The poster admitted to the rumors and fabricated facts, he was a soldier in the military service, because the enlistment life was too irritable, so he made up the facts and posted.

A small partner who does not know the cause may be confused, who is Kim Ji-soo? What about the violence in schools? What follows is a wave of event retrospectives.
#卷入校园暴力嫌疑的韩国娱乐圈
I don't know if you remember, in March this year, Han Entertainment exposed a series of campus violence incidents, so much so that netizens suspected that there was any big move in South Korean politics.
At that time, many young actors and idols were involved, including cho byung-gyu, the male protagonist of "Surprising Rumors", Xu Suizhen, a member of the women's group (G) I-DLE, Lee Na-eun, a member of the girl group April, Kim Ji-so, a model and actor, and so on.

Among them, the most violent and the biggest loss should be Kim Ji-so, a model and actor.
In March this year, a South Korean website published an article titled "Actor Kim Ji-so is the perpetrator of school violence", which said that Kim Ji-so became the leader of the school's bad students in the second grade of middle school, and other students would be bullied, beaten, coerced and insulted by Kim Ji-so and his accomplices.
The poster said that he was also subjected to various school violence after being targeted by Kim Ji-so and his accomplices in the third grade of middle school, and now he does not need Kim Ji-so's apology, because an apology cannot change what has happened, and he believes that Even if Kim Ji-so apologizes, it will not be sincere. He now stands up to expose Kim Ji-so, just hoping that Kim Ji-so will always remember that he is the perpetrator of school violence.
Soon after the article was published, netizens who claimed to be Kim Ji-so's classmates posted articles confirming Kim Ji-so's school violence when he was in school.

What is even more appalling is that a netizen who claims to be a classmate of Kim Ji-so's high school broke the news that kim Ji-so had a very chaotic relationship between men and women in high school, and once filmed a video of himself having a relationship with a junior high school girl in the bathroom and spread among classmates. In addition, Kim Ji-so has repeatedly forced male classmates to have sex.

The incident was out of control, and then Kim Ji-so admitted to the school violence on social platforms and apologized:
Handwritten apology letter
"I sincerely apologize to those who have suffered because of themselves, and there is no room for justification for the crimes committed in the past, which are unforgivable acts. I sincerely apologize to all those who have been hurt by me on their knees. ”
But there has been no response to the sexual violence controversy.

At that time, Kim Ji-so was filming the big-budget drama "Moonrise River" as the male protagonist, and he also got out of the drama because he was involved in the bullying incident. The drama was then remade with a change of actors, which had a huge impact.

The agency Keyeast also terminated the exclusive contract after negotiating with Kim Ji-so, and he also undertook the compensation of 3 billion won in some advertising contracts.
Two months later, Kim Ji-so confessed on his personal social platform that he was still in self-reflection.
"I've made unforgivable mistakes before, even though I've carried an aura in the spotlight, but I've always lived a life of guilt in my heart, and I'm willing to get down on my knees and sincerely apologize to those who have been affected by me!"
At the same time, he also pointed out that some of the revelations on the Internet are exaggerated, hoping that fans and netizens can polish their eyes, distinguish between facts and lies, and deny rumors of sexual violence.
"At that time, there was no defense, in order not to affect the filming of the new drama, and now that I have lost the lead role and the job bowl, I have to stand up and clarify!"
Although Kim Ji-so admitted his mistake and clarified some facts, some netizens still criticized him. Some netizens once again exposed a number of his black history, including someone who witnessed him using a paper bag to put on the face of the victimized male classmate and asking the other party not to take it off during class, causing an uproar on the Korean Internet.

Now that Kim Ji-so's suspicions of sexual violence have been completely cleared, and he has also treated rumor-mongers leniently, can he still be saved?
Some netizens said: Although sexual violence is a rumor, his school bullying is a nail in the coffin. Those who are bullied by him will leave a psychological shadow for a lifetime.
Another part of the netizens said that after the incident was exposed, he admitted for the first time that he got off the hot drama and terminated the contract with the company to compensate for liquidated damages, and had been duly punished. Compared with him, we should pay attention to those who continue to circle money in school violence.
It is not difficult to find that the masses are contradictory, demanding that public figures be perfect on the one hand, because they represent the image of society as a whole, and on the other hand knowing clearly that there can be no perfect people.
This creates a blurred line of scrutiny that judges the extent to which a public figure has made mistakes to define whether he deserves to be forgiven. The harshness of the audit line is determined by the social environment and the ability and personality of the person being audited, so there are many "controversial" characters.
The power of public opinion is important, but it is often accompanied by huge side effects, such as rumor-mongering, invasion of privacy, etc., and the complexity of human nature often gives birth to imperfect perpetrators.
So all we can do is let the bullets fly a little longer.
