High School Classmates Speak Out After Actress Denies School Violence Allegations
Actress Song Hayoon’s school violence allegations have received a new perspective.
After Song denied the assault and forced transfer allegations, the Banpo High School classmates have come forward with conflicting testimonies.
On September 2, Lee Jinho’s YouTube channel released a video featuring the testimony of Song Hayoon’s high school classmates.
This was seen as a rebuttal to Song Hayoon’s recent legal action with a law firm, where she claimed, “There was no assault or forced transfer at the time.”
She previously acknowledged the forced transfer through he former agency, but denied the assault. However, she recently changed her position, denying both incidents.
Alleged victim “A” claims they were slapped in the face by Song Hayoon for 90 minutes during school, and recently returned to Korea to take legal action.
Lee Jinho released audio interviews with the Banpo High School classmates who remember the Song Hayoon case.
Classmate A stated, “I am a classmate of Song Hayoon and was a close friend of her boyfriend at the time.”
Regarding her emotional statement on a TV show, “A” responded, “Even though a lot of time has passed, I thought it would be quite hard for victims if she continued to act like that.”
“A” also testified about the situation in detail.
At the time, I saw the victim’s face clearly when Song Hayoon’s group beat them. I asked them, ‘What’s wrong with your face?’ The four of us were close, but three of them beat the victim. After the incident, the three who beat the victim were scattered. Unless it was a forced transfer of schools, they couldn’t have suddenly disappeared.

Classmate “B” revealed, “When Song Hayoon first transferred to our school, I tried to approach her because she was a celebrity. We went to school together, but then we drifted apart.”
Regarding Song Hayoon’s claims, they responded, “It’s a lie through and through. All my classmates know that Song Hayoon transferred schools because she hit them.”
Classmate B gave more details about the situation.
“The kids at Banpo High School were friendly, and even though there were bullies, many of them were kind. We didn’t really hit or bully each other, but this was the first time girls were hitting people. I remember the rumor that she had been transferred spreading quickly. The kids who were accused of hitting didn’t show up at school.
When Song Hayoon started acting, we all thought, ‘If the school violence issue breaks out, it’ll be a disaster.’ But now that it’s happened, I hope she apologizes if she did something wrong. But I don’t see any reflection, so I thought, ‘That’s typical Song Hayoon.’”
