Amid bullying rumors about April-born actor Lee Hyun-joo, the author, who is presumed to be his classmate, sparked controversy by releasing a new revelation article.
On the 1st, a post titled’All April members are perpetrators’ was posted in a community.
Author A, who is a high school alumni of Lee Hyun-ju, said, “Recently, as Hyun-ju’s younger brother exposed my bullying in April, a lot of speculation has been rampant.
“All members of April at that time bullied Hyun-joo, and there were no bystanders,” he said, listing the damage cases Lee Hyun-joo saw in the team. Mr. A confessed, “When I was a high school student, I was separated from my close friends, and the first friend who spoke to me when I was not able to hang out alone on the day of experiential learning was Hyun-ju. Whenever Hyun-ju was struggling with the members, I felt sorry.”

“It was difficult to imagine how hard it would have been without anyone to lean on while living in one dorm for 24 hours because the company didn’t even allow me to use my personal phone at the time. I also made an extreme attempt at that time. “The perpetrators did not show any signs of apology or reflection until the end, but they ended up withdrawing, and they had to write false letters saying that they were even for actors’ activities, and they were accused of many people.”
“If I had no meaning in idol activities and just withdrew to become an actor, I wouldn’t have been to’The Unit’. A lot of time has passed, but the wounds would not have healed,” he said. “We will support you to overcome trauma and continue to do various activities with boldness.”
Earlier, on the 28th of last month, Lee Hyun-joo’s younger brother exposed through a community that “my sister was bullied within the group,” a controversy arose. At the time, Lee Hyun-ju claimed that he suffered panic disorder and breathing difficulties due to bullying, and that he tried to make extreme choices.
Accordingly, DSP Media, the agency, is currently checking the facts, and the official position has not yet come out.
The following is the full text of the revelations posted on a community.
Hello, I am a former member of April and a friend of current actor Lee Hyun-joo.
I met Hyun-joo at high school, and now I’m in contact with each other occasionally.
As Hyun-joo’s younger brother recently exposed the facts of my bullying in April, there is a misconception that only some of the members have been harassed, so I am writing.
At that time, all members of April bullied Hyun-joo, and there were no bystanders. (Excluding Chaekyung and Rachel)
I will briefly write only what I have heard.
1. The first time I hated Hyun-joo and harassed him was Jeon So-min, a former member of April.
2. Chae-won tries to get close to So-min by separating Hyeon-ju (delivering words that Hyeon-ju did not say)
3. Hyun-joo put the tumbler he got from his grandmother in the dorm, but found it in the refrigerator at the company, and it turned out that Naeun put in cheonggukjang without saying anything. Then there was no apology and left unattended for several months.
4. Naeun steals Hyunjoo’s sneakers and insists he bought it, but she doesn’t apologize for taking it because she shows the name she wrote on the shoe.
5. Before returning to the camera in the broadcast, the members pointed out that’this X goes back to make my face look smaller’.
6. In addition, Jena and Jinsol continue to tease, step on, and step on their feet while harassing them with sarcasm.
7. Kim Chae-won was in a relationship with the manager at the time. So, the manager acknowledged the bullying and tolerated
8. After Hyun-joo’s suicide attempt, Hyun-joo and Hyun-joo’s mother went to the company because the members said they were reflecting on it.
There are tons of other things, but there are only a few things I remember exactly.
When I was in high school, I was separated from my close friends, and on the day of the experiential learning day, I couldn’t get along alone, but the first friend who spoke to me was Hyun-joo.
I don’t know how thankful I was for saying, “Aren’t you going to play after you’re done? Then let’s eat something delicious with me”
Whenever Hyunjoo was struggling because of the members, I felt sorry for him.
It was hard to imagine how hard it would have been without anyone to lean on while living 24 hours in one lodge at the time when the company couldn’t even use personal phones.
At that time, I tried to commit suicide, and the people around Hyun-ju at that time were very depressed.
The perpetrators did not even show any apology or reflection until the end, but eventually withdrew, and they had to write a false letter saying that it was even for actors’ activities, and many people were accused.
If you have no meaning in idol activities and just withdrew to become an actor, you wouldn’t have been to The Unit.
In a way, a lot of time has passed, but the wound has not healed, so I hope more and more people will pay attention.
In addition, we wait for the perpetrators’ reflection and sincere apology, and we cheer for Hyunjoo to overcome the trauma and continue to carry out various activities energetically in the future.
Let’s be happier in the future because you have endured well so far
