Netizens A, who claimed that he was an alumnus of SEVENTEEN Mingyu, said on the online community on Feb. 22, "School violence is not reasonable. Fellow alumni could attest.

In regards to calling Mingyu an "iljin," the former classmate clarified that their school was an ordinary school that even the delinquent are those students who just get together in the neighborhood parks, while the "iljin" girls are those who have shorter skirts compared to other students.
As for the accusations of being friends with Cyworld bullies, the former schoolmate mentioned that he's also friends among the alleged "bullies" that goof around.
The alumnus added, "Mingyu was a friend who can talk comfortably and friendly except for strangers. He is so kind and good that even if you don't know him, he can become a close friend if he accidentally talks in the hallway or the playground."
"He was a friend who always ate lunch, played soccer in the playground, and wore only sportswear or PE uniform."
At the end of the post, the netizen affirmed that it was a false rumor, that's why he quickly explain for Mingyu as well.
