However, Oh is currently living in the U.S. and is constantly refusing to comply with the investigation, making the investigation difficult," he said of the legal proceedings.

The following is the full text of Song Ha-yoon's position.
Actor Song Ha-yoon filed a criminal complaint against Mr. Oh, the first distributor of the school violence controversy in which he was involved, on charges of 'violation of 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 investigation agency's request for attendance without justifiable reasons, the police issued a 'Notification Disposition of Nomination' 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 has never used any violence against Mr. Oh when he was in high school, nor has he been forced to transfer due to school violence. Public institution data, notarized statements, and evidence proving that their 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, that he had not witnessed such assault.
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 the classmate as a witness and pushed ahead with broadcasting reports.
In addition, I also contacted my homeroom teacher when I was in high school, and I was able to confirm that the claim that actor Song Ha-yoon was forced to transfer due to school violence was new to me.
Many of my classmates also came forward and made statements that "'If you get hurt, you won't know, you're definitely not a person who harms someone.'"
Actor Song Ha-yoon suffered great damage and had to suffer severe mental distress due to illegal activities that seriously damaged his reputation for 22 years. We decided that the truth should be revealed through objective investigation rather than a hasty explanation, so please understand that it took some time to convey the position.
Actor Song Ha-yoon bowed his head and deeply apologized for causing concern to those who have trusted and supported him. Currently, the contract period with the existing agency has expired, so we are preparing to be back in public with a new mindset in a new environment. We will try to repay you with a more humble attitude and maturity.
Please show a lot of interest and warm support for actor Song Ha-yoon's future moves. Thank you.
