Actress Go Min Si has decided against appearing at a forthcoming public event due to rising controversy linked to claims of school bullying. Her initial plan was to participate in a brand function in Seoul on the 29th, but this was altered as of the 28th. The event will proceed with other well-known figures, such as actors Kim Seon Ho, Lee Min Jung, soccer player Hwang Hee Chan from Wolverhampton, aespa’s Giselle, and BOYNEXTDOOR members Taesan and Woonhak.
Recent accusations surfaced from supposed former middle school classmates against Go Min Si, asserting that she engaged in bullying behaviors. These claims, including extortion, verbal abuse, physical harm, and mockery of students with disabilities, were posted by anonymous individuals on an online platform on May 26. Mystic Story, her agency, refuted all allegations, asserting that they were baseless after conducting thorough investigations.
Due to the ongoing controversy, Go Min Si is also contemplating whether she will participate in interviews following the conclusion of the Genie original drama The Taste of You. Moreover, a former classmate mentioned in the accusations commented on Instagram on the 27th, rebutting the claims made against them and challenging the accusers to provide evidence, denouncing anonymous online attacks as a form of violence.
