On the 2nd, Song Ha-yoon's legal representative, Ji-eum, a law firm, issued an official statement saying, "Actress Song Ha-yoon has consistently insisted that the information is false in connection with last year's alleged school violence and filed a criminal complaint against the first distributor, identified only by his surname Oh, by collecting relevant evidence." he said.
Oh has refused to comply with the police investigation, claiming that he is a U.S. citizen, and the police confirmed through the Ministry of Justice that Oh is still a Korean national. After Oh refused to return home, the police issued a notification of Oh's name around May and registered him on the wanted list. If Oh enters the country, the investigation will resume immediately.
Song Ha-yoon clearly proved that the suspicion was false through public institution data, notarized affidavits, alumni and teacher testimonyThe witness of the assault claimed by Oh also said that there was no such fact, and even though he also delivered it to Oh, Oh pushed ahead with the broadcast report," he said.
He also stressed that third parties who participated in the dissemination of false information will be held civil and criminal responsibility.
Song Ha-yoon, whose contract with the agency has expired, is currently preparing to resume his activities in a new environment and added, `We deeply apologize for causing concern to those who have trusted and supported us so far.'
Earlier in April last year, according to JTBC 'Case Team Leader', A claimed that Song Ha-yoon, a senior in high school, called him in at lunchtime and assaulted him for about an hour and a half when he was in his second year of high school in August 2004. Above all, Song Ha-yoon's boyfriend at the time was the most popular senior called Iljin, so he said he couldn't fight back, and he lost contact without receiving an apology for his wrongdoing. In the meantime, "I don't want any monetary compensation at all. However, I want to hear about the reason for the assault, and I hope for a sincere apology.'
Accordingly, Song Ha-yoon's agency King Kong by Starship "As a result of checking with Song Ha-yoon himself, there was no contact with the informant, and all of the contents were not true. Currently, the contents of indiscriminate speculation and speculation are spreading due to the unilateral claims of the informant. I earnestly ask you to refrain from unrefirmed facts and speculative reports," he said in an official statement.
▶Next is Song Ha-yoon's full position
Hello. I'm Ji-eum, a law firm that is the legal representative of actor Song Ha-yoon.
Regarding the controversy over the school violence more than 20 years ago, which was raised in relation to actor Song Ha-yoon last year, actor Song Ha-yoon has since revealed that the controversy is not true. However, it was too difficult to prove what did not happen, and we did not respond as actively as we did.
In the meantime, actor Song Ha-yoon has been working hard to collect evidence to prove that the claims of the first distributor, Mr. Oh, are false, and as a result, a number of evidence has been collected by himself. Actor Song Ha-yoon has filed a criminal complaint against Mr. Oh based on this.
Our law firm speaks on behalf of the actor about the recent actions taken by the actor and the investigation status, while clarifying the actor's official position on the controversy as follows. It also informs the actor's personal safety of recent changes and future activities plans. For more information, please refer to the statement below.
Actor Song Ha-yoon filed a criminal complaint against Oh, the first distributor of the school violence controversy involving him, on charges of violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection and obstruction of business by hierarchy.
The police tried to conduct a related investigation by confirming the need for an investigation into Mr. Oh's defamation and other acts, but he continued to refuse to comply with the investigation, claiming that he is currently living in the United States and is a U.S. citizen. Accordingly, the police confirmed that Mr. Oh still had Korean citizenship through official channels such as the Ministry of Justice and conducted an investigation, but Mr. Oh refused to enter Korea and is still refusing to comply with the investigation.
As Oh did not respond to the request for attendance by the investigative agency without justifiable reasons, the police issued a 'Notification of Nomination Disposition' against Oh around May, and registered him on the wanted list of police computer networks. Accordingly, when Mr. Oh enters Korea, the fact will be immediately notified to the National Police Agency, and the investigation will be resumed immediately.
Currently, actor Song Ha-yoon is further considering legal action that can be taken in the United States and is preparing to hold third parties responsible for spreading false information with their legal representatives.
Actor Song Ha-yoon never used any violence against Mr. Oh when he was in high school, nor did he go to a forced transfer due to school violence. Public institution data, notarized statements, and evidence that reveal that these claims are false were submitted to the investigative agency.
Actor Song Ha-yoon was confirmed by a high school classmate who identified Oh as a witness to the assault he had suffered. The classmate also made it clear to Mr. Oh that he had never witnessed such an incident, but he informed him that Mr. Oh packaged himself as a witness and pushed ahead with broadcasting reports. In addition, when he was in high school, he contacted his homeroom teacher and was confirmed that Song Ha-yoon's claim that he was forced to transfer to school due to school violence was new to him, and several classmates came forward and made a statement saying, `If you are damaged, you will not know, you are not a person who harms you.'
Actor Song Ha-yoon suffered great damage and had to suffer severe mental pain from illegal activities that seriously damaged his reputation for 22 years. We ask for your understanding that it took some time to convey our position as we judged that the truth should be revealed through objective investigation rather than a hasty explanation.
Actor Song Ha-yoon bowed his head and deeply apologized for causing concern to those who have trusted and supported him. The contract period with the existing agency has also expired, so we are preparing to be back in front of the public with a new mindset in a new environment. We will try to repay you with a more humble attitude and mature appearance.
Please show a lot of interest and warm support for actor Song Ha-yoon's future moves.
Thank you. The end.
