[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Nah] Girl group (G)I-DLE member Sujin, who has repeatedly denied allegations of school violence, also denied accusations that she bullied actress Seo Shin-ae, who was her classmate in middle school, and said, "I strongly request Seo Shin-ae to clearly state her position."


On the afternoon of the 19th, Sujin stated through a fan community, "Every time I clarified my position regarding the (school violence allegations), Seo Shin-ae posted on social media at the right timing, causing many people to misunderstand that I was violent toward Seo Shin-ae."


She claimed, "Even when my agency, Cube Entertainment, contacted Seo Shin-ae's agency, there was no response," and added, "I never bullied or spoke ill behind anyone's back during my school days."


Last month, a post was uploaded on an online community claiming that the poster's younger sibling had been a victim of school violence by Sujin in the past, and that Seo Shin-ae was also bullied by Sujin.


At that time, when Sujin's side released a statement denying the allegations, Seo Shin-ae posted "None of your excuse" on her Instagram.


Additionally, on the 4th, when the agency announced Sujin's suspension from activities, Seo Shin-ae posted, "Your brilliant spring was a cold winter and a harshly long night for me."



Meanwhile, on the same day, Sujin listed and refuted the various school violence allegations made against her, and her agency also filed a lawsuit against the poster who claimed Sujin was a perpetrator of school violence and malicious commenters for spreading false information.
