Many fans were shocked when certain individuals came forward and accused (G)I-DLE member Soojin of bullying. The idol did not respond right away to the allegations. On Friday, March 19, the "HWAA" hitmaker took to U-CUBE to explain her side of the story.
(G)I-DLE's Soojin Finally Addresses Ongoing Bullying Accusations
Soojin started her long post with an apology to everyone who was affected because of the issue. The (G)I-DLE member shared that she knows who her first accuser is since some of her schoolmates got requests of her images from her alleged victim, whom she named "B."
Though Soojin confessed that knows the identity of her accuser, it does not mean that she is guilty of bullying her. The (G)I-DLE member also debunked the claims of the alleged victim that the K-pop idol was one of the reasons why she developed thrombocytopenia (TCP).
Soojin made it clear that she never bullied her accuser or anyone in her life. However, the "Uh-Oh" hitmaker recalled that she had a heated argument with her alleged victim during their middle school days. The idol said she got so disappointed with the accuser for not honoring her word that she cursed at her over the phone.
During their meeting, Soojin claimed that she apologized to "B" over and over again. The "Latata" songstress also divulged that the alleged victim dragged her family into the issue by posting some screenshots of their direct messages without even knowing the real situation.
The (G)I-DLE member explained that she used a representative to meet with her accuser since "B" previously said that she was uncomfortable seeing her. Though Soojin badly wants to talk to her alleged victim, her agency continued on with letting a rep meet "B" instead. The idol made it clear that said she was not trying to avoid meeting her accuser personally. To read the entire explanation of (G)I-DLE member Soojin, click here.

Cube Entertainment Speaks About (G)I-DLE Soojin's Bullying Allegations
Earlier this month, Cube Entertainment revealed that it has been trying its best to check whether the accusations being thrown at Soojin are true or not. While the agency confirmed that the (G)I-DLE member was involved in an argument over the phone, it claimed that there is no enough evidence to prove that she bullied her accuser.
On March 11, it was reported that Soojin personally met with the claimed victim and that their discussion lasted an hour that day. The (G)I-DLE member, as per reports, maintained that she could not remember what happened in the past.
The accuser, allegedly, got so frustrated by Soojin's statements that she asked her the idol's purpose of meeting with her. The "Help Me" songstress, then, responded that she has never been a perpetrator of school violence.
Since the meeting did not resolve the issue, the sister of Soojin's accuser said that they would find other ways to fix the issues alongside the other reported victims of the (G)I-DLE member, which included South Korean actress Seo Shin Ae and some unnamed schoolmates.
