In early March 2021, APRIL became one of the idol groups accused of bullying by their former member, Hyunjoo. Due to the controversy alleged against the members of APRIL, the production team for the upcoming musical "K-School" has issued a response to questions about the postponement of its premiere.
Regarding the controversy Yena is having with other APRIL members, the production team of "K-School" commented, "We do not intend to edit Yena's appearance in this film. She will appear in the film as her character Amy. We recently encountered controversy surrounding April. However, the accusation is very different from the Yena we saw and worked on on set. "
"We believe that the situation can be resolved through mutual respect and dialogue. We have been working with Yena since June 2020 when she was first cast for the film. She gets along well with all the staff and respects everyone on set."
"K-School" is a musical film that tells the story of the lives of young people who attend a prestigious fashion school. Set in an elite fashion school where students work hard to achieve their dreams, finding love and friendship on the way. Amy (Yena) is the daughter of the principal. With her sense of fashion and extraordinary beauty, she is known as the celebrity on campus and is nicknamed "Paris Hilton of Korea".
This film is played by Yena April as the main character, Dawon Cosmic Girls, Baek Gyul Great Guys and Eui Yeon and many more. "K-School" has been shooting at the end of 2020. The production team is currently preparing for its premiere. The plan is for "K-School" to premiere in theaters in the first half of 2021.
However, this decision raises pros and cons. Some netizens criticized the production team for editing Yena's part due to the bullying controversy. "Isn't this the hard work of all the production team, surely they will hope to be seen better through this film, right? Then why don't they edit Yena. If they include Yena, they will get more negative comments," wrote one netizen. "I think editing it will take a lot of time. It's not like editing a variety show. I respect the production team's decision, they deserve better this way," said netizens who agreed to the decision of the "K-School 'production team./wowkeren.com
