Go Min Si's agency says school bullying allegations are 'false and unfounded'
Go Min Si's agency, Mystic Story, has shut down rumors regarding alleged bullying involving the South Korean actress.
In a statement obtained by K-entertainment outlet Soompi, the agency said that claims making the rounds online about Min Si are "false and unfounded."
"We express our deep concern and regret that malicious posts based on false information are damaging the reputation of our agency's actor," it said.
Mystic Story also added that they are taking both civil and legal action over the allegations.
"We ask that everyone refrain from reporting and circulating speculative reports about our agency's actor without verification, as such actions can cause deep harm not only to the actor but also to the actor's family."
The statement came after an anonymous user in an online community made a post titled "We are the victims of actress Go ○○’s school bullying."
The individual claimed to be the actress's former classmate and said that the star allegedly engaged in money extortion, verbal abuse, and bullying of students with disabilities during their school days.
"I don't want any apology or compensation. What I want is for this actor to end her public activities permanently so no further victims are created," the post read, as per The Korea Times.
"There's no need for a belated, performative apology to avoid contract disputes. If the actor truly feels remorse, she should step away from the spotlight and live the rest of her life sincerely regretting her past actions," it continued.
In 2017, Min Si made her television debut with the historical drama My Sassy Girl.
She is also known for her roles in various K-drama series, including Love Alarm (2019), Sweet Home (2020), Youth of May (2021), and films such as The Witch: Part 1 (2018) and Smugglers (2023).
