Song Ha Yoon’s school bullying accuser hits back at defamation lawsuit, says, "I am the victim in this case"

South Korean actor Song Ha Yoon has recently been faced with school bullying allegations. She took legal steps and filed a criminal complaint against the person who had accused her of bullying.

Song Ha’s legal representative, JI EUM Law Firm, has recently announced that the actress had worked to gather evidence disproving the school bullying allegations. She had submitted multiple supporting documents to the authorities.

According to Allkpop, the alleged victim has now come forward and responded to Song Ha’s lawsuit in a lengthy statement. In the statement, the accuser identified themselves as a U.S. citizen currently residing overseas. They denied allegations that they had declined to cooperate with the police investigation.

The statement reads, “Although I am the victim in this case, I was asked by the Korean police to appear for questioning. However, since I am staying abroad for the long term, I would have to cover all expenses, including airfare, lodging, and other travel costs. It is excessive and unreasonable to expect a victim to travel to Korea at their own expense just to be investigated.”
