Reporter Wu Mengting/Comprehensive Report
South Korean actor Kim Ji-so was bullied on campus, and even once rumors such as same-sex sexual assault were rumored, which caused him to remake the role of the TV series "Moonrise River" that he starred in at the time, and he was also terminated by the agency earlier. After 2 and a half months, he spoke out for the first time at IG, clarifying that he had not been sexually assaulted at all, and also said that netizens who spread false statements had taken the initiative to contact him, but the rumors were still fermenting, and he would harden up to sue.

Kim Ji-so updated the IG earlier, the first time he has issued a handwritten apology in early March. He first said that since the previous article was uploaded, he has been reflecting on the behavior he made when he was young, "Not only for the people who caused harm because of my incorrect behavior in junior high school 15 years ago, but also for the people who have always believed in me, supported me, and made me grateful since I was an actor."
But he also pointed out that 2 months ago there were many revelations about him on the Internet, even though there were many distorted facts at the time, but for the sake of those who felt hurt because of him, and not to bring trouble to the drama that was being broadcast at the time, he chose to shut up and not to do much defense, only uploaded an apology article.
However, as the rumors intensified, he mentioned, "In the above-mentioned similar false articles, there are false news that accuses me of sexual assault, and when these articles became news, the person who posted the article took the initiative to contact me, saying that the article he wrote was not a fact, and said that he was quite sorry that the fake news had become news, not only directly apologized to me, but also corrected the exposé and even made a request for deletion."

Even so, the rumors have spread out of control, and other websites continue to spread the same revelations, Kim Ji-so said, "Some contributors even said that I forced sex with the same sex, or spread sex videos with others, etc., which is fake news, but they immediately deleted these messages and hid after they became news."
"During that time, I always believed that one day the truth would come out, and I only focused on reflecting on my past mistakes, but when I was silent for the sake of reflection, the false content was like a class of real things, so I decided that I would take a legal response to the false facts." 」 Kim Ji-so revealed that he is now prosecuting and investigating the fake news and disseminators, and will continue to reflect on his past behavior.
