has appeared,” “What did Mr. Joo Sang-wook see when he decided to marry?” “Is the school bullying true?” and “What happened after your daughter’s face was fully revealed?”

On the other hand, there were also reactions supporting Cha Ye-ryeon, with comments such as, “I hope the truth comes to light,” “I am still in neutral. Let us wait for the results,” “Look at how everyone is pouncing on her now that they think it is their chance,” “Kind actress Cha will not be a school bully; I support you,” and “If it is groundless, we hope your agency responds strongly through legal means.”

On the 1st, an official from HB Entertainment, Cha Ye-ryeon’s agency, told StarNews regarding the ongoing suspicions of school bullying that “at this time, there is no position to make any additional announcements today.” However, the official added, “We are reviewing the content appearing online and organizing related materials,” and stated, “The direction of future response, whether an additional statement will be issued, and the timing have not yet been determined.”

On October 29, a post titled “Please stop your activities, female actress born in 1985 who was a school bullying perpetrator” appeared on an online community. The poster claimed to have been subjected to school bullying by a female actress born in 1985 from Seoul Junggye Middle School during her middle school years, alleging that there was an incident where she was hit in the face and her eardrum was torn.

In response, netizens identified Cha Ye-ryeon as the “female actress born in 1985 from Junggye Middle School.” The agency stated its position to StarNews on October 30 that the suspicions regarding Cha Ye-ryeon were “groundless.”

However, afterward, other individuals claiming to be Cha Ye-ryeon’s classmates asserted that she was “one of five members of a group of school bullies” and that she “played queen bee among the bullies back then,” demanding she acknowledge it, which further intensified the controversy.

On the other hand, someone shared conflicting accounts about Cha Ye-ryeon in the past, stating, “She was pretty at the time, and it is true that rumors were not good. There were quite a few people who disliked her. However, as far as I remember, she was not a kid who hit or bullied others. Since she did not come from a financially lacking environment, there was no stealing of others’ belongings or extortion.”

Cha Ye-ryeon has long maintained an image as a “filial daughter” who repaid her father’s 1 billion won debt over 15 years after he was sentenced to three years in prison on charges of land transaction fraud, and as a “capable working mom” who faithfully fulfills both her acting career and family duties. She also had an image as a loving couple with actor Joo Sang-wook, whom she married in 2017, and recently showcased her harmonious family by revealing the faces of her mother-in-law and daughter through her YouTube channel “Cha Jang-geum Cha Ye-ryeon.”

After debuting in the entertainment industry in 2005, Cha Ye-ryeon had a smooth career until she suddenly encountered a rock in her path after 20 years. As negative public opinion begins to spill over even to her family, attention is focused on what actions she will take.
