• Cha Ye-ryeon's side denies school violence allegations for the second time: "Secured relevant materials… Will take strong action after legal review"

As actress Cha Ye-ryeon continues to suffer for six days over "school violence allegations" that she claims occurred more than 20 years ago, she has foreshadowed a strong response, including legal action, through her second official statement. She has indicated a firm stance as the controversy has expanded beyond herself to include her husband Joo Sang-wook, daughter, and mother-in-law.

The school violence allegations against Cha Ye-ryeon surfaced on the 30th of last month. A post titled "Please stop your activities, you are the perpetrator of school violence against an actress born in '85" was uploaded to an online community, sparking the controversy. The author of the post, identified as Person A, claimed to have been subjected to habitual bullying and physical assault during their school years by Actress B, a female graduate of Junggye Middle School born in 1985. Regarding Person B, they stated, "She was a famous delinquent at school. In middle school, she was truly a devil. 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 claimed to have been frequently assaulted by Person B in the classroom, restrooms, and buildings near the school, resulting in injuries such as a ruptured eardrum and facial swelling. They also alleged that Person B constantly directed insults and abusive language at them, stating, "Decades have passed, but it is still so difficult that I am seeing a psychiatrist, taking medication, and living with depression and anxiety symptoms." Furthermore, they declared their intention to release testimonies from classmates and additional evidence if the allegations were denied.

Although the actress's real name was not mentioned in the post, Cha Ye-ryeon was identified based on her birth year, school of origin, and initials. On that day, Cha Ye-ryeon's agency, HB Entertainment, denied the school violence allegations, stating they were "groundless."

Even after the agency's denial, testimonies continued from individuals claiming to be Cha Ye-ryeon's classmates. The dispute surrounding the allegations spread to family members, with controversy shifting to her husband Joo Sang-wook and her recently revealed daughter.

Moreover, malicious comments were posted on her husband Joo Sang-wook's personal account, and narratives criticizing her daughter and mother-in-law emerged. Past words and videos were dug up, and the controversy continued. Testimonies from a caddy who claimed to have accompanied Cha Ye-ryeon while she played golf also followed, expanding the issue into a character controversy.

Comments claiming to know about her school violence allegations from over 20 years ago continue to be posted on Cha Ye-ryeon's account, with some demanding, "If you did something wrong, we hope you apologize now." Her real name, Park Hyeon-ho, and her school of origin are also continuously mentioned.

Despite Cha Ye-ryeon's denial of the school violence allegations, the controversy has continued. This time, Cha Ye-ryeon's side has foreshadowed a strong response.

On the 4th, agency HB Entertainment stated, "We express deep regret for causing concern to fans who care for the actress and the public due to the ongoing controversy regarding actress Cha Ye-ryeon online. We have previously conveyed our position that the claims regarding actress Cha Ye-ryeon's past raised online are 'groundless.'" They added, "We are taking the current situation very seriously, in which unverified claims and speculation raised anonymously continue to spread repeatedly, and criticism is directed even at the actress's family," expressing regret over the current situation where her family is being criticized.

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

With the agency foreshadowing a strong response, attention is turning to whether the school violence allegations surrounding Cha Ye-ryeon will subside. Both sides are making different claims about an incident that occurred more than 20 years ago. There is a victim but no identified perpetrator. Interest is focused on the future direction of the case as to whether this fact is a fabricated controversy or whether one reaps what they sow.
