Actor Son Seok-gu sued a netizen who raised suspicions of school violence and pointed out the problem of forming public opinion by posting anonymously revealing articles online.
On the 10th, through his SNS, Son Seok-gu said, "I will not even explain rebuttals such as 'I have never been like that' to an anonymous post that does not specify the basis or victim." "At least myself, knowing the environment in which I was raised, I will tell you that I am proud." He denied the allegations of sexual assault.
Earlier last month, an article was posted online that Son Seok-gu was the perpetrator of school violence.
One netizen said, "I was a witness to Son Seok-gu's school violence." "Son Seok-gu picked and harassed only those with weak strength, strangling the victims' necks, hitting the back of the head, and taking off their slippers. The victim resisted in the process. If you disobeyed Son Seok-gu’s intentions, he would be retaliated against.”
Regarding this, Sohn Seok-gu said, "In an era when online public opinion became power, a few words thrown by an anonymous person are sometimes like a hit and run car without a license plate. If even Hoso is treated like a shepherd boy, the responsibility will be on all of us who speak easily and believe easily.”
Son Seok-gu said on the 9th that he had filed a complaint with the police against a netizen who posted an exposing of school violence against him. He said, "It may take some time for the results to come out, but those who sympathize with the problem should watch it with interest."He added.
