[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Comedian Hong Hyun-hee has firmly denied allegations of school violence against her.

On the 11th, Hong Hyun-hee stated through Bliss Entertainment, "My appearance during my school days was no different from now, so how could I have ostracized friends by belittling their looks? That makes no sense," adding, "School violence is absolutely not true. I am confident, so let's face this directly."

Earlier, on the 10th, a netizen who introduced themselves as a high school classmate of Hong Hyun-hee claimed on an online community that they were ostracized and verbally abused by Hong Hyun-hee and her friends during their school days.

In the post, the netizen wrote, "I also recall (Hong Hyun-hee) pointing out Miss J's appearance and ostracizing her. I can't forget the face that threw eraser dust from behind, cursed, and when eating school meals, threw rice and side dishes just a finger's worth while sneering."

In response, Hong Hyun-hee's agency said, "The author of the post has been habitually writing such posts for several years," adding, "We have collected all comments and false claims posted over the years and were preparing to file a defamation lawsuit. We ask for restraint from indiscriminate speculation and spreading false information."
