Park Hye-soo’s side, accused of ‘school violence suspicions’, takes a stance to “sent false facts and defamation charges” just one day before the premiere of ‘You and I’

Actress Park Hye-soo announced a new position two and a half years after announcing legal action regarding suspicions of school violence. In particular, her announcement of this position attracts attention because it is the day before the press preview of her movie ‘You and I’. This is enough to make one wonder if she was trying to block questions that would be asked in advance at the press conference that would be held after the preview.

On the 9th, Park Hye-soo’s agency, Ghost Studio, commented on the progress of the defamation criminal complaint case, saying, “The investigative agency sent the case to the prosecution on the grounds that the charge of defamation was justified because the defendant violated the social evaluation of the complainant by stating false facts.), and an additional investigation is currently in progress,” he said. “In addition to the above criminal complaint, the actor also filed a lawsuit claiming damages for defamation by publishing false information. However, because the respondent’s residence was unknown, even service of the complaint was delayed for several months. “The actor 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.”

Suspicion of Park Hye-soo’s school violence was raised through an online community in 2021. At the time, her agency declared legal action against her suspicions, calling them “groundless,” and noting that Park Hye-soo would not discontinue her acting activities. However, at the time, the KBS2 drama ‘Dear M’ starring Park Hye-soo was postponed just before its first broadcast. This work was broadcast only overseas. Afterwards, Park Hye-soo claimed on social media that she was a victim of school violence, and she once again denied being the perpetrator of school violence.

The press conference scheduled for the 10th will be the first official meeting between Park Hye-soo and reporters since the school violence allegations. It is natural that questions will arise regarding Park Hye-soo’s suspicions of school violence rather than the fact that it is a low-budget independent film directed by actor Cho Hyun-cheol. For this reason, the agency’s statement of position appears to be intended to block or minimize questions in advance.
