"'Delicious Rendezvous" production decided to edit out singer and actress Naeun's part in the upcoming episode for the show due to bullying controversy.
Naeun's Bullying Controversy
Previously on February 28, an individual claiming to be former APRIL member Hyunjoo's younger brother made a post claiming that she was bullied by her group members. This was followed by another post on March 1, a user posted online expressing his/her bullying experience in elementary school and claimed that the school bullying perpetrator was a member of the girl group APRIL Naeun.
The online user (who we will refer to as "A") shared that when he/she was in the sixth year of elementary school, Naeun hated "A" for no reason, and a group of students that included Naeun always picked on "A."
"A" shared that they were traumatized and afraid to go to school due to the perpetrators, which include Naeun curse at "A" all over again. The online user shared that he/she thinks that the bad experience was already considered as school violence, and "A" thinks that he/she deserves a sincere apology. The said victim commented that physical violence isn't the only type of violence. "A" also shared Naeun's elementary graduation photo to prove that they were schoolmates before.
Meanwhile, another post surfaced on an online community that also involves Nauen's bullying controversy. It is a screenshot of an online conversation shared in 2013 between someone with the name Lee Na Eun and another person. The screenshot photo shows Lee Na Eun commenting a threatening response to the other person's statement. Lee Na Eun's comment reads, "Do you also want to be sexually assaulted by Go Young Wook?" Go Young Wook is a singer and entertainer who sexually assaulted a minor.
Regarding the screenshot, DSP Media explained to a Korean news outlet stating that Naeun's past comment about Go Young Wook was edited. It is an old photo that is being spread again due to the recent controversy that the celebrity is involved in.
With all the bullying accusations were thrown at Naeun, DSP Media issued their response denying the allegations and expressed that they would take strong legal action against all posts that contain malicious slander and false information.
DSP Media addressed all the allegations about Naeun, which state:
"Hello. This is DSP Media.
On the morning of March 2, the company took a legal step and filed criminal complaints against the cases in which malicious manipulated posts and false information were spread regarding our artist (Naeun) through the law firm ELPS.
From this day, as we post this statement and onwards, the agency will take strong actions against all posts that contain malicious slander and false information about our artists. We will not be lenient nor accept any negotiation."
