The anonymous netizen claimed, “Every time I see Naeun’s face I am reminded of my past memories.

Due to what I went through in elementary school, I cried and made a fuss a lot of the time. So even now, my mom grits her teeth whenever she sees Naeun on TV.

Naeun’s agency immediately disputed that the bullying allegation is not true and stated that legal actions will be taken. Meanwhile, Naeun — shocked by the netizen’s claims — is said to have made changes to her schedule so she can pull herself back together.

The rumors are false and we will be collecting all related data to take legal action.
