A person identified as A, who accused actress Song Ha-yoon (38, real name Kim Mi-sun) of school violence, emphasized that "the forced transfer is a clear fact" and explained the reason for the 10 billion won lawsuit.
On the 30th, a video titled "The Testimony of the Whistleblower on Song Ha-yoon's School Violence Suspicion Part 1" was released on the YouTube channel "Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho."
In the video, A stated, "It is absurd that Song Ha-yoon's stance has changed drastically from last year to this year," adding, "Last year she claimed, 'There was school violence, but I was involved in it,' and 'There was no assault,' but this year she is asserting, 'There was no school violence,' 'There was no assault,' and 'There was no forced transfer.'
A continued, "After the revelation in April, I was going about my daily life without any response from Song Ha-yoon, but I received a call from the police saying she had filed a lawsuit against me this March. I felt very bad. How can the perpetrator sue the victim? I thought it was wrong," and added, "Another female senior who was assaulted by Song Ha-yoon also said she is 'shameless.' Classmates reacted by saying, 'She has always been like that, so it's not surprising.'
Regarding the reason for the transfer, A claimed, "There was definitely a forced transfer due to incidents of school violence. Could there be another reason for the forced transfer? Absolutely not. Lack of attendance days? That cannot lead to a forced transfer."
A further stated, "In the lawsuit she sent me, it said, 'I voluntarily transferred for active entertainment activities.' We are in the same school district, and it doesn't take long to drive. There cannot be a difference in active entertainment activities. Also, there is a clear record of disciplinary action, so all students know about it."
Regarding the situation during the assault, A said, "What I clearly remember is that it was during the time I was wearing my summer school uniform, and shortly after I was hit, I heard that Song Ha-yoon was forcibly transferred to Gujeong High School," adding, "Song Ha-yoon can confirm the timing of the transfer. As the party involved, she can directly obtain the school records. The reason I did not raise an issue about the incident at school was because it was a 'wild era' where we were told to 'shake hands and reconcile,' and also because Song Ha-yoon was dating a close male senior of mine, which made it a tricky situation."
Additionally, A mentioned that he is a U.S. citizen and recently returned to the country to undergo a police investigation. He stated, "I came back directly because I was afraid that Song Ha-yoon might retaliate against those who helped in this case. If the investigation is halted, it will not resume if I do not come back."
A also described the 10 billion won damages against Song as "a symbolic amount." He stated, "I have not filed a lawsuit yet, and I can pursue charges of false accusation after all issues with Song Ha-yoon are resolved," emphasizing, "The victim should not be reversed with the perpetrator, and I wanted to show how frightening it can be when the perpetrator responds to the victims."
Previously, A reported Song Ha-yoon's school violence allegations through JTBC's "Incident Report" in April last year. He claimed that he was assaulted by Song Ha-yoon for 90 minutes while attending high school in August 2004 and also revealed Instagram DMs and KakaoTalk conversations with agency officials.
Song Ha-yoon's side denied the allegations, stating, "It is completely false, and we have never met," and filed a lawsuit against A for defamation, obstruction of business, and threats.
Song Ha-yoon's law firm, Jium, announced on the 2nd of last month that "A, being a U.S. citizen, has not complied with the investigation, leading the police to issue a designation notice," to which A responded, "I have never spread false information or fabricated or distorted anything," and indicated plans for legal action against the false accusation charges.
