From forcing money, Nam Joo Hyuk and his group would also physically abuse some of his classmates including "B."

The bullies would hit him when he "refused to do something Nam Joo Hyuk asked or his group of friends asked, they would make me do 'Sparring.'"

With the new victim, revealing almost the same scenario, Management SOOP stood by the actor and denied the allegations.
