Comedian and singer Jo Ji-hoon (active name Jako) took the side of Yoon Hyeong-bin in connection with the controversy about assisting Yoon Hyung-bin assault.
Jo Ji-hoon has a history of working together in a small theater run by Yoon Hyung-bin.
He said on his SNS on the 18th, “In 2016, after dropping out of school and running away from home, Yoon Hyung-bin heard that he wanted to learn gag from a friend who wandered away from home. For nearly two years, he provided room and board at the small theater in Yun Hyeong-bin. I spent my personal expenses so that I could take the GED and took care of them. Then, in 2017, he left the small theater Yun Hyung-bin, and there has been no contact since,” he explained to Mr. A, who posted an online article claiming to assist Yoon Hyeong-bin’s assault.
“Afterwards, I contacted Yoon Hyung-bin around November and asked for money to inform the media about his past problems, and Yoon Hyung-bin said,’If you ask for help without threatening, you can help as much as you can, but don’t do this.’ The friend asked Yoon Hyung-bin to pay for his father’s hospital expenses, saying,’It was because he felt sorry for his past colleagues.’ In that way, Yoon Hyung-bin sent 3 million won to me to pay it back if I had money later.” He explained the situation so far.
Jo Ji-hoon said, “Wage arrears are very different from the facts.” Yun Hyung-bin was paying an additional 500,000 won while providing accommodation and meals to inquirers at the time. The situation is like this, but it is questionable which part is called arrears of wages.”
He also added, “I am a comedian, and I have been provided education on the composition and acting of a comedian from my fellow comedians, and I tried all of my efforts to get that friend on the stage as he wanted, but I couldn’t because of lack of competence.”
Finally, Jo Ji-hoon said, “This time, I contacted me and said,’I will uncover everything,’ saying,’People have overlooked the harassment of me and ruined me’, and’I have no money and have never done anything to be blamed in society. “If I can, I will do that,” he said. “Even though I felt sorry for the situation, I couldn’t stand the threats against my family anymore, and eventually I was sued for threats and other charges. However, my accusation is not to punish the friend. With this opportunity, I have a greater desire to wake up, stop doing this, and receive good psychiatric treatment.”
On the other hand, Mr. A’s legal representative said, “It really happened, and the disease was caused by the assault case, and it is fabricating like a false fact. “It’s a mental illness, so I’m telling it in a lie.”
In addition, “If Mr. Yoon Hyung-bin uses his fame and influence to further claim that Mr. A is lying, he is also defamation.” “If Mr. A is unable to speak properly and stutters, the words He denies the credibility, but in the first place, Mr. A had a speech impairment because of the assault during the three years that Yoon Hyung-bin tolerated and stood by.”
▶ The following is the full text of Jo Ji-hoon’s post
Yesterday, the incident that I posted about exposing Yoon Hyung-bin is actually my name and it is related to me. Looking at the article and the Internet, I know the whole story in detail, and as a victim, I write this because I can’t stand by anymore.
At first, this is a story about a friend with mental illness, so I hoped to go quietly in a direction that would not hurt each other, but it seems that many people may misunderstand when reading media articles and Internet articles. Some of them are captured and left.
First of all, the friend’s claim for arrears is quite different from the facts.
In the small theater Yun Hyung-bin, there are several comedians and new actors, and these friends practice gag, perform, and gain experience. In the process, you do some work for the performance, and the sound and lighting that the friend claims are also applicable. At that time, the performance was held once on a Friday, three times on a Saturday, and twice on a Sunday. Each performance lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
After making a hundred concessions, the friend was in charge of the job, and it was converted into working hours. Even so, the time was only 9 hours per week (1 hour and 30 minutes per performance, 6 performances per week), which was calculated as wages at the time. If so, it is less than 300,000 won per month (the minimum wage at the time was 6470 won). Yoon Hyung-bin was paying an additional 500,000 won while providing accommodation and meals to inquirers at the time. The situation is like this, and it is questionable which part is called overdue wages.
In addition, he is a comedian who is a comedian, and he was provided with education on the composition and acting of comedians, including me and fellow comedians.I tried all of my efforts to get him to the stage as he wanted, but because of lack of competence, I couldn’t. We, too, are unable to properly pay the admission fee and present performances that are below the standard to the audience.
And the whole story of this case is like this.
In 2016, after dropping out of school and running away from school, Yoon Hyung-bin heard that he wanted to learn gag to a friend who wandered away from home. For nearly two years, Hyung-bin Yun provided room and board at the small theater accommodation and provided private expenses so that he could take the GED. They were caring and caring for them. Then, in 2017, Yoon Hyung-bin left the small theater and there was no contact after that.
After that, in November, I contacted Yoon Hyung-bin and asked for money to inform the media about his past problems, and Yoon Hyung-bin said,’If you ask for help without threatening, you can help as much as you can, but don’t do this.’ The friend asked Yoon Hyung-bin to pay his father’s hospital bill, saying,’I did it because I felt sorry for my past colleagues.’ In that way, Yoon Hyung-bin sent 3 million won to me to pay back if I had money later because of his regret.
Then, this time, he contacted me and said, ‘I bystand the people harassing me and ruined me.’, ‘I will expose everything’, ‘If I put the frame of the celebrity who harassed the minor, I will be advantageous.’ I have no money and have never done anything to be socially blamed, so if you can expose it, do it.”
Then he sent various swear words, and then he said, “It’s because you didn’t take medicine. I’m sorry.”, “I’ll contact you when my mind is in good shape. I’m sorry.” But the next day, abusive language and threats continued, and later,’I was prepared to die, and even if I die, I will stab you or your family with a knife.’ I sent the same death threat text several times, and no matter how much I felt sad about his situation, I couldn’t stand the threats against these families anymore, and eventually I was sued for threats and other charges.
However, my accusation is not to punish the friend. With this opportunity, I hope that the friend will wake up, stop doing this, and receive good psychiatric treatment. It seems that the situation is rising to the rumors of many people and is becoming gossip. It’s what he intended it to do, it agrees with his condition, and doesn’t help anyone.
I hope that you will not be shaken anymore.
And finally, he is a patient in need of treatment. Please do not dig into his friend’s identity, but please help him get well treated and return to society so that he can live a normal life as a normal man. May all of you end the case without any deep wounds.
