The whistleblower who allegedly accused actor Song Ha-yoon of school bullying has arrived in South Korea to cooperate with police – a potential turning point 16 months after the controversy first surfaced via a JTBC report.
Song Ha-Yoon’s Bullying Victim Lands In Korea
In the fourth statement released on August 25, ‘A’ explained the details of the email exchanges with actress Song Hayoon’s agency. She said, “I had no intention of making this into a dispute from the beginning. After the third statement, I suggested to her law firm that we cease all legal action and resolve the matter with dignity.” This was her final act of goodwill and a proposal for an honorable exit.
‘A’ prepaid all travel and lodging costs, including airfare, hotel and transportation, before entering the country. Song’s side had publicly offered to cover those expenses in full, but ‘A’ declined, calling the offer ‘a limited, partial reimbursement.’
What Went Wrong?
“I will prepay all expenses, including airfare, lodging, and transportation, and settle all expenses in full upon arrival. Future related costs will be handled through separate legal procedures. Song Hayoong’s side represented it as paying 100% of the total, but in reality, it is only a partial settlement within a limited scope. Even with simple calculations, I will have to bear at least six times more than Song Hayoon’s limited support,” shared ‘A.’
For the unversed, it all began in April 2024 after a JTBC ‘Crime Chief’ report. ‘A’ alleged they were bullied by Song in 2004 while attending Banpo High School. Afterward, additional former classmates came forward, fueling rumors that Song had been forced to transfer schools.
