The allegations surfaced in a report by JTBC's 'Crime Thief' implicating an actor referred to as 'S' who gained popularity for portraying a villain in a recent drama. According to the report, the informant claimed to have been assaulted by actor 'S' in August 2004 during their high school years in Seocho-gu, Seoul.
The informant, now residing in the United States, sought an apology from actor 'S' for the past incident. However, the response received was regarding a potential discussion with 'S' in Los Angeles.
In response to these allegations, Song Ha Yoon's agency asserted, "After verifying the facts with the actor in question, we have confirmed that there has been no contact with the informant and that the information provided is untrue." They urged against spreading unconfirmed facts and speculative reports regarding the matter.
