Accuser "A" Says They Will Not Accept Settlement + To Push Through To Unveil The Truth

Despite Chorong denying all the allegations that she had bullied A, who is also known as Ms. Kim, while they were high school students, Ms. Kim has shown no signs of backing down and is determined to unveil the truth about the situation.

On Tuesday, Apr. 6, Ms. Kim's lawyer said in a call to Financial News, "My client has no intention of reaching a settlement or an amicable agreement. This case contains just one alleged assault case. I have taken up lots of cases like this one, and most of them want to reach a financial settlement, but that is not what the victim wants. She does not want any compensation; she just wants the truth to be revealed. If the perpetrator, Chorong, does not officially apologize for the violence, we will keep pushing through until the end."

Ms. Kim's lawyer added, "The company stated that Kim changed her words and avoided meeting up, but that is all false. We have not been able to get into contact with any of her agency's representatives nor their attorneys."

Financial News reached out to PlayM Entertainment, the agency of Apink and Chorong, for clarifications of the idol's underage drinking photos released by Ms. Kim but did not receive an answer.
