Park Hye-soo, after 2 years of ‘suspicion of school violence’, takes a stand: “Investigation is ongoing, defamation through false information” [Official position]

(Xports News Reporter Lee Ye-jin) Actor Park Hae-soo released an additional statement regarding the ‘suspicion of school violence’ for the first time in 2 years and 7 months.

On the 9th, Park Hye-soo’s agency, Ghost Studio, issued an official statement, saying, “We would like to inform you of the progress of the defamation criminal complaint case.”

The agency said, “The investigative agency sent the case (sent a recommendation for indictment) on the grounds that the defendant violated the social evaluation of the complainant by revealing false information to a significant extent, so the charge of defamation was justified. Additional investigation is currently in progress.”

He continued, “In addition to the above criminal complaint, the actor also filed a lawsuit claiming damages for defamation by publishing false information. However, because the defendant’s residence is unknown, even the delivery of the complaint has been delayed for several months.”

Lastly, he added, “The actor and our company will do our best to clearly uncover the truth, and we will continue to work to protect the rights and interests of our actors.”

Park Hye-soo was at the center of controversy in 2021 due to suspicions of school violence. As a result, KBS 2TV’s pre-production drama ‘Dear M’, which was scheduled to be aired, experienced the pain of having its domestic programming canceled.

Immediately after the allegations of school violence were raised, Park Hye-soo continued to claim her innocence, calling them “obviously false facts,”and today (9th), she made an additional statement after 2 years and 7 months. She is Park Hye-soo and she is about to release the movie ‘You and I’.

Below is the agency’s full statement.

hello.

This is Ghost Studio.

We would like to inform you about the current status of legal proceedings regarding actress Park Hye-soo.

We ask for your understanding for the delay in expressing our position on the incident.

First, we would like to inform you about the progress of the criminal defamation case. The investigative agency forwarded the case (sent a recommendation for indictment) on the grounds that the defendant violated the social evaluation of the complainant by revealing false information to a significant extent, so the charge of defamation was justified, and additional investigation is currently in progress.

Separately from the above criminal complaint, the actor also filed a lawsuit claiming damages for defamation by publishing false information. However, because the respondent’s residence is unknown, even service of the complaint has been delayed for several months.

The actors and our company will do our best to clearly uncover the truth, and we will continue to strive to protect the rights and interests of our actors.

We are sincerely grateful for the support and trust of our fans who have always loved and cared for our actors, and we will do our best to show an even better side of ourselves.

thank you
