What sparked all of the bullying accusations?

So, in case you don't know, recently a pair of twins, Lee Jae-yeong and Da-yeong were accused of bullying by former classmates. The two were formerly on a volleyball team, and were well known if Korea. The accusations included things like physical violence, stealing, and threatening people with a knife. The twins made apologies on instagram, ut after a petition reached over 100k signatures in an effort to call for an investigation. They were dropped from the national team indefinitely, along with their club, and will not participate in the Tokyo Olympics.

So this has clearly started a trend in accusations of bullying. We don't know if they are from trolls who want attention, victims who feel empowered, or antis.

So yeah, this is just some background info.

wow there are many bullying scandals it's hard to believe those aren't a cover up for the real issue

the real issue, the twins, has been mostly solved tho. As I mentioned in my original post, they have been dropped from the team.

plus naver is getting rid of the most searched tab on 25th which means scandals will be easier to cover up so people are trying to get it all out there before its gone.

My concern for this trend is only if the subsequent accusations are false, this makes the next bully accusation taken less seriously, and impairs the image of the accused.

I agree, it's probably very frustrating to actual victims who are seeing their abuse used in a malicious way, and making their own stories less believale.
