APRIL's hairstylist says, "I scoffed when she claimed to be being bullied."
Lee Hyunjoo had a 'main character syndrome'... It's not that no one touched her, but that they couldn't.
One reporter (NB: Kang Jooil) is releasing a series of articles. That reporter wrote an exclusive article three years ago and seems to be very favorable toward Lee Naeun.
"Lee Naeun spotted all over the streets"
"Lee Naeun resumes SNS after two years ... Still looks stunning in her new profile"
"Lee Naeun signs a contract with Namoo Actors ... Joins Goo Gyohwan under the same roof"
"Lee Naeun's sister says, 'Absolutely no school violence. Filed charges against malicious commenters yesterday'"
"Lee Naeun 'I live for late-night snacks and soju ... I don't gain weight'"
"Lee Naeun transforms into a hacker"
So how did she write about Hyunjoo? The only articles about Hyunjoo she wrote was DSP's (April's company) stance of filing a lawsuit against Hyunjoo.
"Beside Lee Hyunjoo, we were always the criminals"
"'Exposed to be the bully' Lee Hyunjoo opens a YouTube channel"
They denied it, arguing that Lee Hyunjoo decided to leave voluntarily after conflicts with the members. However, Lee Hyunjoo claimed that she was subjected to three years of assault, verbal abuse, and bullying, which led to her suffering from panic disorder and breathing difficulties. She also stated that she had to endure personal attacks and insults directed at her family. In response, DSP once again issued a statement saying that "(Lee Hyunjoo's claims) are completely one-sided and distorted, differing entirely from the objective facts."
What impact might this interview have?
Articles citing the interview by this one reporter are being published, and recently, people have been showing up on Lee Hyunjoo's Instagram comments, telling others to read the articles. Why are they doing this on Hyunjoo's Instagram? 🤔
Testimonies have emerged from people who claim to have closely observed former APRIL's member turned actress, Lee Naeun. Sports Kyunghyang reported on the 25th that they interviewed those who had been closest to April from their debut to their disbandment.
Regarding the 'bullying controversy' surrounding Lee Naeun, a former member of April, which travel YouTuber KwakTube defended and faced backlash for, those who claimed to have observed April closely came forward to defend her. Sports Kyunghyang reported on the 24th that they interviewed five people who were close to April from debut to disbandment.
"Shocking twist... Five April staff members: 'A victim who became the perpetrator in the bullying incident.'" Everyone, search this article on Naver.
Why isn’t there any response from Hyunjoo's side?
In 2023, Hyunjoo joined a small agency called Studio 1592, but since her profile doesn't appear on the agency's website, it seems she currently doesn't have an agency. Her last Instagram post was in August.
What kind of idol was Hyunjoo?
She was April's visual center.
She also worked really hard participating in the group's activities
Go listen to Hyunjoo's cover of Time of Our Life.
She has a beautiful voice.
Hyunjoo is good at performing on stage
Former trainees also gave testimonies on APRIL's case
(Regarding the falsity of the above) Currently, the accuser, the accused, and witnesses are in sharp disagreement over whether the above claims are false. The witnesses who claim the allegations are false are all affiliated with DSP Media, such as the April members, executives, managers, former members, and dance trainers, so it’s difficult to fully trust their statements. Additionally, determining the truth of accusations 1) and 2) is complicated, as personal feelings about group conflicts are very subjective, making it hard to assess objectively. As for accusation 3), although there's suspicion that the claim about a relationship between the accuser and the manager lacks credibility, it is hard to make a definitive judgment due to the lack of cooperation from witness.
APRIL's side sued Hyunjoo, but including the testimony from former trainees, the case ended with a decision of no indictment.

🥲 I heard there have been 7 lawsuits...ㄷㄷㄷ I wonder can posts like this also get you sued???
-Why are they so desperate to protect Lee Naeun? She’s not an extraordinary actress or a genius idol. There are plenty of former idols turned actors at her level. Why can't they let go?
-Reporter Kang Jooil, please write a balanced series of articles from Hyunjoo's side as well🙏
-How much money did she get paid under the table? She's really working hard.
-How much money did she receive? I feel sick just thinking about Lee Naeun. This is sickening.
-Now that APRIL doesn't have upcoming activities, they're trying to plan a comeback for Lee Naeun.
-I feel really bad for Hyunjoo.
-Honestly, after seeing all this, everything is just so strange and creepy.
-Hyunjoo is really adorable, she was born to be an idol. It's just that she ended up in the wrong group... It's so frustrating. I liked UNI.T too, though.
-Seeing all this just makes me even more opposed to them. I will never support her in the future.
-There must have been some kind of deal.
