It has been revealed that Person A, who raised allegations of school violence against Kuk Dong-ho, a participant in the Netflix reality show "Single's Inferno 4," was referred to the prosecution.

Law firm Phil, which handles legal representation for Kuk Dong-ho, stated on the 6th, "The police recently referred Lawyer A, who was sued for violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (defamation) and attempted coercion related to Kuk Dong-ho, to the prosecution."

Law firm Phil added, "This referral is a result of law enforcement authorities acknowledging the suspect's criminal allegations, and we expect that the suspect's criminal responsibility will be strictly clarified. Not only the act of initially disseminating false facts, but also the act of repeatedly spreading them to damage Kuk Dong-ho's reputation may be subject to legal liability. If illegal acts are confirmed, we plan to take necessary legal measures, including additional criminal complaints and civil claims for damages."

Previously, on the 5th, Kuk Dong-ho explained his school violence allegations through a long post.

Kuk Dong-ho stated, "I have never dated Person B, nor were we in close contact or part of the same group. We attended different middle schools, and I was not in a position to know Person B's thoughts, actions, or surrounding relationships, nor could I act based on them as the other party claims." He continued, "The claim that I instigated someone to bully Person B using her, or that I aided such bullying while knowing about it, is difficult to establish from its premise. It is objectively hard to accept the explanation that I directed or aided school violence through a person with whom I had no dating relationship and no close interaction."

He further stated, "The claim of a 'cake confession attack' is also completely unrelated to me. I do not even know in what context, when, where, or by whom the incident occurred." He emphasized, "It is not true that I prepared a cake to participate in someone's bullying, or performed actions in the form of a confession tailored to a specific situation."

Kuk Dong-ho added, "Moreover, the other party initially made various claims premised on my relationship with Person B, but after I explained that part, they showed an attitude of accepting that the premise was inaccurate." He noted, "The other party posted a correction stating that we and Person B were not in a romantic relationship, but deleted the post when criticized. Although the post was deleted, the other party likely still holds the view, as revealed, that whether I and Person B dated is not important to them."

He continued, "Additionally, the other party has subsequently publicly requested tips regarding me and continuously shared anonymous tip contents. However, the existence of an anonymous tip and the truthfulness of its content are entirely different issues." He said, "What matters is not the existence of the tip itself, but how specific and consistent the content is, whether it is supported by objective materials or circumstances, and whether sufficient fact-checking procedures were conducted before disclosure. I believe that publishing unverified content as if it were fact must stop."

Previously, practicing Lawyer A raised allegations of Kuk Dong-ho being a perpetrator of school violence. A claimed, "Do you know that your girlfriend (Person B) had kids hit my head with a badminton racket, put a thumbtack in my chair while I was using the bathroom during break time, and applied strong glue to my locker lock so I couldn't open it? Do you know that even though you knew about it, you were also enjoying it because you were a famous trendsetter?"

As the controversy grew, Kuk Dong-ho denied the allegations, calling them "false facts." He stated, "I have never dated Person B. I am even in doubt whether such a person exists. The content currently being unilaterally claimed by a specific individual is not based on any facts, and I clearly state that I have no connection to those incidents."

He further refuted the allegations, stating, "If there are parts where I actually did wrong, I will not avoid them and will apologize. However, I cannot admit or apologize for things I did not do. I also cannot accept my reputation and life being damaged by content that is not true."

Subsequently, his agency Mood released a statement from legal representative Law firm Phil, announcing, "We have filed criminal complaints regarding violations of the Information and Communications Network Act (defamation) due to the dissemination of false facts and attempted coercion."

Kuk Dong-ho appeared on Netflix's "Single's Inferno 4," released in 2025, where he became the final couple with model Kim A-rin.
