(G)I-DLE Soyeon Accused of School Violence
In an anonymous post shared to an online community forum, a poster accused Soyeon of being a bully during her middle school years. The user shared an incident in which Soyeon bullied them on their birthday. The bullying allegedly got so bad that the user had even contemplated moving to a different school. The user also claimed that they had evidence piled up until they switched phones, and all of the evidence is now gone.
However, she believes that karma will repay Soyeon and even wishes Soyeon success in her career.
Their user wrote:
"Soyeon, do you think you would remember me if you read this post? I was hurt so many times because of your words.
You said that since it was my birthday, I had to treat everyone. You kept pestering me and asking me what I was going to buy you. There are more incidents, too... But I will no mention all of them here. I was having such a hard time because of you that I even contemplated whether or not I should ask my parents to send me to study abroad.
I screenshot the texts we exchanged back in the day, but I do not know where they went after I switched phones. But I know you will end up paying even if I do not come forwards. I still wish you success. I even enjoyed watching you on 'Queendom.'"
As of press time, neither Soyeon nor CUBE Entertainment has released a statement on the matter.
