#Violence #Iljin activities #Core members… ‘Kim Heera Suspicion’ Three Legal Issues [SC Issue]

[Sports Chosun.com Reporter Lee Ge-eun] “I suffered damage from the standards for celebrities that say, ‘even if there is a fight, I am a bully and a school bully.’” Actress Kim Heera took legal action. The position is that they will cover up suspicions of school violence in this way.

On the 11th, Gram Entertainment, Kim Heera’s agency, said, “The agency expresses regret to a media outlet that treated the one-sided informant’s claims about Kim Heera as if they were proven facts, and condones the current situation that damages the reputation of the agency’s actress and causes unrelated people around her to suffer. “We decided that we couldn’t do it, so we decided to take legal action.”

The agency said, “The initial reporting media not only maliciously edited and reported the informant’s words contrary to the facts, but also tried to rationalize the legitimacy of the report by conveying the nuance of applying a ‘criminal crime’ by adding that they were considerate of the agency and the artist.”He claimed that the facts were distorted and reported. He also emphasized that he cajoled and coerced Kim Heera, saying, “If you admit it, I will adjust the level of the article.”

He continued, “The rights of many individuals are being violated due to the suspicions raised about Kim Heera. Due to the standard and generalization error frame regarding celebrities as ‘even if there is a fight, you are a school bully,’ even people who have nothing to do with you are being criticized for being members of a cafe.””The number of victims suspected of school violence is increasing,” he said, expressing his sense of injustice.

Previously, on the 6th, ‘Dispatch’ covered Kim Heera’s past, saying that she was a core member of the Iljin group ‘Big Sanji’ when she was a middle school student in 2004. According to reports, ‘Big Sanji’ frequently engaged in verbal abuse and assault, as well as extorting money and using it for entertainment. As a member of ‘Big Sangji’ named Kim Heer, she also left comments on her related cafe. Her name is Kim Heer, and although she admits that she was a member of the ‘Big Sangji’, she said, “She never hit anyone. Of course, that doesn’t mean she isn’t responsible. I think she lived as a bystander.”He denied the allegations of violence.

Afterwards, netizens claiming to be Kim Heer-ra’s school classmates appeared, and articles defending Kim Hee-ra were published one after another, and public opinion seemed to have taken a turn. However, on the 9th, ‘Dispatch’ revealed the content of a phone call between middle school classmates Mr. H and Kim Heera, sparking a controversy over school violence. In this phone call, Mr. H asked Kim Heera, “Honestly, you beat us and harassed us. I remember on a rainy day in the alley of OO Middle School. That day, you beat an acquaintance until his nose bleed, right?”to which Kim Heera responded, “I don’t remember everything. “It’s true that I did that to you,” he said, showing an indirect admission. However, the agency later released the full transcript of this call and said, “As mentioned in the call, H and Kim Here were close friends. However, due to H’s series of actions, Kim Here suffered constant damage, and as a result, the two became distant. “We ended up fighting and losing. I want to tell you that this is not the continuous harassment and assault that H claims,” he said, causing confusion.

Afterwards, a new claim was made that Mr. H was a perpetrator of school violence, causing confusion again. Meanwhile, today (11th), Dispatch reported on the process by which the testimony of another informant, Mr. A and Mr. B, changed and announced that it would refute their claims.

The truth of Kim Hee-ra’s allegations of school violence is also floating around, and the confusion is further aggravated as even the informants are involved. Now Kim Heera has announced her legal action, and attention is focused on whether this spy-on-the-sand situation can really be resolved in court.

▶ The following is the full official position of Kim Heera’s agency.

hello. This is Gram Entertainment.

We apologize for causing concern to many people due to the controversy related to our actress Heera Kim. We would like to apologize to the many people who have been disappointed and harmed by this incident.

Today, the agency expresses regret for a media outlet that treated the one-sided informant’s claims about Heera Kim as if they were proven facts, and decided that it cannot condone the current situation that is damaging the reputation of the agency’s actress and causing suffering to unrelated people, and is taking legal action. I decided.

We reveal the actions committed by the media in the course of reporting as follows, and we intend to take strong legal action against future unfounded content and those who unilaterally claim it.

Once again, we express our intention to take strong legal action against malicious acts against our actors, and we will do our best to protect our artists.

This is the position and series of processes regarding the media that first covered and reported the suspicions against Kim Heera.

1. The initial reporting media not only maliciously edited and reported the informant’s words contrary to the facts, but also tried to rationalize the legitimacy of the report by conveying the nuance of applying the ‘crime of gore’ by adding that they were considerate of the agency and artist..

For example, as mentioned in the exclusive press article on the 9th, “September 8, 2023, Heera Kim called Mr. H”and “Heera Kim issued a statement. Mr. H is evidence of school violence. So on the 8th, The phrase “I made an urgent call” is clearly a report that distorts the facts. After the agency’s statement, H sent a text message to Heera Kim saying he wanted to talk to her first, but the calls diverged and it was Kim Heera who sent the call later. He even put pressure on Heera Kim by listing unfounded information for the purpose of reporting it to the media, and Heera Kim, who made the call with a sense of guilt for not being able to protect her friend during the argument he was talking about, later realized that the call was maliciously intended.

2. On May 17, the media outlet visited the media outlet without an affiliated official and said to Kim Heera, who explained the suspicions, ‘If you admit it, we will adjust the level of the article. Then, she cajoled and persuaded Kim Hee-ra by saying, ‘I will allow you to return because it will be like the Kim OO incident.’

For example, in response to Heera Kim’s claim that she has never smoked, the same question was asked repeatedly and she was urged to give a different answer, saying, ‘There are so many informants who said they saw her smoking.’ They put pressure on Kim Heer-ra, who claimed innocence, saying, “It’s not important, so let’s skip it,”and contrary to their claim that they only published articles that could be verified, they published the informants’ words in a separate report, calling them a “cigarette errand.”Suspicions were mentioned in a clever way, leading to public misunderstanding.

3. The media said that the coverage had already been completed in May and that they had delayed publishing the article out of consideration for Kim Hee-ra, who is about to air the drama. However, even though the initial informants and Kim Heera cleared up the misunderstanding and reported it to the media, the media reported the suspicions. In this process, what we found out late was that after the media informed the agency of the situation in which the report was received, they secretly met with the informants before arranging a meeting to collect evidence to be reported, and when the informants recognized that there was a misunderstanding and tried to change their minds, they said, ‘If that happens, the report will be published. It was clearly mentioned that ‘you can’t produce. ‘ Since then, the agency has deceived us with lies and false actions, such as implying that there was no contact from the informants or that they had not met them.

The rights of many individuals are being violated due to the recent allegations against Heera Kim. Due to the standard and generalization error frame regarding celebrities that ‘even a fight can lead to bullying and school violence’, even unrelated people are becoming victims of being suspected of bullying and bullying just because they are members of a cafe. We sincerely hope that there will be no more victims due to indiscriminate reporting practices.

The truth of this incident will be determined legally until the end, and we will reveal everything in court, including errors in what the media calls evidence and misunderstandings with the informants.

We apologize once again for causing concern to many people due to this unpleasant incident.
