Actor Kim Dong Hee reportedly confessed that he bullied the accuser.
Previously, the accuser with the initials "K" accused the actor of bullying him when he was still in elementary school.
At that time, the star of the drama SKY Castle, Itaewon Class and Extracurricular denied the accusations and filed a lawsuit against "K" with accusations of defamation.
Now according to a report from Sports Kyunghyang, the police have concluded that “K” did not commit defamation due to lack of evidence.
According to the police report, "The perpetrator admitted that he bullied 'K' when he was in 5th grade with verbal attacks. However, the perpetrator denied 'K' accusations that he threatened him with scissors and a cutter knife. The perpetrator admitted that he once pushed 'K' in the chest with his hand, and kicked 'K' in the chest with his foot, but maintains his position that 'K' has raised the issue of bullying on the internet with the aim of making the incident a serious matter."
The police then concluded, “Based on that, it is difficult to conclude whether the accusations of 'K' against perpetrator Kim Dong Hee are false: 1. 'K' was able to provide detailed and descriptive testimony regarding the incident; 2. The principal at the time recalled this incident and submitted a sound recording as evidence; 3. Other witnesses have also given testimony confirming the statement 'K'."
Although their lawsuit against the accuser has been dropped by the police, Kim Dong Hee's attorney said, "The fact that the police have rejected the lawsuit does not mean that 'K' is completely correct."
Meanwhile, the family of 'K' said, "Kim Dong Hee and his agency still have not apologized for the actor's past treatment. We hope that Kim Dong Hee will admit his mistake and apologize sincerely.” (www.kpopchart.net)
