Amid allegations of school violence, Song Hayoon's side has stated the controversy as 'baseless rumors'. On the other side, new informant suggested that Song Hayoon was involved in a group assault, leading her to be forced to transfer to another school.
The initial informant claimed, "Song Hayoon and two of her friends hit a female classmate for 90 minutes straight. Song Hayoon provocated one of the assailants by claiming that the victim spread rumors about one of the assailants involved." The victim suffered a four-week injury, while Song Hayoon, along with two other assailants, were reportedly forced to transfer schools.
The victim confirmed being assaulted by Song Hayoon and two of her friends and acknowledged that all assailants transferred schools involuntarily. One of the assailant admitted to JTBC 'Crime Chief', saying, "It's definitely true that she (Song Hayoon) was involved in the assault. I can't deny that. We all deserved that punishment." The assailants reportedly visited the victim's parents after the assault to ask for forgiveness, but it's uncertain whether Song Hayoon also apologized or not.
Regarding this, Song Hayoon's agency, King Kong by Starship, stated, "It's true that Song Hayoon transferred schools due to allegations of school violence. However, she did not participate in the violence." According to the agency, the victim was Song Hayoon's classmate at the time. On the day of the assault, the perpetrators asked Song Hayoon to inform them if the victim came to school, and Song Hayoon only informed them because she was frightened.
Her agency explained, "Song Hayoon's wrongdoing was merely informing the other students. As she was active in the entertainment industry at that time, the agency wanted to quickly resolve the situation and voluntarily transferred her after giving compensation to the victim."
Additionally, the agency refuted the contents broadcasted by 'Crime Chief', stating that not all of it is true, and also mentioned considering legal actions against the informant and requesting broadcasting restrictions on JTBC 'Crime Chief.
According to the informant, she was beaten by Song Hayoon, who was her senior, for an hour and a half without knowing why, claiming that she couldn't resist because her boyfriend at the time was an Iljin and she had no choice. After the broadcast, Song Hayoon's agency stated, "Upon confirming the facts with Song Hayoon, we found that she is not acquaintanced with the informant and none of the mentioned incidents are true.
In relation to this, the informant stated on the same day, "It's impossible for them not to know who I am. Why would they call me from the US to Korea and even cover all expenses if they didn't know who I am? It doesn't add up. There are still many other evidence, but only some were disclosed in the report. Since Song Hayoon insists on not knowing me, I won't hide anymore."
Meanwhile, 'Crime Chief' side explained, "Song Hayoon agreed to come to our company today for a direct interview, but for reasons unknown, it was suddenly cancelled."
-No wonder why her acting in 'Marry My Husband' was so good... She wasn't acting afterall
-Oh Gosh... I'm deeply disappointed
-I guess that's the reason why her acting was really goodㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-That means the victim was not only one person...
-Why was she forced to transfer schools if she wasn't involved in the assault??
-???? I'm offended. Do they think the public are fools?
-Do you think we're fools?? Told y'all, expulsion was not a common punishment back then. Even if you did something wrong at school, you would either be scolded or do volunteer works. Schools would only expel students for serious cases.
-Didn't she transfer school twice?? What was the reason she transferred the first time?
-What kind of nonsense is that?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is interesting
-Are you kidding me??
-What kind of nonsense is that? I'm the same age as her. Back then, the punishment wasn't as strict as now. My seniors weren't forced to transfer schools even after they had a huge fight. So tell me how does that make sense?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Schools wouldn't just force anyone to transfer schools... Especially for no reasons.
