JYPE releases a statement about Hyunjin's bullying controversy

this is an interesting statement. they actually admitted to things.

So he owned up to the bullying and didn’t try to deflect. It’s interesting comparing the other scandals but let’s see how knetz react...

Seems he may just go on a break.

so he did give some apologies and they accepted it, seems like everything worked out well in my opinion

And Hyunjin's handwritten response as well.

kinda funny how his fans are still saying "no its not true!" though

so he admitted to it ok...

lets see what the consequences are

It's so weird being in both fandoms seeing the difference between twt carats and twt stays Like Hyunjin literally admitted and yet almost every single comment is just "How dare you make him apologize!"

I thought his fans said he didn’t do it and JYP already confirmed he didn’t, so why is he apologizing? This is a rhetorical question, don’t answer.

Fans really need to learn when to stop, grow up, and establish some common sense. Look at the difference in how this was handled. It was obvious there was truth to the situation. Hyunjin’s been exposed for his old attitude multiple times now. This time it just couldn’t get swept under the rug. Glad he’s finally allowed to address it. Should’ve done in from the get go when they had a lot less to lose.

Fans really think their favs are babies, it's rude to the victims and completely undermines his apology by continuing to insist none of the rumors are true.

Not them pulling a Taeyong and saying he was forced to apologize for no reason CHSKSKSKA brainless. All of them. It’s very sick.

He should really be thankful that the victims accepted his apology and didn't make a further issue of it and that jyp knew how to handle this best.

so he indeed bullied that poor girl ???

Quote from Minazuki

For what I could undertand, they investigated talking with Hyunjin's middle school teachers, friends etc but the allegations were completely different from what they remembered about Hyunjin. I think Hyunjin wasn't remembering well too. But he decided to respect the victims feelings and didnt make excuses, so apologized with them in person.

Ooookay in that case JYP's translation was a bit confusing. I'm glad Hyunjin apologized though, whether or not he actually needed to

i hope this will not turn out to be like Soojin's apology....

At worst, the accusations were true and Hyunjin did bully the victim.

At best, the apology is for general words that may have offended the victim or others in his middle school days.

It seems that JYP is reporting that since multiple stances are being said, there is no way to come to one truth, but an apology is being given because there were people who were hurt.

Yeah it was better to admit it. I sincerely hope that all the other idols who denied it really mean it, because if proven true shit could get really uglier.

I'm confused. I wish jype had been more clear on what was true and what wasn't, bc it seems like he admitted and apologized, but people on twitter seem to think this means that he didn't do anything?

It's stan twitter, so people are probably just lying to themselves. The infantilization of idols runs rampant on twitter and there's definitely a "my fav can do no wrong" mentality.

I think it's pretty clear based on the translation (maybe in Korean the nuances are different) that something did happen. But what that was and whether it was as severe as originally posted is not stated. It could have been that serious, or it could have been exaggerated.

Yeah I'm confused here too! I read it as him admitting but I guess others read it a different way

“We will do our best to make more careful efforts in the process of selecting trainees and artists”

Well damn

Yeah, that stung, even as a non-fan. But that is JYP's brand, "caring about personalities." So not really surprised.

JYP made it very clear. They couldn’t come to a conclusion to verify all the bullying claims, but what is true is that Hyunjin hurt multiple class mates with his attitude, so he apologized. The problem is they’re kpop stans, so they will find someway to twist words in their faves favor even if it makes zero sense

Quote from itiswhatitisss

Very satisfied with the way JYPE handled this. Released a statement ASAP, Hyunjin admitted to his mistakes and didn't try to change the convo or anything like that, and sent an apology to the victims vowing that he would never do such things again. The victims accepted his apology and it seems like everything is okay.

I think it'd honestly be better for him to take a short break after all this, just so he and his mental health can be okay.

yeah but i hope some people wont go and never forget this and then like a year later bring it up to ruin them, but atleast he is on good terms with op

im sorry but like what exactly is true and what is not?

since he apologized one of em must be true, but like which one lol some of those accusations were pretty harsh

im a bit disappointed in him ngl but he owned up and im like 90% he's a different person now so

Hmm yeah, that's how I read it at first. I just didn't expect people to continue to deny in the face of an apology and wondered if i had taken it the wrong way or something.

Quote from Sweet-Spice

Disappointed in him and yes it's good to own up to your past bullshit, I just can't hide my feelings.

Guess I should be thankful he just didn't lie and the company didn't play dumb to shield him.

He couldn't lie anymore & company couldn't play dumb anymore we should say.

Major yikes

especially because of wjin

i think the only one that have any right with Hyunjin statement is only the victim and in this case the victim accepted it so case closed.

I hope it will not turned out to be worst

The last line hit to the core, which is perhaps necessary in this case
