Ji Soo breaks addresses bullying allegations

In a conversation with Sports Chosun, Ji Soo denied the allegations of bullying him, saying that he was “treated like a stranger” by his schoolmates. The actor said, “I went to a middle school that was a bit far from my house. When I was in seventh grade, I was treated like a stranger.”

He added that he once stood up for a friend who was being tormented by a bunch of bullies. However, he was beaten up for doing so by the same students. He stated that he later became friends with the bullies after they apologised and made amends with him.

“At that time, I also did have some bad feelings towards them, but I thought it would help make my school life more comfortable. I was close with them, but I did not bully or assault anyone,” said Ji Soo. He also addressed the allegations of school violence levelled against him, claiming that he was wrongfully accused of isolating another kid.
