Rookie Girl Group Member Named School Bully—Responds To Piled “Evidence”

Rookie girl group ADYA debuted under Starting House Entertainment in May 2023. Barely two years in the scene, however, the group faces a struggle as member Sena has been named a school bully in allegations that piled via X (former Twitter).

One user shared tips received from Sena’s alleged schoolmates, including the idol’s graduation photos and several accounts from those claiming to be victims or witnesses.

The collected pile of “evidence” alleged that one of Sena’s victims had to transfer schools due to Sena’s school violence—and that she was physically and verbally abusive to her schoolmates.

When she was in 3rd grade, she locked a schoolmate in the bathroom and bullied her. She ended up at the police station where her mom kneeled in front of the police… She’s the one who bullied the schoolmate, but the schoolmate transferred schools. She also went around cyberbullying people online during COVID-19. I can’t believe someone like her was able to debut and have Twitter praise for her good vibes or whatever.

Dubbing her a “cyberbully,” the user also alleged Sena was led a group of friends that singled out and harassed a schoolmate.

In 6th grade, Sena got into a fight and she threatened the schoolmate saying her parents gave her permission to beat up whoever got on her nerves. After the fight, Sena and her squad of friends invited the schoolmate into a group chat and harassed them to apologize to Sena. This happened when I was 13, and I was terrified of her. It’s true that she had a lot of trouble at school for her track record of school bullying.

One of the claims collected alleged that in May 2022, just a year before her debut, Sena approached her victim’s social media account to apologize.

20년에 싸불 사건을 일으켰던 세나는 22년 5월, 데뷔까지 1년을 남겨둔 시점에 ❗️갑자기 피해자의 인스타 계정을 찾아와 사과를 하였습니다. (에이디야 데뷔일 23년 5월)
대화 내용에서 보이듯이, 세나 본인 입으로 미성숙했단 점을 인정했으며, 이 일은 루머가 아닌 가해자 본인도 인정한 일입니다. https://t.co/q4cYPqusls pic.twitter.com/smbUSiAvpb

Sena, who was involved in a cyberbullying incident in 2020, approached the victim’s Instagram account out of the blue in May 2022, just a year before her debut, to apologize. (For reference, her debut date was May 2023.) As shown in the conversation, Sena herself admitted to her immaturity, confirming that this incident is not a rumor but an event acknowledged by the bully herself.

After the allegations circulated online, Sena took to fromm, a fan communication platform, and assured her fans that she was not a bully.

I’m sorry. But this feels a little unfair. Please wait for me. I’m really sorry, this is all my fault. I just need a little time. So sorry. I couldn’t log into fromm because I was so scared. I really wanted to come and tell you everything, but I thought that everyone might already hate me. So I just couldn’t get myself to open fromm. I’m sorry I’ve upset you all. I don’t know if anyone will believe me, but I promise to only tell the truth. And I’ve never bullied anyone in my life, ever.

— Sena

Despite her response, netizens now demand detailed clarification regarding the numerous testimonies. All eyes are on Sena and Starting House Entertainment, given her plea to “please wait.”
