Actress Cha Ye-ryeon returned to Korea after completing her schedule in the United States, amid controversy over school violence allegations. Although her agency had previously denied the allegations entirely, as suspicions surrounding her continued, they announced plans for legal action.

According to StarNews on the 4th, Cha Ye-ryeon returned home through Incheon International Airport on the 3rd. It was reported that she had been staying in the United States to film YouTube content and returned after completing her schedule.

As attention focuses on what kind of actions the returned Cha Ye-ryeon will take going forward, her agency announced a firm response to the suspicions spreading online.

On this day, HB Entertainment, Cha Ye-ryeon's agency, stated in an official position, "We have conveyed our stance that the claims regarding actress Cha Ye-ryeon's past raised online are 'groundless.' However, we are taking the current situation very seriously, in which unverified claims and speculation raised anonymously continue to spread repeatedly, and criticism is even directed at the actor's family."

They continued, "We will thoroughly secure relevant materials and respond responsibly after legal review regarding malicious dissemination of false facts and personal attacks. We will also take strong measures to prevent further damage from the spread of false information," announcing legal action.

The school violence allegations surrounding Cha Ye-ryeon arose when a related exposé post was uploaded to an online community on the 29th of last month. The author, Person A, claimed to have suffered continuous bullying and physical abuse during middle school from a female actress born in 1985. Cha Ye-ryeon was identified based on the birth year and school of origin mentioned in the post.

As the controversy spread, personal attacks continued not only against Cha Ye-ryeon but also toward her family. Comments demanding explanations flooded the SNS of her husband, actor Joo Sang-wook. In response, the production team of Cha Ye-ryeon's YouTube channel announced on the 1st via a notice that "YouTube comments are managed by the production team's judgment without the involvement of the cast," and stated they would deactivate some videos and comment sections to prevent indiscriminate spread of rumors and personal attacks toward her family.

Subsequently, the initial exposé post that triggered the controversy was access-restricted as a temporary measure on the 2nd. A temporary measure is a procedure that temporarily restricts access when it is difficult to determine whether a post infringes on rights; it is not a measure that confirms whether the content of the post is true or false.

As her agency has announced legal action regarding the school violence allegations against Cha Ye-ryeon, attention also focuses on whether Cha Ye-ryeon will directly reveal her position.
