The actress Go Min Si, known for her rising status as a new romantic comedy talent, has encountered a setback amidst allegations of school bullying.

Go Min Si garnered acclaim for her performance in the Genie TV series ‘Tastefully Yours’, where she played Mo Yeon Joo, a chef with a passion for fine dining who starts her own restaurant in Jeonju. Her portrayal was praised for its depth, showcasing her dedication to her character and range of emotions. Paired with co-star Kang Ha Neul, she struck a balance between warmth and seriousness that resonated with viewers, earning her recognition as a potential star in romantic comedies.

The drama not only gained popularity in Korea but also achieved top rankings on Netflix in 17 countries for non-English series. Go Min Si was a key figure in its success.

However, the positive reception was overshadowed when allegations of school bullying surfaced on May 26th. An online post accused her of engaging in various forms of bullying during her middle school years, including extortion, verbal abuse, and isolation of students, some with disabilities. The accuser criticized her for allegedly lacking remorse and dismissing past actions as minor mistakes.

Her agency, Mystic Story, promptly refuted the claims as baseless and showed unwavering support for the actress. Nevertheless, the public's response has been mixed due to the detailed and emotional nature of the accusations.

The timing of the controversy has been detrimental as it emerged during a period of heightened attention on Go Min Si following the success of her recent projects. This unexpected development poses a threat to the career path she had been steadily building. The resolution of this situation will hold significant weight for her future in the entertainment industry.
