The last few days actor Jo Byeong Gyu has been swept up in rumors of bullying involving his schoolmates in New Zealand. In the midst of this issue, the KBS program "Come Back Home" starring Yoo Jae Seok and Jo Byeong Gyu suddenly postponed the shooting process.
While many have attributed this delay to rumors of Jo Byeong Gyu's bullying, the producers of "Come Back Home" gave different reasons. They stated that filming for "Come Back Home" had to be postponed due to technical issues.
However, the production team was reluctant to provide further explanation. "The program title was confirmed later than expected, so the shooting schedule was automatically postponed," explained the producer.
"Come Back Home" itself is a reality show centered around the homes and hometowns of celebrities. Every week the production team presents a new guest star who will share past memories of visiting his hometown.

Meanwhile, the rumors of Jo Byeong Gyu's bullying began on February 16 after a post was uploaded to an online forum by someone claiming to be the victim of the actor's bullying (A). But HB Entertainment as Jo Byeong Gyu's agency confirmed that it was a false rumor.
The next day, a different online user (B) wrote a post on an online community accusing Jo Byeong Gyu of being a bad boy and bully during school. This accusation has also been denied by another online user (C) who claims to be Jo Byeong Gyu's classmate.
It didn't stop there, because on Friday (19/2) another online user (D) wrote a number of posts that cornered Jo Byeong Gyu. He detailed all of Jo Byeong Gyu's evil deeds at school including verbal abuse, physical abuse, being forced to pay for food, vandalizing schoolwork, smoking and dating. To support his statement, D shared photos of Jo Byeong Gyu at school activities as proof that they had studied at the same place, namely Westlake Boys High School.
HB Entertainment has again released an official statement responding to the rumors written by B. They firmly declare war on rumors by processing this matter legally. But the agency hasn't discussed the latest accusations written by netizen D. (wk / eval)
