[BREAKING] [RUMOR] G-Idle's Soojin accused of school violence

I'm going to preface this by saying don't kill the messanger. I know that there were several cases of idols being falsely accused so it's okay to maintain a neutral position (that's what I'm going to do). I just don't think translation sites have picked up on this yet but the issue is blowing up on Pann, TheQoo and Instiz.

The original accusations were uploaded on Facebook accusing Soojin of being a bully in middle school. The OP also said that they are in the process of gathering 'solid' evidence and that they'll release it tomorrow.

Let me know if you want a deeper translation and I'll see what I can do.

Until now I'm still like ???? about Hyolyn's scandal like you have 7 years when Sistar was active to expose but you wait till they disband and even that there is still like what no evidence and her career was affected by it

:rolleyes1::rolleyes1::rolleyes1::rolleyes1::rolleyes1:

Actually Sistar is not a good example. Even before they debuted, there were many, many accounts of all the members (apart from Bora) being ilijins. People even asked Starship to cancel Sistar's debut.

However, 2nd Gen was a much more forgiving time so the issue was glossed over and it was rumored that Starship paid off everyone who tried to accuse them. So it makes sense that Hyolyn's accuser came forward when she was away from Starship's protection since her bullying accusations were the most serious even pre-debut.

Also Hyolyn admitted the accusations and met with the victim to apologize.

Funny how all this nonsense accusations with NO PROOF are popping up after she soojin selected as Muse of a big lipstick Peripera.

Honestly, it does seem like an issue of jealousy. Anyway, usually with bullying accusations, there definitely will be more accounts of people either supporting her and debunking the claims (like with Karina and Giselle recently or Naeun's last year) or other victims coming forward. Let's wait and see if either happens.

what does ilijin mean?

It's the Korean term for 'bully' or just delinquents.

I don't think she admitted to the accusations. She actually threatened to sue the accuser which a lot of us would love our faves companies to do but she got backlash from the public for literally trying to protect herself. It was only because of the backlash she got for threatening to sue, that she went to settle with the accuser.

So the conclusion was that there wasn't any proof of the bullying, but she settled whatever accusations with the accuser peacefully

I mean if she was innocent, she would've continued to sue.

Personally, I'm inclined to believe Hyolyn's accusations because there were MANY posts about her being a bully before Sistar's debut and even during their debut. Things got buried but accusations randomly kept popping up here and there over the years with many supposed victims. It was a miracle things stayed buried that long but it was Starship's good PR.

Quote from Hopkinz

Can we move on from middle school for real?

I mean if she did bully somoene she owes them an apology. I got bullied in middle school and the I still carry the wounds and am emotionally affected to this day (my self esteem is absolute shite for example). So, I get very disappointed when people ask victims to move on when things like this have a lasting effect on their lives.

One of my bullies is a famous dentist in my city and my blood boils whenever I think she's living a good life after making my life in middle school living hell. These things don't go away. Have some empathy please.

Again, not saying these accusations are true, but asking victims to move on because a perpetrator was young is a very insensitive thing to do. Different people deal with bullying and assault in different ways.

Quote from icyruios

She stopped suing because the public literally went like "why are you suing" and got backlash.

It's like lets say you own a company, and someone went to say your product is bad and faulty. Are you going to sue the person and create a bad image for yourself? Or will you settle with the accuser peacefully?

Hyolyn went to sue first, and that backfired so she went to settle peacefully. Just like how a company wouldn't sue a person for saying bad stuff about their product and get a tainted image by the public, and instead will choose to settle with the accuser.

Regardless of any posts or whatever, none of them are your so called "evidence" which essentially proved nothing.

So forget about Hyolyn (even though I brought it up myself), for Soojin's case, if there is no evidence, then it's all nonsense

Just clarifying that Hyolyn's accusations didn't pop up out of nowhere 7 years later. They were always there.

Quote from Alex_Murphy

Those accusations are so ridiculously numerous you'd believe all Koreans were either a bully or a victim at school.

Korea does have a major bullying problem actually.
