The person claimed that Taein would mimic sexual acts in front of female students and hung out with “troublemakers.”

I was a middle school classmate of Choi Taein. He would frequently run around the school shouting the word “sex,” and even in front of female students, he would mimic sexual acts together with male classmates.
Choi Taein was part of the group typically referred to as the “troublemakers.” The Photoism pictures associated with him were taken with the same group of male friends he had been hanging out with since middle school and later continued seeing into adulthood.
In 2018, when we were in our first year of middle school (he was born in 2005), I was subjected to bullying by Choi Taein’s friends. During this time, Choi Taein stood by, laughed, mocked me, and did nothing to stop it.

Another individual claimed that Taein would get his “tougher” friends to bully and harass people, while a different alleged classmate who provided enrollment prove claimed that he and his friends bullied a student so badly he ended up unable to attend normal classes.

When Choi Taein was in middle school, he would often hang out with a group known as “iljin” (delinquent students). He mocked and picked on his peers, and if someone displeased him, he would call on his tougher friends to harass them on his behalf.

Hello, I am a former classmate of Choi Taein. While in school, he and his peer group consistently targeted and harassed a fellow student. The sustained psychological stress from this bullying prevented the student from attending regular classes, and they remained in a specialized support class until graduation.

According to some of the alleged classmates, Taein’s targets also included teachers.

Hello, I am a fellow ex-schoolmate of Choi Taein. Although we were not in the same grade, he was so notorious that I heard all of the rumors circulating in the thread. Naturally, anyone who appeared weaker than him—whether teachers, senior students, or peers—was easily made the target of his ridicule.

You really want to debut after you got sent to the disciplinary committee for saying you want to kill your homeroom teacher slowly and painfully by pouring gasoline on them and lighting them on fire and laughing at someone saying they want to rip off the teacher’s eyes, nose, and ears? Taein… Dear Taein. Literally sit the f*ck down.
