APRIL has been accused of bullying former member Hyunjoo. Following these allegations, chatter allegedly circulated that Naeun made a joke of a joke from a controversial rape case.
In the accusation of the man who claimed to be Hyunjoo's younger brother, it was said that APRIL members directly looked down on their former member. DSP Media as the agency stated that they would investigate this matter.
Amid the controversy that is not yet clear, Naeun is receiving the spotlight for allegedly making a joke of a very sensitive issue with a male friend. The following is the contents of the conversation in circulation:
Friend: Not you, but another girl hahaha
Naeun: Do you want to be raped by Go Young Wook too !?
Friend: Sorry (in a very polite way for women)
The chat shocked netizens because Go Young Wook was a celebrity who was found guilty of raping a minor. Many believe that making such "jokes" is completely inappropriate.
However there is debate about whether the message was actually made up by Naeun. While some said that it was edited, others said it was impossible to guess Naeun's friend's name and also get photos that have never been seen anywhere else.
Moreover, the comment was made as soon as Go Young Wook was reported by one of the victims on January 3, 2013. Netizens said that the timing was too coincidence to fabricate.
Back in July 2020, Naeun was in the spotlight after a netizen who claimed to be her friend in elementary school made claims that she had been bullied by him. But the netizen apologized again and revealed that the claim was made up.
Naeun herself is now very active outside APRIL. Recently he was the MC of SBS's "Inkigayo" music program with NCT 127's Jaehyun and Monsta X's Lee Minhyuk.
Apart from music, Naeun is also active in acting. He is known for starring in the popular web drama "A-Teen" for two seasons and MBC's hit drama "Extraordinary You". Naeun also took a role in the new SBS drama "Taxi Driver" with Lee Je Hoon and Esom. (wk / chus)
