1. [+453, -22] None of this just disappears because someone asked him “is this true?” and he replied “no”. His agency needs to stop threatening to sue everyone. He has his lawyers out there DMing victims and threatening to sue. Jo Byung Kyu himself needs to step up and clarify exactly what’s wrong and what isn’t. He claims to have not been in New Zealand in 2011 but a new post by another victim has him in a picture right there in 2011. How is he going to explain that? How many school bullying claims have been released already? Does he think threatening to sue will somehow make this all go away? You can’t just shut victims up with lawsuits, more will continue to come forward. What’s he going to do then?
2. [+212, -2] I lost all respect for him after I saw the DM to the victim threatening to sue unless they take down the post
3. [+139, -2] I have never seen another celebrity with so many school bullying posts ㅋㅋㅋ he only has one classmate who wrote a post defending him, and the rest are all claiming he’s a bully. Seems like he had some character issues back then.
4. [+126, -1] The part that stood out to me in the victim’s post is that his parents were night janitors at school and he still stole money from him. That’s so sad.
5. [+56, -2] There’s no smoke without fire
6. [+47, -3] I wonder how much his agency is paying all these victims off. Feels like they’re investing too much in this guy when he’s too short and doesn’t seem like he has the chops to make it in the long run.
7. [+39, -1] I applaud the victim for being brave enough to speak up. There’s nothing to be scared of. What you’re doing now as an adult will console the wounds you received as a child. Fighting until the end. Justice will be served.
8. [+35, -1] What more can be said when his lawyer sent a DM to the victim telling them to take down the post? If everything in the post was truly false, wouldn’t they just have filed a lawsuit knowing they would win? Why ask them to delete it instead? I also found it suspicious how he was so easy to drop the lawsuit the first time around too.
