This guy claims, "My friends and I are being witch-hunted. It's true that I was wearing a rabbit headband and went to Itaewon that day. But the accident happened after my friends and I left Itaewon. I have proof." The earliest report of the accident was at 10:15PM and this guy was already at Itaewon subway station at 09:55PM and arrived at Hapjeong subway station at 10:17PM. He says, "I understand there must be some misunderstandings, but I hope people will stop the witch-hunting." He also says that he will be taking legal action against people who have spread false rumors about him.
On the 1st, he says, "Netizens say there is a group of 5 to 6 people who started pushing other people. That day, I went to Itaewon with just one friend. It was really crowded there, so we decided to move to Hapjeong station. It's true that I went through the alley, but people were not pushing each other at that time. I feel so wronged. I'm currently on my way to Itaewon subway station to see the CCTV recordings and other evidence that I did not push anyone."
