The issue of bullying that is currently heating up in South Korea has recently targeted girl group APRIL, and recently one of its members, Lee Naeun, has been in the spotlight because of her past comments.
Allegations of bullying within girl group APRIL recently emerged after the circulation of the confession of Hyunjoo's younger brother, a former APRIL member who has officially left the group since 2016.
After this issue was raised, many netizens seemed to be reassembling the members' activities while surfing in cyberspace, both before debut and after debut. One of the concerns is the comments made by Lee Naeun before her debut.
The following is a conversation snippet that caught the attention of netizens:
Friend: Not you, but another girl hahaha
Naeun: Do you want to be raped by Go Young Wook too !?
Friend: Sorry….
Naeun: Dewi ^^
Friend: Sure ㅠㅠㅠ (Threatened)
The conversation between Lee Naeun and her friend shocked netizens, considering that Go Young Wook was a Korean celebrity who was convicted of raping a minor and many believed that making "jokes" like that was completely inappropriate.
Regarding this conversation, not a few netizens are also debating whether this is really Naeun. Others mentioned that the comments had been edited.
In addition, the comment was made immediately after Go Young Wook was reported by one of the victims on January 3, 2013, so the timing of the conversation seemed to coincide.
Meanwhile, DSP Media has been checking since yesterday and has not issued an official statement regarding their artist. Let's wait for the latest news from the agency! (www.kpopchart.net)
