The school bullying suspicions surrounding actress Cha Ye-ryeon have reached a new turning point. Following the temporary blocking of an exposé post, her agency once again denied the allegations, and attention is now focused on positive anecdotes shared by someone who had previously known her.

Cha Ye-ryeon recently became embroiled in school bullying suspicions. At the end of last month, a person identified as A posted on an online community claiming to have been subjected to habitual harassment and physical violence during their school years by actress B, born in 1985, who attended Junggye Middle School.

Although the post did not directly mention the actress’s real name, Cha Ye-ryeon was identified based on her birth year, alma mater, and initials. At the time, Cha Ye-ryeon’s agency, HB Entertainment, stated that the allegations were “groundless.”

Subsequently, the post raising the school bullying suspicions suddenly disappeared. It was reported that a temporary measure (blinding) was issued on the 2nd, and the post is currently blocked from access in accordance with Article 44-2 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.

A temporary measure is a system under which portal or community operators temporarily suspend the exposure of a post when it is difficult to immediately determine whether rights such as reputation have been infringed upon, or when a dispute between the parties is anticipated.

However, it has not been confirmed whether this temporary measure was carried out at the direct request of Cha Ye-ryeon’s side.

Amid these developments, Cha Ye-ryeon’s agency once again denied the school bullying suspicions. On the 4th, the agency stated, “We are taking the current situation very seriously, in which unverified claims and speculation raised anonymously have been repeatedly spread, and criticism has even extended to the actress’s family.” The agency added, “We will thoroughly secure relevant materials and respond responsibly after legal review regarding malicious dissemination of false facts and personal attacks.”

Following this, positive anecdotes about Cha Ye-ryeon’s past also emerged. A post appeared on an online community from a netizen who introduced themselves as the director of a music academy that had been in charge of piano lessons for Cha Ye-ryeon during her early career.

The author recalled that Cha Ye-ryeon had taken piano lessons at the time, believing they would be helpful for filming. They further reminisced, “She took lessons thinking they would help with filming, and she was a pure and polite person.”

Additionally, he explained the reason for posting by saying, “It seemed like things were being pushed too far, so as someone who has seen Cha Ye-ryeon up close, I decided to share this.”

He added, “Of course, there may be victims. However, it does not seem right to drive a person’s life into the ground by leaving comments based on simple gossip rather than actual victimization.”

With the exposé post blocked and Cha Ye-ryeon’s side warning of legal action, attention is focused on how this controversy will unfold, as even someone who had previously known her has come forward to describe her usual demeanor.
