[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Comedian hopeful Yoon Hyung-bin, who has been accused of turning a blind eye to verbal abuse and assault against aspiring comedians, has completely denied the allegations and announced plans for legal action.

Yoon Hyung-bin's agency, Yoonso Group, stated on the 17th, "The claims regarding Mr. Yoon Hyung-bin are completely unfounded," adding, "We plan to file additional lawsuits for defamation by false statements and defamation by dissemination of false information against those who spread baseless content that damages his image and honor."

Earlier that day, a post titled "I Accuse Comedian Yoon Hyung-bin" was uploaded on an online community. The author claimed that Yoon Hyung-bin ignored collective bullying that occurred at the Yoon Hyung-bin Small Theater located in Busan.

The author, identified as A (23), an aspiring comedian, wrote, "I joined Yoon Hyung-bin Small Theater at the end of October 2015 to learn acting, but I was only made to do menial tasks, and the staff verbally abused and physically assaulted me."

When A told Yoon Hyung-bin about these facts, he reportedly responded, "You have to endure it because you are young," and "It's because you don't listen well."

The bullying continued afterward, and A also stated that they were assaulted after a performance.

A appealed, "I have hearing impairment and suffer from panic disorder and schizophrenia," attaching a photo of a medical certificate.

They added, "I can prove my claims with phone call recordings and KakaoTalk messages," and "This is the conversation I had with Yoon Hyung-bin yesterday. I was waiting, trusting his promise to call me later, but then I received a call from the police station saying I was being summoned for a complaint."

Regarding this, Yoon Hyung-bin's side said, "A repeatedly threatened to spread false information online," and "As the threats continued, we filed a complaint against A at the Busan Nambu Police Station on this day."

Yoon Hyung-bin's side also stated, "Even after knowing that the complaint had been filed, A posted a baseless expos? titled 'I Accuse Yoon Hyung-bin' and spread unfounded content," adding, "We will take strong legal action against speculative reports, misinformation, and online comments."
