In a recent video released on one of the most popular travel vlogs on Kwaktube's channel, actress and former APRIL member Naeun discussed the school and group bullying allegations while having a dinner with the host in Italy.

As they were traveling together, Kwaktube decided to share his true feelings, as he confessed that he was one of those who blocked Naeun after reading about the bullying rumors. "I feel a bit guilty about something.

Whenever the topic of school bullying was mentioned, I felt really sensitive. I read some news about you, and I was surprised and blocked you. I found out later that it wasn't the truth, so unblocked you," he told Naeun after a long time.

Even though the former K-Pop star remained calm, she said, "Many people blocked me. There were so many. Many people blocked me because of the rumors."

She added, "That did make me sad. I had no ill feelings, but it made me reflect on myself." The video quickly went viral as Kwaktube also shared his past experience as a victim of school bullying, and Naeun shed light on how tough the situation was for her.

Despite the school bullying rumors, a court discovered that the allegations against Naeun were false. The accuser was charged with defamation. However, the false case had a devastating impact on the group APRIL, leading to their disbandment several months ago, as reported by Soompi.

The decision to disband came after the bullying allegations against APRIL members, including Naeun. Although the legal case has ended, the scandal had a tangible impact on Naeun's career. Nevertheless, she did not give up, and later this year, it was revealed that she signed a contract with Namoo Actors and will act in the upcoming drama "Eye Shopping," starring Yeom Jung-ah and Won Jin-ah.
