In a recent episode of JTBC’s investigative program “Incident Director”, allegations surfaced regarding actress S’s involvement in school violence and subsequent disciplinary actions. Identified as Song Ha-Yoon, the actress faced scrutiny after claims of her participation in a group assault resulting in a grade 8 punishment.
In South Korea, disciplinary measures for school violence perpetrators are categorized from grade 1 to grade 9, ranging from written apologies to expulsion. Grade 8, equivalent to forced transfer, denotes severe consequences for the accused.
According to reports, Song Ha-Yoon faced two forced transfers during her high school years, allegedly linked to incidents of school violence. However, the actress refuted claims of her involvement in the specific assault mentioned by JTBC, emphasizing that her transfers were associated with other cases.
Born in Bucheon, Song Ha-Yoon reportedly attended Jungwon High School and Banpo High School before transferring to Apgujeong High School. While acknowledging her past transfers, the actress maintains her innocence regarding the incident under investigation.
As allegations continue to circulate, Song Ha-yoon’s response sheds light on the complexities of addressing school violence issues in South Korea. While acknowledging the severity of the accusations, the actress remains steadfast in denying her involvement in the reported incident.
