What sparked all of the bullying accusations?

Threatening people with a KNIFE? WTF...

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.

once a trend starts, it moves along till it loses fire. Remember the whole celebrities parents owing taxes, all of sudden all these people came forward claiming this, then it died down. I wonder what the next accusatory trend will be.

boredom with a sprinkle of unoriginal imaginations

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

No wonder I am feeling every kpop idol is accused of bully today.

Or it’s a cascading effect and more people are braver to come forward.

Please don’t make such dismissive claims.

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.

Because Bullying is a problem in Korea theres like this movement now to hold bullies accountable and stop all bullying. This just blew up out of nowhere.

I think they went way too far. I don't think there's any apology that can fix this...if it's true.
